Some Guy: UConn close to signing Hurley

[UConnNick]

Seems weird as Miller has been in CA recruiting and has not been seen in Pittsburgh. But Matt Steinbrink of PantherLair is usually in the know and says Miller is 1a and in play - and a contract was being discussed on Sunday (by phone, presumably).

According to media reports on the local news in Tucson, Miller and Pitt are dealing through "intermediaries", meaning Pitt has hired a search firm and they're in communication with Miller's agent.

Does this mean that Arizona is now in the picture for Hurley ?

Just got an email from Ray Allen, inviting me to participate in UCONN first annual giving day on 4/4. I think the campaign will be a lot more successful if they have a good coach to showcase.

Why have we heard about Pitts offer but not UCONNs or URIs?

I would guess that Hurley wouldn't want to touch that program right now. But who knows, maybe he'd like to battle with his brother in the PAC 12.

A private jet flight today from PIT-Providence. Though the flight history shows that plane making that same flight with regularity at the same time each day over the past 2+ weeks.

So Hurley is visiting Pitt daily? We have no chance.

Another all day phone and laptop free strategy session. The timing of these was ideal. Tomorrow I’ll be home for a snow day just in time for actual news.

Uninformed prediction
Pitt - Miller
UConn - Hurley
URI - Cox

If its true Pitt is still talking to Miller's agent would lead me to believe it's not a done deal with Hurley. Which must be good for us?

It's probably giving for the coach. Likely the last one. I heard it's costing a lot to make him go away.

God the Twitter was with 2 brothers in AZ could have great potential.

Thats so Pitt. They were flying in to Providence to speak with Hurley while he was in Pittsburgh coaching in the tourney.

How does Pitt take Miller given the AZ investigation? What am I missing?

 

[Mokum]

Let's hope Mrs. Hurley is in tears over the idea of moving to Pittsburg, and is stomping her foot and yelling at him right now. Seriously, when you are talking about this much money, you are set for life regardless of whether it is Pitt or Uconn. Hopefully other factors besides money influence his decision.

When you get right down to it schools will spin the investigation thing and hire the best coach. Roy is still at UNC. Unless you are Rick Pitino of course.

65 more pages away. So close .

C'mon Benedict. Make Hurley an offer he can't refuse.

It's time for a major donor shakedown.

I've been reading this thread since it was created....does anyone know the current record for longest BY thread?

The longer this plays out the worse it feels. I had thought Hurley was a lock coming into this week, but following along with every piece of garbage that comes out of twitter I am now paranoid, anxious, and all out worried about the optics and fallout of not landing our first choice. Tennessee football's coaching search was outright embarrassing to that program but ultimately worked with Jeremy Pruitt taking the job...I would hate to see UCONN go through anything like that but if it all ends with a quality coach in Storrs I guess it's all good.

At this point I just hope we have an answer either way today.

I must say I love how the boneyard keeps archives/stats about the longest thread. I feel like I'm participating in history.

What about the non Key tweets in the Conference Realignment...that's over 700 pages?

Happy Hurley day boys. I think something gets announced prior to the first coating of snow.

I was driving to work a few minutes ago, in the right lane on route 8, moving along at a comfortable pace. Then I noticed a URI window sticker in the car in front of me. I made sure to throw on my blinker, pass him, and jump back in the right lane.

I did my part, DB. The baton is passed to you.
