How much will Mitch offer Hurley?

Exactly, that’s the card we need to play. We are the best program stabilized forever basically in the SEC who can afford his deal in perpetuity.
Radio host with 90k followers says his Baylor connection says Drew has already received an offer from Barnhart.
UNLESS. He feels bored with his situation there, feels there is nothing left to prove, and wants to be THE MAN who brought Kentucky back to elite status.
That guy also said Louisville had a good chance to get Drew
Have you seen a Hurley practice?
No way the prima Donna’s in the nba let him run their asses off
I hope he’s dead wrong, I want Hurley.
Maybe he’s got a bad Baylor connection.
Hurley just said no to UK. Hope we all heard his interview. We have all the resources here at uconn, we do both nba draft and win titles. 👍
He won't accept. His speech just now seemed like a shot at UK, lol.
Whatever number the UK accountants say is they max we can spend on a head coach. That's how much he needs to offer.
If you think UConn doesn’t have a “toxic” fanbase I assume you’ve never met one. They’re the biggest assholes outside of only Indiana fans
It sounded like a shot at Cal, and he gave interviews a week ago before the UK job were open that were similar sounding shots to Cal.
Hurley ain’t happening man? A coach ain’t leaving a school that won back-back titles
I can think of one good reason: conference realignment.
It's not going to be good for UConn.
Will he come here? Highly unlikely, but MB owes it to the fans to make a strong as offer and make Hurley say no.
NBA is different than college. Hurley ain’t coming here, he basically took a shot at Kentucky in the post game
I think he wants his pick of recruits, he was making these comments last week too when talking about building rosters in 2024, he’s advertising that he’s NBA + Actually being a good coach.
He’s saying his recruiting pitch to top 10 freshman that are choosing between him and Cal/maybe Scheyer live on national TV as a National Champion. It’s a bold, effective strategy.
He’s trying to be able to reliably land impact freshmen, not taking shots at a program that lost in the first round.
He’s not taking shots at Kentucky, he’s taking shots at coaches who sell the NBA better than he does in recruiting.
Give it up folks lol. I mean seriously... take a step back and ask yourself I just won the ncaa title back to back here at school. Let me just pack up and try to do it somewhere else lol. Heck I haven't even cut nets down. Lol. But a optimistic mind says he might of said that to hint. Hey Kentucky get at me. Bring all the resources you got. Maybe I missing just one here lol
Billy is the only other one to do it. K did in 1991 and 1992. That’s 32 years ago. Donovan’s was in in 2006 and 2007. 17 years ago. Much more modern. I’d say anything after the expansion to 68 is considered the latest era. Granted that was 2011. So really Hurley is the IMLY one to do it since then.
They have a lot more money than people here think they do. They have tons of alumni making a shit ton of money in the Boston and NYC metro areas.
I thin a lot of people forget how ouch money is up there. UConn has quite a few very rich alumni.
But you have to make them match it. Maybe it will end up leaving them less money for NIL. Anything to break up this UConn dynasty.
My thought would be "OK, I've done it here. If I go somewhere where I can get better recruits and have more NIL money, how dominant could we be?"
Until the door is closed I'm going to keep fantasizing about him coming to UK. I bet bulls fans never thought Phil Jackson would leave after two 3 peats.
That's right and the 30 million deficit is after they increased revenues. So there is an opportunity for UK to win a bidding war for Dan H.
If I was UK AD , I would consult with a gentleman named Pat Riley how to develop a strategy to convince Dan .
UConn has 6 titles . Dan is Jersey guy. He is right that in the last 30 years Uconn ran the college basketball ….
Would he leave Uconn for Kentucky ?
When you make the call you need to sell him a dream, a vision, a platform and perhaps have on the call Pat Riley and former NBA players from Uk and some of the guys would deep pockets..
Dan is the hottest coach in college basketball.. If Uk is the best program we should go for the best!

Right so you’re only familiar with the Calipari era, got it. That context explains a lot. Carry on.
No different then Cal's scheme. But alot hypocrisy to say the least. Let's get more 5star freshman lol after winning back to back with a different mindset. Come on my fellow cat fan. He clearly taking a shot or is saying hey Kentucky get at me. Non of this other. Winning back to back, doesn't need to pitch anything to any recruit. Media days are here for Uconn for days. He already said we coming lol.
Then he be closer to John Calipari then he is Dan Hurley lol. He is the most dominant coach in college sports already lol. Like right now. Wakeup!
Anyone else feel like Hurley was kind of planting a flag and kicking dirt on Calipari’s grave with that post-game interview?
