We are getting our asses handed to us on the recruiting trail. I think the more of the same approach is killing us. This stuff is all about relationships and we hired Pat who didn't have any and then he hired Orr who didn't have any. We basically have all our eggs in the Kirby basket until Pat can solidify some relationships and that could be two years out. What did you expect? He had to slap together the 2017 class and all things considered, did the best he could. I know Ewing is playing catch up with the 2018 kids, but most are still out there. Too early to jump off the ledge.

Too early to jump off the ledge. I kind of expected a slight changing of the guard. Bringing in some fresh assistants with different networks. I don't see how doing the same thing that brought us the downfall of JTIII is a positive.

Bumpity bump bump for Hurley I’m all for getting back in here but I can’t imagine that he doesn’t follow Hurley wherever he goes

He either follows Hurley to UConn or stays at URI with Cox

UCONN has one roster spot open without Akinjo and they need another guard if Akinjo walks.
Go back through the history in this thread - kid has talked to Ewing before, this is probably worth keeping an eye on. Let's say Hurley keeps Akinjo - does that open up Harris and MD PG Brendan Adams?

Let's say Hurley keeps Akinjo - does that open up Harris and MD PG Brendan Adams? Some of the kids on the roster are gonna leave or get asked to leave.. Ollie had frosh 3 PF's who were very similar, Uconn fans complained about it all season.. Cobb is a headcase and who knows what's up with Gilbert health wise.. Plus as others have stated kids like Harris & Adams are Cox kids too so if he gets the job they may stay @ URI..
