Some Guy: UConn close to signing Hurley

[HawkHusky]

Pitt @ $4 and we are at $3.5M

Is this known or an educated guess?

 

[Urcea]

this thread about to hit 500 pages

 

[TopDogs]

Rush from sniffing glue or...?

 

[krinklecut]

Got in my DeLorean and went five years to the future to see how this plays out.

Well folks this is what happens.
1) We get Hurley.
2) He keeps the players and convinces Akinjo to commit to UConn.
3) First season gets to the NIT and make the semis. The Boneyard is going nuts. Chief changes from briefs to boxers. Blaze is out and PF Changs is in.
4) Second season we win a NC. Several posters make a statement and cut their toes off.
5) Season three UConn barely above a five hundred record. Lose first round NIT. Some Boneyard rumblings. Stainmaster argues most of good players entered NBA.
6) Season 4 losing record and no post season. Tenspro2002 says Hurley won with KO's players and wants to dump DH. Stainmaster and Tenspro get into a heated debate.
7) Season 5 losing record and JMick leads a chorus of Boneyarders demanding to fire DH as well as DB and all the Boneyarders that chose DH over Howie. Superjohn rants after every bad play and after every loss. Sue Herbst and AD Dave are dismissed. Whaler is so ecstatic he falls into a rink and gets hit in the head with a hockey puck. He survives but comes back a nice fella. Chief sails into the sunset with Bunky. A thread is started with the heading "Some dude claims UConn is close to signing Oats".

Louisville is an interesting wrinkle.

But that’s far away from all his roots.

But if they go above Pitt’s offer....who knows.

 

[krinklecut]

MAYBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I DON'T KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Something is happening at Louisville at 5:30...

If we could do it all again, with National Title and This Thread, I would.

Well football alumnus said we are at 3.5 meaning Pitt would have to be more than us... so $4 would make sense

 

[intlzncster]

Nah. It will be a bit of a bad look because he was the AD's #1 target, but at the end of the day it's not like he's a guarantee.

That's what's crazy. No idea if Hurley's "the guy". Looks good on paper, but who knows? Most of us just want a win.

 

[8893]

If Hurley nixes Pitt because of concerns about uprooting the family I can't see him considering Louisville.

Mack is where they're looking. He's got the pedigree and recruiting grounds down. It would be a strange move for Louisville and Hurley.

 

[UConnStats]

We certainly are not at $3.5M. That football player was wrong.

 

[HawkHusky]

Louisville targets:

1. Mack
2. Marshall
3. Cronin

47. Hurley

I'm also not sold that Pitt is at 4m

 

[ctchamps]

Just noticed I had 69 alerts y'all. For the record.

That number will be on your tombstone. Just hope it goes there when you die at 96.

I think Pitt's offer is more years than ours; eight vs. five iirc.

[intlzncster]

FWIW, I've heard we raised our offer in last 24 hours. Not at PITT level, but a very good offer.

40+ pages and we got an actual tidbit. Thanks man.

 

[TRest]

Pitt @ $4 and we are at $3.5M

$4 million for a guy who hasn't even reached the sweet 16 is bonkers. Good thing we aren't that desperate.

Thanks Guys for putting in the heavy lifting today. I skipped 50 pages that grew since yesterday but landed on IPA beer recommendations.

Obviously:

Sip of sunshine, two roads to ruin, and heady topper.

I’m from Westerly RI and Stonington. Some amazing local brews:

Gray sails Captain’s Daughter truly one of the best I’ve ever drank

Stonington boroughs Beer’d= Dogs and Boats and Hobbit Juice amazing double IPAs
