Is Hurley that much better at finding the right guys or he is just better at coaching the guys he finds?
We are going to have to for next tear if all the underclassmen people are predicting go proHe's the best at it, and I can't imagine 2024 transfer targets haven't noticed
Like Dook, UNC, KU & UK land all the best one and done players, we should be landing the best portal options

I think he finds a player who fits mentally and has some transferable skills he can make them reach greatness. Quite easy to prove as Diarra, Joey, Cam, Newt weren't half the players they were before they came.Is Hurley that much better at finding the right guys or he is just better at coaching the guys he finds?

Timberlake is finally playing better. But he’s no Cam Spencer and wouldn’t be if he came here. Definitely lucked out. Something about the crowd and intensity just makes Cam go to another level. He thrives on it.Well let’s be honest on this one, he and we got lucky with Spencer and not Timberlake. We can thank Self and The Hemi for that lol.
But the pieces he’s brought in have been almost perfect no matter how. He and the staff will need to hit a couple HRs again coming up next year.
There's a lot that goes into that. Certainly finding the right guy is a big part of it as is coaching him once he gets here. But there's also being able to build cohesiveness among the existing team and the new additions. I don't think people pay enough attention to that or understand how difficult it is. So far, at least, Hurley and the staff appear to be superb at it.I think he finds a player who fits mentally and has some transferable skills he can make them reach greatness.

Some have argued that Newt was this good the second he stepped on campus. That's a tough pill to swallow.
Wow did he redshirt as a sophomore?? If so yeah he does have a sixth year of eligibility. Getting him and Karaban back would be epic.Also, side note, just dreaming about the possibility of Spencer returning for an extra year of eligibility.
Nature of the business, but yes.I understand and agree with the love for Danny as a recruiter and a coach but he also has talented assistant coaches who are also good at both. They hardly get a mention in these threads though
I think Kimani and Luke get a lot of praise around here. It never goes unnoticed when Hurley calls everyone one out for not hiring these guys as their head coach. We’ve discussed how lucky we are with these guys. Part of Hurley’s skill set is his ability to surround himself and attract top coaching talent as well. He’s not afraid of staff turnover either. I was upset when Kenya Hunter left, but man…Luke has definitely been instrumental in the upward trajectory of the program if not a an upgrade from Hunter.I understand and agree with the love for Danny as a recruiter and a coach but he also has talented assistant coaches who are also good at both.

Don't do that to my heart. I have a family to supportWow did he redshirt as a sophomore?? If so yeah he does have a sixth year of eligibility. Getting him and Karaban back would be epic.
his soph year he met the % of season metric playing only 5 games. Unfortunately they were the last 5 games. In the past playing past the 40% point of the season triggered a season of eligibility, not sure if that is still the case. In FB you get 4 games any part of the season so……..MAYBE!!Wow did he redshirt as a sophomore?? If so yeah he does have a sixth year of eligibility. Getting him and Karaban back would be epic.

Who’s our most impactful big transfer. Was okwandu ?
Yeah I’m reading the rules and I don’t think he qualifies. The year in debate is 2020-21 and As of 2018:his soph year he met the % of season metric playing only 5 games. Unfortunately they were the last 5 games. In the past playing past the 40% point of the season triggered a season of eligibility, not sure if that is still the case. In FB you get 4 games any part of the season so……..MAYBE!!
