Some Guy: UConn close to signing Hurley

[SouthBayHusky]

I’m going to claim Hurley to Uconn. Definitely think he’s battling between us and Rhode Island. I think he didn’t expect Rhode Island to provide the increase in funding to the program that he demanded, and would have provided a convenient justification to the school given his inherent loyalty. But, once the school did capitulate on those demands that convenient excuse went away, and now it’s struggle between us and them.

I think the more he talks it out, he’ll realize just how limited the Atlantic 10 conference will be in terms of reaching the highest levels. Conversely, we have a “brand” which he respects and we have 4 national championships in 20 years. We are a School that can win national championships. University of Rhode Island is not.

At the end of the day, they want comfort of home which I think Rhode Island and Connecticut provide, but only one school has a higher ceiling in terms of investment and being a premier program and with greater budgets and greater national visibility .

There was a reason he wanted us to begin with and he’ll be reminded in the end you gotta go with you first got instinct which was always Connecticut. There you have it, Hurley to Uconn.

You sound angry bro. Breathe.

Yeah, that's the ticket. I'm sitting here laughing at the idiocy of this board and I'm "angry". Yeah, ok. LOL

I'm not sure how much anger you think it takes to use the SHIFT key or the BOLD button, but I'll give you a hint (not much)

 

[UCDaveD]

Game changer.

I'll eat my damn shoe if the state of RI can get out of its own way and actually build a practice facility. donors or not, it ain't happening

Nah, I was trying to be kind. You just sound like a tool, but that's nothing new.

Maybe if they get Curt Schilling involved.

 

[jorge34]

I just can't see why he would ask URI for practice facilities. How does he know he will be there by the time they are done?

It will be a quick build...

The time for infighting will be if Hurley rejects us. Please hold your insults until that happens

I just love the irony of the guy repeatedly calling everyone else nuts when he is doing the exact same thing.

Haha, I was just finished laughing at Borges' moronic "he's a family guy" Tweet when I read that, and started laughing again.

Reason#340234938240938 to doubt this flood of sources: earlier source said they match our deal in terms of total value, but over 10 years instead of 5.

That’s an interesting definition of matching - work twice as many years for the same amount of money. By this logic my comp matches Bill Gates! Whose does yours match?

I'm certifiable right now. Hearing too much conflicting news lol

Hi. I’m just posting so that one day, I can tell my kids I was a part of this thread.

I have been.

It won’t be pretty if he does.


But I think you already know that. ;-)

I think your interpretation of the word "news" is too broad.

I've heard a grand total of 0 news on this subject.

Right. How many posts are there here ? Of those, maybe a half dozen are mine. And based on that, I'm similarly posting 3 or 4 times per page, breathlessly repeating what every fool on Twitter in posting. AKA, definition of "exactly the same"

Why do you care how other people spend their time? Particularly on the internet?

I just don't get it.

 

[UConnSwag11]

over/under 125 pages before the announcement?

That’s actually one of the more useful posts here!

In year 25 of Hurley's $100M guaranteed contract with us?

 

[Phoenixhusky]

Why do things always have such drama and bad news for us? Nothing is ever easy.

There has basically been no news other than Uconn, Pitt and RI have offered Hurley, and that as of Monday, Uconn was confident. Other than that it's been basically nothing from Hurley's camp other than it's a tough decision.
