It will be interesting to track Danny Hurley/UConn over the next few years in comparison to our program. Hurley was mentioned many times on this board as a viable candidate last year, and his willingness to jump to UConn shows he likely would have been interested in us as well. He just hired the Minnesota assistant that is tapped into NYC/NJ AAU much like many on this board had hoped that PE would (in DMV), and is apparently looking at someone to recruit DMV for his last assistant coach hire.
