Still coaching out years of as he says “losing habits” and I think even if we only land a Wahab or Tre this recuiting class will be a success. We have to earn back top 50 players seeing UConn as a worthy destination. He developed players in a great way at RI often ourpermforming high school rankings. So don’t necessarily believe in his first major recruiting class he needs Kofi or precious. A 3-4 year player might fit his system betterB+/A- seems fair overall.
He quickly changed the culture of this program, though perhaps that was the easiest part of the job.
Recruiting looks better so far, but we need to land a top center.
On-court results have been encouraging at times, but we've still only won 1 (out of 4) big games so far. I'd consider it an "incomplete" on instilling basketball IQ and situational awareness, which tends to fall back into old losing habits.
Pretty fair overall..
If he brings us to the NIT with a Top 25 class it's a B+
He gets an A+ if he gets a great recruiting class and gets us a winning season. A++ if we make the tourney. These aren’t even his players and he’s doing a great job. Peoples expectations jumped after the Syracuse winThe letter grade after 10 games depends on so many critierias but what about after the season? This is how I grade the potential results.
If Hurley brings us to the NCAA and has a Top 25 recruiting class it's an A. An A+ if we are in the second weekend.
If he brings us to the NIT with a Top 25 class it's a B+
If he signs a top 25 class without the tourney and NIT but we are competitive throughout the AAC season and beat who we are supposed... a B.
Otherwise, I don't want to think it.
DIsagree.Anyone giving Hurley a B was not in the proper zip code with their initial expectations and roster assessment.
Hardaway is basically Kevin Ollie as a coach, but more motivated on the recruiting trail. At least what i've seen so far.
Wiseman is indisputably a great get for them, but if it's not in Memphis, we'll see how easy it is for him to get.
Truly, he, and Memphis have really seemed to invest themselves into recruiting.
Tough grader, but I have high expectations. And the team is not without talent.
I get what you're saying and I'm sure Hurley would share the same sentiments, but it's just not reality. We finished under .500 two years in a row. If we win 20 or 21 regular season games this year it's a job well done. Anything better than that is a miraculous turnaround.DIsagree.
I don’t grade on a curve. They have an nba caliber guard in Jalen Adams and talent in the backcourt
They are 1-3 against their best 4 teams. HE’s been good. He has done a terrific job. But I think they outplayed big Arizona. So, he should Be 8-2.

Both PH and KO are pro players with 0 head coaching experience when taking overHardaway is basically Kevin Ollie as a coach, but more motivated on the recruiting trail. At least what i've seen so far.

You might be right. I am giving him a B, but that is probably as low as you could go, and I am a hard grader.
I think it is worth discussion and maybe I was a little too harsh. I trust you guys.
Lol.Stop sucking up to us!
You shoulda come in here guns a’blazen saying “he really deserves a C!”
