I guess Kevin Willard's job is safe for now.

Conflicting info now.

Bobby Hurley has not signed deal to stay at Buffalo, sources told ESPN. As of this moment, source said he intends to interview with DePaul.

Always liked Hurley as a player. He knew his role and performed well.

 

[Jaker]

He has a young team at Buffalo, they could be very good next year, probably the best team in Upstate NY.

Even though DePaul is getting a new arena in a few years... I still think that is a bad move. That job is a career killer. No one has won there in over 20 years.

Dave Leitao disagrees. He also recruited fairly well there

I wish Buffalo was in our league.

For whatever reason during recent interviews I've seen and some of the Laettner 30/30 stuff I like Bobby Hurley now, at least a lot more than when he was a dribbling midget for Duke.

Buffalonian born and raised, and UB law grad.

The only thing worse than them covering the word "Buffalo" and plastering "New York" and other annoying branding changes, would be for Hurley to leave now.

The fact that I'm a diehard UConn fan tells you how into college hoops our city has been recently (20 years).

Hurley staying, if he does, and building a great program would be great for the area, would definitely get enough fan support, would be a big addition to some of the other things blossoming around here. He could help turn UB as a university into a bigger name and brand.

While he was a bit of a punk at Puke, compared to Wojo, Curry and most of the rest of the dolts, I can stomach him.
I have heard interviews and he really cares about the players and the school.
I just cant see him turning down the DePaul gig
