Message: [QUOTE="yungdowork, post: 4292084, member: 10371"] I think Hurley could have handled certain players differently (Diggins, Floyd), but most of the guys who work hard and show toughness have improved as much or more than expected in my opinion. I think that certain personalities don't blend that well with the way that Hurley runs the program, and that has probably led to some falling outs. Except for Gilbert, who was solid enough at Wich St, I don't really think anyone who transferred out in the Hurley era has had too much success at their next school. In 2019, we all expected big things from both Gaffney and Akok's respective careers, and it's sad that they didn't rise to those heights, but I don't think I can blame Hurley for it not panning out that way. Akok's injury derailed him and now he's looking for a new beginning as a guy who will be 23 at the start of next season. Gaffney unfortunately just didn't seem to have a killer instinct and would get in his own head after every mistake. Sad to see them go and grateful they came here when the program was struggling, wish them nothing but success as long as they don't wind up in the BE. [/QUOTE]
