It's a great article. 10/10 would recommend. and since the original tweet didn't show up, here's the relevant clip about that game.

Some guy retweeted that.

Here's a link to the article.

Bob Sr. looked over at the UConn players and said, “I think they need to get bigger. They’re not as physically strong. I thought I’d see some kids thicker.”

Is that Hurley Sr quote out of context or is he just a curmudgeon? Did I read somewhere else on here that Uconn never got one of his players? Did we even get a single NJ recruit over the years?

Not out of context, nor was it a curmudgeonly comment.

He's blunt and a hard , and that's an absolutely accurate assessment of our guys. From his comments, Danny clearly agrees.

Have you seen our players? That comment is 100% accurate.

I had posted this earlier in another thread. As i recall, we were down around 20 at the half. great game

The "down 20" game at Pitt. was four years earlier. DONNY Marshall was suspended for that game due to his "slapping" incident the previous game vs St John's at the HCC.

Of course it’s accurate. Or team flat out sucked this year in every way possible. I just thought it was funny that Hurley Sr felt the need to call it out at his sons press conference accepting the job. Perhaps someone asked him a specific question about the team, I don’t know.

In case anybody cares, UConn Men's Lacrosse coincidentally enough beat URI 16-4 on March 10, and today, they destroyed Pitt today 12-2.

Uh, okay. I think it's safe to assume somebody asked him his thoughts on the team/program, how else would they get a quote from him?

Huskies ranked 18 in MCLA Poll.

I'm imaging he just looked them all up and down and made the comment unprovoked and a reporter just overheard him.

I'm joking, of course, but it would have been funny if that was the case

It's hard work not being a smart- sometimes. How do people usually end up being quoted in a newspaper?

 

[crazyUCfan23]

Huskies ranked 18 in MCLA Poll.

And they will rise when the new poll comes out next week as they also beat Liberty who was ranked 10th I believe.

That's pretty cool. For a fledgling program, they sure are on the come. Located in one of the better recruiting locations in the country, they could perenially have something.

Somebody asked "whats the source?" to a direct player quote passed along by a beat writer the other day. You're fine.

... 11th but UConn needs to handle Central Michigan tomorrow on tired legs first.

Thanks for looking Liberty's ranking up, i was too lazy lol but hopefully they were able to rest some starters today. This team appears to be one of, if not, the most talented teams they have ever had. We'll really be able to tell when they place BC in a few weeks. Have only ever beat BC once, back in 2012.

Have the mods made it so every time some one types Some guy it autocorrects to ‘Some Guy’?

Edit - not yet...

Yep!

Must have not seen Cobb.

You'd have to be blind not to make that observation.

I'm laughing so hard I may drown in my own tears.

 

[Mokum]

Meh, i live off of the stuff. Its bad, but its like taking alcohol away from someone who drinks a gallon of vodka a day. If you take my caffeine away I'll die. I've built up a tolerance, so it has little affect on me.. Just keeps the blood flowing through my veins.

Just say no to drugs kids.

What do you think caffiene is, a vitamin?

I was at that game. My 5 YO daughter was leading UConn years on my shoulders.

We haven't seen a fast break executed like this in a long time, but in watching URI they really get out and pass the ball well on the break.

 

[Huskybass]

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

So you are saying that you are a Kevin Ollie fan and not really a UConn fan?

I would think that UConn getting a coach who has built 2 other programs up considerably would be welcome news.
