Re: The Transfer Carousel - 2018
Sadly (because I have always hated them and the Hurley thing has only further fueled my hatred) I can see uConn getting real good real fast. With all the turmoil to come and the potential rule changes re transfers I can see an elite team of talented players at uConn perhaps as early as November. They could put us and Friartown in the rear view mirror at the top of NE D1 hoops real quick.
It is a worry.....
Don’t know a thing about this player anybody?

Re: The Transfer Carousel - 2018
DH did lose out on Emmitt Matthews Jr. I do not think you can say he did not want that kid either. Going to have to hit the transfer/JUCO market quickly and focus all attention on 2019. If the transfer rule is not changed in the near future UCONN could seriously be staring at a 3 year rebuild. Question is will the fan base be that patient?

I’ve decided to de-commit from UConn and pursue other opportunities for my academic and athletic career.
Kicking uConn in the teeth on a recruit would be sweetness!
Trust me, I would not pass up an honest chance to mock UConn right now, but not sure I'm buying that this was the kid's decision. Will be interesting to see where he ends up.

Re: The Transfer Carousel - 2018
Cox should hire Chillious (strong national recruiting ties) and he could bring one of these players with him?

Re: The Transfer Carousel - 2018
Matthews is another 3* guy, although seems to be more of a fit for Dan's system style-wise. He is from the west coast (likely another Chillious guy), too, so perhaps he really did decide to pursue other options. Maybe Dan would have taken Matthews, maybe not. But either way he is probably not losing sleep over it. It will be interesting to see if he spends energy trying to re-recruit Akinjo, though. He seems to have originally committed specifically to Ollie and didn't wait for the new coach to be named before he requested his release.sevegny7 wrote:DH did lose out on Emmitt Matthews Jr. I do not think you can say he did not want that kid either.

He could have just shot him a text if he wanted to make people upset and never be involved with another kid at Brewster, I suppose.

Re: The Transfer Carousel - 2018
Not exactly sure what cox was making specifically in the last contract enhancements. I have not found that anywhere. I do know that Chillious was at 300 k at UCONN. So it would have to be as good of a salary if not better for him to consider imho.Iggy1979 wrote:What was Cox salary?sevegny7 wrote:Raphael Chillious would command at minimum I would think 300 k.

Re: The Transfer Carousel - 2018
250-300k seems to be at the high end for assistant jobs, even at the P5. I believe I read Michigan's top assistant for Beilein makes 225K, was listed in an article talking about the bonuses the coaches and assistants get for final fours.

Re: The Transfer Carousel - 2018
Yeah but the good news is as a program we can attract higher paid/ more "in demand assistants" with hurley's buyout and decrease in the salary for our head coach. (As long as the funds go into increasing our salary pool which is extremely important to nurture and help develop Cox in his first season or two.)

This is one area where college football's dominance is apparent. The coordinators at major programs can make more than basketball head coaches at respectable schools.

Re: The Transfer Carousel - 2018
Yeah we all read his statement. That’s what started this. What do you think he’s going to say. It’s like how all the candidates for the Pitt job were allowed to remove themselves from consideration before they announced their hire. It’s the class move.

Re: The Transfer Carousel - 2018
TP IMO it really is time to disband the Hurley Defense League.
He’s gone, it’s over and he got outcoached badly in multiple games down the stretch.
We will be ok, it’s alright.

Re: The Transfer Carousel - 2018
I'm not defending anyone. I'm giving my interpretation of what happened. I was never in the defend Hurley no matter what group with you, so maybe that's why I don't suddenly feel the need to try to crush the guy over everything, either. I agree with you, we will be fine. I believed that before he left. I don't have to therefore think he's incompetent. I don't think he would have recruited either of these kids, so it's not hard for me to believe he doesnt want to commit four years of roster spaces to them.

Re: The Transfer Carousel - 2018
The staff is very important. Hurley was able to attract good coaches with not a lot of money but they eventually went to more money. Need to increase the assistants pay now.

