Thanks much - great job

 

[WinnersCircle]

Thanks for doing stuff like this, really love the content. One question I have is what does the next few years of Hurley's plan look like? We know these first 3 years have gone to plan, but where does he want to go now?

 

[Rico444]

These are great, thanks for doing this!

My question for the Horde: Have any of you gotten any sense from discussions with Hurley on whether or not he's targeting a specific skillset with his open scholarships this offseason? Rebounding, defense, shooting (let's hope!) etc.

 

[rip7774]

Yes, these are great!

What do they think he plans to do to address two of our consistent struggles in 2020-21?

1) Offensive struggles - tempo getting into offense was sometimes very slow (and lack of quality shooters returning)
2) We were like 0-7 against teams that play 5 out (or have 4s and sometimes 5s that can drive to the hoop? How to be better in that area?

Great stuff in here, guys! Keep sending questions my way!

Great stuff in here, guys! Keep sending questions my way!

Hurley already mentioned that decisions have not been made, but can you ask what they think about Polley/Whaley staying? And maybe discuss the impact of them coming back next year vs leaving.

Also, it would be nice to hear about the impact they think the 3 incoming freshman will have next year. Roles they will play/how much they will play/impact on the season/really any info about Rahsool, Hawkins, &Samson.

I didn't think I was going to have any interest watching these since it seems like everyone is trying to start a podcast nowadays, but I have actually found them really enjoyable. Definitely appreciate the effort that goes into these and the end product.

 

[gwhuskyfan]

Bumping this as the live stream is tonight. Feel free to throw any other questions in here!

 

[rip7774]

What about asking him to elaborate on his sort of disdain for transfers, when the Gonzagas and other top programs do it regularly to supplement the roster esp in light of transfer rule/player movement of 2021.

 

[Ricker]

Ask these guys if they develop their own contacts and network actively with AAU, High School coaches, and D1 assistant coaches, or, do they just rely on sources close to UConn on what they report about UConn recruiting and recruit interest.

Gonna try to check this out while enjoying a sub from Jersey Mike's. Today they donate 100% of sales to local charities.

Ask what everyone wants to know, how the staff completes the roster for next year. Specifically ask about Kadary/other top transfers and Whaley & Polley.

 

[gwhuskyfan]

5 minute warning!

 

[gwhuskyfan]

Hope you guys enjoyed! Replay can be found;

That Davidson kid would've been a huge get for us. We desperately need a shooter or three.

 

[rollskies]

Great listen! Thanks for doing this.
