RE: March Madness 2024 Thread
I saw this posted on a UK site but it was from an interview with Dan Hurley…


During an interview with CBS This Morning, Hurley explained why he has passed up on what he calls “neon talent”. “We pass on neon talent to get more of a winning player, Hurley said. “You prioritize winning here as a head coach or you won’t be here too long.

We’ve passed on players with incredible measurable height and athleticism off the charts to bring somebody in here that’s going to give us a better chance to win.” Hurley has led the Husky’s to back-to-back national title games.


and if you look at their starting 5
#2 Newton transferred in from ECU
#12 Spencer was at Loyola MD & Rutgers
#11 Karaban soph signed out of HS with UCONN
#32 Clingan soph signed out of HS with UCONN
#5 Castle freshman signed out of HS with UCONN

Karaban, Clingan & Castle were all top 100 kids but they were supplemented with experienced guards who came in and just wanted to win.

Highly doubtful . If Hurley is a hummer then Penny is a spitter.

LOL
Maybe Penny will surprise us next year but ain’t holding out hope
