Message: [QUOTE="Matrim55, post: 2500504, member: 3376"] Getting those quality of players to come to URI is a victory. He took over the worst team in the conference and slowly built it into a perennial 20+ win team, and built them into the best recruiting team in the A-10. He's also had a very good eye for transfers and under-the-radar talents. You may not want any more 3*s, but the fact is that whether it's Ollie or someone new, the UConn coaching staff for the next few years is going to have to identify, land and develop at least a few 150-250-ranked players. Unless Coach K wants to move to Storrs, there's no avoiding that. So we need a coach who's shown some facility for digging a program out of a hole. Agree 100%, and that – not recruiting – is why he needs to go. It depends on how much money we have to offer. If we can throw $2.5 million at somebody, there will be plenty of interested parties (including, perhaps, the other Hurley, as well as a few of the better-regarded Big East coaches). [/QUOTE]
