I think Hurley will have ceiling at UConn. He’s a great recruiter, he definitely has proven that, I think he gets similar if not a bit higher rated players to UConn than URI, but definitely not top 30 type guys.

F UConn, I’m still blown away Hurley calls that crap hole his “dream job”. It could be a shit show there for the next couple years, possibly beyond, not going to be a fun environment to build a program. Dream crappy, Danny does.
