Some Guy: UConn close to signing Hurley

[8893]

I would put my life savings on the fact that he's not staying at URI.

Superjohn would like to have a word with you.

Today is going to be a long day.

That tweet is from a URI student???

It's a tweet from an adult who basically is just repeating what he heard from the student run news paper...

LoL.

The event that shall not be named...

That said, I don't believe that tweet for a second. As I already said, even if they matched the salary figure (which I doubt), they'd have to commit to doing so much more that it would be crazy.

 

[CL82]

I've never heard the guy speak before.
It took me five minutes to figure out why he sounded familiar.
Guy speaks like Christopher Walken.
Which, you know, it's not. A terrible. Thing.
Wow.

So, if I shake the guys hand he'll be able to see my future? Cool.

AD Dave, it's go time.

 

[bennyMr]

Has anyone started a GoFundMe page for the Hurley to UCONN cause yet?

Might as well lock this one up and start another.

nice

 

[hooskies]

Well this is one way to contradict yourself almost immediately

 

[Huskybass]

The guy at the car wash is out sick today, not a good omen.

I really have no idea. In the past 24 hours I've convinced myself that each of the three scenarios were his most and least likely choice.

Today is going to be a long day.

Maybe they managed to “match” base salary but no way with incentives, assistant coach pool, private planes, stipeneds, 40 mill practice facility, state support, or you know a Blue Blood brand people care about.

 

[ivrytontusker]

He certainly has a sort of name required to be a news reporter. "Stone" anything sounds authoritative.

 

[MattMang23]

Yeah.... no. If it matched us, he would have chosen to stay with the Zags of the East already, assuming everything about that great Quality of Life in Rhode Island is real.

Late night reading the BY.

 

[UConnJim]

Nothing to add, but I just wanted to get in on this thread before it's too late.

We're hearing reports trickle out. I doubt anything is actually new information to the key players. Which means if you were confident Monday/Tuesday, you should probably not really change your thought.

 

[the Q]

I will say, Narragansett and Newport are little pieces of heaven.

Hi

 

[Robertelamin]

Sad

 

[3RingsCT]

I feel like today will play out like a college football recruit choosing a school.....Hurley in front of a table with a URI hat, UCONN hat and Pitt hat.....he will say the decision was extremely difficult, and choose a hat and place it on his head.

That’s what this situation feels like...

 

[Rico444]

I really think that unless Pitt threw a HUGE deal at him, that Hurley is coming here. I can't imagine Benedict isn't going to be able to get to $3+ million and that should be enough based on how much smoke there is around UConn being his preferred choice, all things considered.

EDIT: Dammit, I didn't make it onto page 69.

I actually really do like Providence and Newport. I have fond memories of Misquamicut. The rest of the state...

I slept a whole 8 hours expecting an answer when I wake up.
