Not sure what he looks for in players, but he did mention in his press conference that he likes to recruit New England and the Mid-Atlantic and that his coaching staff would reflect that.So is Hurley going to focus his recruiting efforts locally? What does he look for in his recruiting?
I heard his presser comments... but he's not in the A-10 anymore, ( obviously the NE Preps, Tri state etc. are top shelf ) but there is no reason to limit himself, especially with the geography of this conference.So is Hurley going to focus his recruiting efforts locally? What does he look for in his recruiting?
The problem with Ollie bringing in low iQ players, is they never were going to be mentored.
Because the students ran the class.
fair enough. i guess i just didn’t see him in the same light i saw Purvis. But all good points.Basketball IQ means having the intelligence to take good shots. Hamilton was not a good shooter because he had a disturbing habit of fading away from contact and taking off balance fadeaways that were not necessary, instead of working to get open. Smart players move without the ball and get open rather than taking contested shots and fadeaway jumpers. D-Ham was a career 38% FG shooter despite having a very good stroke, what more needs be said?
I also recall a 9 game stretch of AAC games in which he shot less than 20% and it was an embarrassment because you could see he was not taking good shots and not playing smart. This guy was not Craig Austrie who had a similar shooting slump in 2009 because he had to start when Dyson went down and Austrie was not starting calibre or Big East talent. Hamilton had the talent.............he was a good all around player, but the inability to improve his shooting while at UConn was disturbing.