Re: The Transfer Carousel - 2018
Totally agreed. Kind of like when Terry Francona left the Sox, he left "my team" to go elsewhere. Just because he went to a weaker team at the moment doesn't mean the guy couldn't raise that franchise up. And look where that team is now.TruePoint wrote:I'm not defending anyone.

Unless Dan has a 30-0 team or something though, I'll always question whether he could have done the same or better here.

Re: The Transfer Carousel - 2018
I don't place much stock in a lot of player ratings. I watched the Friars play a lot this year and cannot figure out how their MAL was a 5 star recruit and Fatts was a 3 star. How can a point guard (MAL) be a 5 star when he cannot make a jump shot (never mind a 3 pointer) and just a little over 50% on free throws. The 5 star ratings of the top 20 or so in the country are probably pretty accurate but some of the other ratings make you wonder how many times the rating agencies have seen the players play--i.e. the revered MAL of hated Friartown.
FTF......

Re: The Transfer Carousel - 2018
Anyone who is smearing DH or discrediting the job he did here either never liked him, is still bitter about how it ended or is dumb. Ramster you are a great poster so giving you benefit of doubt you fall in the 2nd camp. The reason we actually have a strong program, with a top 30 recruiting class we are trying to keep intact, 3 potential all league players returning and a job that is now desirable is bc of Dan. Case closed. Second guessing his coaching strategies or substitution patterns or whatever at this point is just petty and stupid. He’s gone. It’s time to move on, but it’s foolish to not acknowledge his contribution or try to belittle it in any way. Every real fan has some jilted lover feeling, it’s understandable.

Re: The Transfer Carousel - 2018
DH sure did build this program and put us in position for future growth and success
Now it's up to Cox to build off this and maintain and hopefully take us to the next level
I think we as fans have our expectations most feel next years team is bubble NCAAs and the year after definitely Big dance worthy and hopefully 2nd weekend
Now if we fall short of that we have to reassess the situation

Re: The Transfer Carousel - 2018
Jersey City/St. Anthony HS product. I don't follow BU hoops much anymore, which is shameful for a city resident and alum of sorts, but his stats are kind of strange: averaged 13/3 as a sophomore and then down to 9.5/2 as a junior and then down again to 7.5/3 as a senior. Would imagine he'd be in the rotation as a reserve guard, which is a need on the roster with Adams being released from his LOI.
ETA: mystery solved on the stat decline: he only played in two games as a senior. Scored 12 against Northeastern in the opener and then was injured during the next game against Albany and missed the remainder of the season. That is why he even has a year of eligibility left. He also only played 10 games as a junior.

Pretty sure he was recruiting hard by TJ Sorrentine and almost went to Brown. Played for Bob Hurley Sr.
If healthy could help....low risk potential high return. Looks like Wake and St Bona are on him hard.

Sounds a lot like Four.
Gives a much needed shot of experience in the arm. Very intriguing pick for a roster rounder.

Re: The Transfer Carousel - 2018
I think he adds a little more then four did imo. He has a little more length on defense. And also is better ball handler and driving capability and mid range game. Definitely adds the spot up shooting capability forsure from 3. Which is needed to complement the passing abilities and willingness of dowtin and fatts and that inside game.

Re: The Transfer Carousel - 2018
Sorry, I should have been more specific about what I meant.
In my comparison to Four, I was thinking: transfer with 1 year eligibility, big game experience, clutch in traffic.
More than just a role player. Someone like this could create a lot of extra minutes for himself on such a young team.

Re: The Transfer Carousel - 2018
It isn't for me. He was not dismissed and was welcomed back to the team this past season. He's a smart kid (Ivy offers and playing in Patriot league; brother at Georgetown). I don't know what the issue was, but it could be a lot of different things that wouldn't worry me too much. It could be something that would worry me, too, so obviously the coaches would have to do their diligence and make the call. If they decide he's good to go, I'd love to have him. Seems like he'd be a good use of one of the open scholarships from a basketball perspective.
