Re: Head coach speculation for 2022-23

I don’t think it’s kosher for an AD to fly to an NCAA site and hover around potential candidates or try to meet with them immediately after a Loss or between wins. So IMO Thorr being in Buffalo likely has little to do with our search. I would think those conversations are much less obvious and held...

Re: Mitchell Twins

They are symbolic of what has gone wrong in the Cox era. No discipline. Feel too often like we are watching an AAU team. Difficult to root for (complaining to the refs, not getting up fast off the floor, celebrating a dunk down 20 points) No improvement in fundamentals like free throws Repeated sill...

Re: URI Game Replays

I took a few minutes to watch some of the Temple/URI game from 1987 at Keaney Gym. It reminded me of something i had forgotten. There was no video scoreboard for pre-game team introductions years ago. The opposing team was introduced first and a tradition at Keaney was when the 2nd or 3rd opposing t...

Re: '18 NY G - Omar Silverio

Jxcru
Let’s say we don’t take another guard.....

Then let’s say that Thompson gets hurt again. You’ll be be left with three guards on the team total.

How’s that going to work out?

Re: The Coaching Carousel

Dre, You alluded Hurley to Uconn was in the works for a while (before the season was close to ending). Was that info coming from Moore or Cox during the season? You can spill the beans now. Of course I won't give up the source (though it was neither of those 2), but this was allegedly in the works ...

Re: The Coaching Carousel

If he goes to uconn we will have to wonder if Moore was in his ear about it. I doubt Moore minds commuting to Storrs from his home in tolland (5 minutes away) instead of the hour commute to Kingston. Uconn fans think there have been ‘back channels’ on this deal for months. Would not have been hard f...

Re: The Coaching Carousel

The uconn board is convinced Hurley is going there. That he wants to stay in New England, likes their practice facilities and there already have been ‘back channel’ messages. Hope they are wrong. Actually wonder if Tom Moore hurts us in keeping Hurley since He probably has nothing but positive thing...
