Some Guy: UConn close to signing Hurley

[Blue Huskie]

PITTis offering 1 Mil more than us and he's coming here? You'll forgive me if I don't believe any of this until I see an "Official" announcement.

 

[LIuconn]

Didn't think we had many high profile donors .Cautiously optimistic

Where do you see Pitt offering over $4M?

Offer from UConn is $3.1M/year, Pitt didn't go $4.1M.

I think we had more fun with this thread than we had watching this team the past two years.

The Rhode Island logo has a C inside it and an outline of the state of Connecticut, rotated 90 degrees.

 

[Phoenixhusky]

Is this real?

I've been following along since page one of this thread, but I refused to post out of respect for the mojo. It has been a wild, beautiful, and disturbing journey. Thank you to those that kept this thread funny and ocasionally informative over the past 48+ hours!!!! We are back!

I feel like Uconn won at something. I forgot what that felt like. It feels good

Actually I just watched the TV News and they said PITT offered 3 Mil and that it was 1 Mil more than UCONN. Is their information that old? I guess that shouldn't surprise me. These local TV stations want to put all their money and resources into Weather (And they're doing it SO well )

 

[krinklecut]

It's been an honor being here with you all. Can we turn this thread into a general BS thread for us to continue hanging out?

From the A Dime back piece --

UConn is expected to name Rhode Island’s Dan Hurley as its next head coach, sources tell A Dime Back. The contract is rumored to pay $3.1 million annually (a figure we could not confirm), a significant raise from Hurley’s current $1.1 million salary at URI, and was reportedly finalized after a late push by several high profile UConn donors.

that's literally the same things I heard

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

I didn't see the news until I sat down on the toilet and pulled my phone out.

This is the most satisfying bowel movement I have ever bestowed. And it's not over yet.

 

[SL Husky]

Is it happening?

 

[formerlurker]

Let’s wait for it to hit the AP before we fold up shop.

 

[uconnphil2016]

Been nice spending the past couple days with you all. Heading to bed. Let's keep this thread rolling

 

[DSquiz]

I really want A Dime Back to be right and love their site and podcast but do we have any other confirmation? I don’t want to jinx it and do a victory shot (as is the UConn way) prematurely.

I badly want to sleep too. But can't. Is it the caffene or the news?

 

[Austin316]

the boneyard is on vacation in this thread

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

Is this real?

By all accounts, yes.

 

[uconnbill]

This is going to happen, I can feel it, or is that the lack of sleep lately....Who knows

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Awesome! I'm heading to bed will catch up on the celebrations in the AM!

I don't think a legitimate news source had the actual offers out there, it was mostly internet speculation. Somebody had Pitt with 4 million earlier today, who really knows.

 

[nomar]

speaking of my awesome wife, TMI, and fleshlights, she bought me one as a random present last year. Game changer.

She must really like doing it with you

 

[Penfield]

If the Danny Hurley to UConn news breaks but UConn Nation is sleeping... I don't know where this is going

 

[Phoenixhusky]

All these fake twitters have me in a non trusting mood.

 

[Utah Top Dog]

So I guess URI isn't the "Gonzaga" of the East...typical underachievers! UCONN 4 - Zags 0

 

[UCDaveD]

DON'T LET OFF THE GAS UNTIL IT'S OFFICIAL. WE CAN'T BE THE REASON THIS FALLS APART. WE'VE COME TOO FAR!

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

ADB is likely more in touch with sources inside the UConn AD who aren't 100% positive rock solid sources that a print journalist/Rothstein-type can roll with publicly. Those folks may have the same info but are waiting for the golden source to confirm.
