Some Guy: UConn close to signing Hurley

[UConnNick]

Pages or minutes?

Is that a distinction with any difference? At peak activity times, one page may equal one minute.

 

[VAHuskyFan]

This guy is all of us right now.

It's looking like we may need help now from HuskyNationers further west, western Canadian provinces (B.C., Yukon), Alaska, Hawai'i, the South Pacific islands, and on across the International Date Line. Check in, if you please.

FWIW, a reliable source told me Pitt is using a search firm, and there's been mutual interest reported in the local Tucson media between Miller and Pitt. Miller may still be raw about the suspension based on the ESPN report. I think both Miller and Arizona may be very agreeable to parting company.

Checking in on Hurley Watch 2018.

^agreed. With the bad press, losing their whole incoming class, underperforming, ect it could be good for both parties.

UA could be a great landing spot for musselman

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).

Miller’s agent would be the main contact. It doesn’t really matter where he is.

Good morning. Up and at ‘em! Starting my day like the past two — checking this thread. It should be an interesting snow day.

 

[UConnMike04]

Just woke up, is it bad that I just read from where I left off when I went to bed (page 60) before I even got up to piss?

Anyways, off to the can...

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 ?

 

[auggie22]

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.

 

[UConnSwag11]

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.

Contour Aviation (LF) #1610 ✈ 20-Mar-2018 ✈ KPIT - KPVD ✈ FlightAware

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.

 

[HuskyHawk]

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

 

[Huskyfan4evr]

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.

 

[Bryan Lord]

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.

Looks like this thread holds the record: 2017 Recruiting: - Hamidou Diallo Graduates
