Some Guy: UConn close to signing Hurley

[HawkHusky]

Might be a long couple of days....

Good thing I'll be home all day for Wednesday's Nor'easter.

Refresh. Refresh. Refresh.

Doomed.

Where’s chief? He said this week will be big.

 

[UconnFanNVa]

I'm just glad this is underway. I hate limbo. Either he is in and we have a direction or it's on to looking for another coach. I hope we land him! I'm just glad something us happening.

 

[uchusky32]

Anyone have a Samsung charger. My battery is draining fast from refreshing.

 

[Walker11]

oh no he's not coming here...

Was hoping he was more of a KO fan than UConn fan.

How tf would OZ know? Isn't he just Ollie's personal Uber driver or something?

idk but the only thing he's been right about over the last year was KO getting canned

I believe @superjohn was first with the Hurley talk.

Yes, superjohn was adamant about this for quite some time. I had many doubts, he apparently has many sources. Advantage Superjohn. Kudos.

oh good. we didn't get a next. there's still hope. I assume this is Zionn's way of telling us it's a done deal

I saw his username before I read his post and thought...

 

[intlzncster]

Here's hoping he'll no longer be the angel of death.

I'd like to take a little credit for that one (see post above) hahaha

I've no idea if it annoys him or not.

I’m in an all day “strategy session” with no laptops or phones allowed Tuesday and Wednesday! Can sneak a peak during our short breaks.

I'm out of pocket for basically the entire week. It's going to kill me.

 

[DefCONNOne]

Guess I will have to go back and root for St Johns now.

Well.......bye.

 

[UConnSwag11]

I feel like a Cincy fan at the end of a tournament game, waiting for disaster.

Same. But in their case they already know the outcome

Holy $ - that URI forum is a riot.

All of the boneyard right now...

This is easily the best depiction of the Boneyard I’ve ever seen. Kudos.

FWIW, over on the Pitt board, their most connected poster sent out a message a little while ago saying he has heard Hurley to UCONN is a done deal. Says Hurley always preferred UCONN and essentially asked Pitt for "a blank check." Says there AD is moving onto another candidate.

I’ve also heard from people in the know that Calhoun wanted the job and the administration basically told him to take a lap.

Underreplied to post. Would be interested if anyone else knows anything about this.

I heard we were offering a blank check so I'm hardly surprised if that's the case

wait for chief

 

[presskh]

Congrats on getting Hurley. He has done well at URI. Hopefully, with your hiring of him and our hiring of Penny (I’m still not sure about), our teams will strengthen the conference and be back in the big dance.

 

[Stainmaster]

wait for chief

Get ready for a storm once he sees that.

 

[intlzncster]

I don't know if we're allowed to post a link to another teams forum but I feel bad. also, on the off chance he is not coming here I'll feel like an idiot. you really have to read the last few pages to take it all in, though

I do feel bad for them. It's a tough spot to be in, URI. They find a good coach, and off he goes. Gotta blow.

But I feel worse about our current situation, so I can live with it.

 

[Tenspro2002]

If Xavier has surpassed us in terms of brand and pedigree, then the damage KO did to this program was worse than imagined.

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

Curious how much do we actually pay one of those "coaching search" firms to find a guy about 5o miles away that has been on the boneyard radar for weeks, i'd like a job with them if they are hiring.

 

[intlzncster]

Wanna see this forum make like URI's and only take half the time to reach the fifth stage of grief if that happens?

Most of us are already dead anyway, so it'll probably be, "and that's talking UCONN".

 

[FDNY99]

ESPN has been off on just about every college basketball story they've broken over the last two months. Unless Hurley is telling UConn one thing and then doing another I find that hard to believe. Wouldn't be surprised if that's a leak from the Hurley camp to try and squeeze out a few more dollars

Plus @JMick ...ESPN has everything to lose if he chooses UConn over Pitt...every single one of their guys on Twitter have the same carbon copy line about this
