UConn officially hires Rehfeldt as S&C coach

I mentioned this in another thread, but it's cool that Cronin personally recommended Rehfeldt to Hurley. Cincy has always been a physical team, so snaring their S/C coach is a big deal.

Some recent success stories: Tre Scott was recruited at 6'7 195 and graduated 6'8 225. He was a BEAST under the boards. Same can be said for Nysier Brooks, who was 6'9 200 when recruited by is now 6'11 240 with a heck of a motor. Both players never had major injury issues in their college careers.

Did cronin leave Cincy on good terms, or was this a middle finger on the way out move? @kobe?

Nysier Brooks was the first guy I thought of when I heard about the hire...dude became a beast at Cincy.

Sounds like we landed a pretty capable guy. If we can get a team with Cinci level toughness and strength, plus UConn level skills, that is a huge win. Sorry to hear that Sal has evidently not aligned with the UConn culture.

rehfeldt was hired by mick and he gave him a lot of power on how he wanted to run his S&C program. so not surprised that he'd recommend him to hurley. but maybe lil micky wanted to stick it to us, who knows. the dude is totally delusional.

dont think there was any issue with brannen but maybe he was looking to get out any way . this was kinda an odd move.

very good S&C coach. will be a perfect fit for hurley/mick ball. glad i dont have to consistently watch that garbage anymore.

Let's sign a home and home with UCLA as a way of saying thanks.

Why do you think because a player is black, he necessarily agrees with the Black Lives Matter platform? If white people can have various views, why can’t black people too? You are falling into if you don’t support a certain candidate, then you ain’t black trap. Let individual black people, decide for thenselves how they want to think.
I can’t comment on Sal’s situation because I don’t know all the details, so my comments above are general observations.

You're not as in tune with young black basketball players as you think you are if you're asking this question.

If all the players agree or not, the TEAM took a position of solidarity as it relates to the issue. Specifically, socially thru their various platforms. Even if they disagree behind closed doors, their approach publicly was unified. To be the one vocal contradiction is/was a bad look for Sal. Regardless if it contributed to him not being here

The team's stance wasn't even a very politically controversial one. It was basically along the lines of BLM, basketball is diverse, we are working towards being better individually and as a team. Nothing about defunding police, reparations, etc. Pretty basic stuff...

The fact that Sal couldn't even get on board with THAT is indicative of his character. Much better to move on.

And Chief--the players on our team are pro BLM. All of them. Literally Every. Single. One. As they should be.

I randomly heard this story come up in Cincinnati again because the new S&C coach’s significant other is a woman from the west side of Cincy who did sports for local Channel 5 here. Do any Connecticut TV stations need a new sports reporter?
 
Just hoping all the bulked up weightlifting shots don't come at the expense of agility and flexibility.

Cincy had a great rep for being the best looking team to not make second weekends of NCAA.

True, and these muscles certainly weren’t developed in the last 2 weeks alone.
 
If Bouk looks like that I can only imagine what Andre Jackson looks like. I'm picturing some Jerome Lane thunder dunks. I guess we will be able to play Jackson at the 4 on occasion.
