Official: Hurley tells UK, NOPE

[UConnSwag11]

Hurley legit has everything he could want here at UConn

 

[Palatine]

LOL at the idiots who have kept this Hurley to UK thing alive. Say "uncle."

Kentucky basketball getting a swirly in front of the nation from 3 (and counting) coaches is about as fun an offseason news story as there can be.

Carry on.

To follow on from the Tweet above...

What if they offer him $21M?

 

[Jaydumo20]

This is way more to my liking.

Errybody already knew, but it's cool

Quote from twitter: "This search is worse than a tinder match in Kentucky."

What if they offer him $21M?

How much money does it take to cleanse a cesspool?

The next Cam, Tristen, Hass and Stephon are out there. Dan Hurley is Jerry McGuire

Id hardly call this official. Official will be a news report that says "Dan Hurley and the University of Connecticut have agreed on a contract extension blah blah blah"

Not "Official", but I assume one of the sources was actually Hurley himself.

Kentucky is like an NBA job. 0 job security. Hurley (or anyone) could risk it at UK and only last 5 years or they could stay put, get a heft raise and work untol they're 70 as a hometown hero.

UK is being caught out. Got too big for their britches

Kentucky be like....

 

[superjohn]

They're going to work their way all the way down to this guy and then he's going to say no...

"The way they keep getting stuck on “UConn can’t match that.” Obviously. But, it’s not an auction. You don’t get the coach by just offering the most money. UConn will make the numbers work the way they did last year with a respectable increase but more importantly- program support, staff salaries, etc. UConn fans should only consider the Kentucky talk as a humorous distraction."

I don't know what the relationship NJHoops has with Dan but it seems to be a close relationship.

How well off is the school? Will a raise of Hurley's magnitude affect us?

As close as it gets.

Kentucky Fans right now.

Agreed. Norlander was getting texts directly from Hurley while the team was sitting on the tarmac at Bradley. I trust his reporting.

UK go kick rocks!

I’ve been thinking of this comparison recently. His “you better get us know speech” was effectively his Jerry McGuire mission statement. Now he’s shown the recruits the kwon and they’re flocking to him to be a part of something bigger than themselves.

No one mentions this Danny is well on his way to the HOF and I don't meant the Boneyard HOF
