The comments from his coach at PSA also speak volumes about the way everyone at UCONN has handled the situation. The goodwill that Hurley has established here will benefit the program ten fold with HS and prep coaches. As for Mamadou, he just became one of my favorite Huskies of all time. His dreams for the future have reluctantly changed for him, but I have no doubt this move will set him up with a bright future in coaching. It's a different dream for him now, but one that will insure him a bright future going forward in the sport he loves. Props to Hurley and everyone at UCONN for making this happen. I'm sure Hurley will do everything possible to help Diarra secure an assistant coaching job after his UCONN career is over. Best of luck to this young man, a true Husky forever. [/QUOTE]
