No wonder Diaco’s regime failed; can’t win breakfast without a healthy serving of Twinkies

some of the Oline could have used the twinkies. no different than the massive amounts of Nutella they suggest

Chief: "I told you guys. See my post of Bunky dancing at a concert for proof."

I just hope we can get Bunkey gainfully employed soon. That last basement he was hanging out in was bleak for someone pushing 30.

Make sure you listen to the song for clues.

We Are Family = Jeff Calhoun
Life in a Northern Town = Denham Brown
Don't Look Back (Boston) = Mike Jarvis
Don't Look Back (Springsteen) = Bob Hurley Sr.
Don't Look Back (Fine Young Cannibals) = @Chief00 was driving so he picked the songs

Promoting freeman has nothing to do with keeping the roster together. I mean, that just doesn't make an sence.

My preference would be to have another well tested recruiter on the staff.*

That said, if the rest of the staff is Cox, Moore, his known DBO, and the video guy....having the last position on the bench be a developmental assistant is a good thing. We know Cox wants an HC job in the future, so it's good to groom somebody in house. And as that poster with AD connects said, Freeman was the hardest working, most well like and competent guy on the staff.

*Sounds like Hurley is going to cast a smaller, but stronger net. Staying local allows him and staff to keep more constant tabs on and contact with guys. Concentrate resources. Need to show face at a game? Drive down the road. So maybe not having a stud recruiter isn't the end of the world.

I think we need one experienced stud recruiter under age 50 for sure

I just heard that Hurley is looking to hire Kimani Young from Minnesota. Idk how true it is but that’s what some NY Ren connects said.

Well done @Candyman34 :

Pretty obviously tailored so that only Chief and Bunky qualify.

Love this

Well done @Candyman34 :

Yeah, Candy all over that one.

Anybody know or heard anything about him?

Doesn't really matter at all but he did one year of prison after getting caught with 96 pounds of marijuana back in 1999.

Another good read on him here: Former UTEP Miner overcomes major setbacks

Should be able to handle our scooter problem.

96 lbs though? That's so much you actually have to laugh.

Our own Mike Hayes only sold one. Wonder what happened to him.

EDIT: Kimani majored in criminal justice too haha

Second is better than the first. No issue on my end. Turned it around and is doing great. BUT damned that’s a lot of weed!

 

[huskymedic]

Both jobs closed just prior to midnight last night... neither is still posted.

The craziest part about that is that he only did one year

Eric Youncofski, if hired by UConn as expected, would be the second person in his family to be on the men's basketball staff at an AAC member. His brother Gregg is the Video, Analytics and Recruiting Coordinator for the Cincinnati Bearcats.

With Mick it should be video and antics.

To piece the Lecque rumor puzzle together even further, this summer Lecque is slated to play with NY Rens rather than his team from last year, Southern Stampede.

Exactly.

Sounds like Eric Youncofski (from URI) and not Kevin Freeman. KFree really going to be an assistant coach.

Tripp Doherty (from URI).

Is that Zal's nephew (guitarist Lovin Spoonful - well, Yanovsky) ??

Two More From URI
As expected, Hurley brought two staffers from Rhode Island, hiring Eric Youncofski as director of basketball operations and Tripp Doherty as director of scouting and video.

Youncofski, 24, from Middletown, N.J., will handle day-to-day operations such as travel arrangements, organizing practices, helping with scouting reports and community projects. He has a degree in public relations from URI in 2015, completing his studies in three years.

Doherty, 25, from Andover, Mass., will oversee film production, film exchanges, breaking down film for scouting and evaluation, and also help organize practices. He has a degree in business administration from Fairfield, and worked with Harvard’s basketball program before joining Hurley at URI last season.

Kevin Freeman, who had been UConn’s director of basketball operations, could be offered another position in the program, but that has not been determined.
