.......great read on Joey and his Fam.....
Joey Calcaterra, having finished his four seasons at San Diego, was just about to sign on with Vanderbilt as a grad transfer last spring.......
"Joey loved the feel of the SEC. He loved where Vanderbilt was," Rich Calcaterra reported. "But then we came up, per Hurley’s request, to come visit (UConn). Joey watched one practice and he realized that he wanted to be in the Big East, he wanted to play for Hurley. He saw the intensity level, met some of the guys, and that kind of sealed the deal." And let's face it, Joey California, the nickname Hurley quickly bestowed upon the 6-foot-3 guard, has a better ring to it than "Joey Vanderbilt" or "Joey Commodore."
"For those who think driving all the way to Storrs for a UConn game is too much of a hassle, Rich Calcaterra might want a word with you.......he has been to all but two of the Huskies' games this season. He's been everywhere, man. In fact, Calcaterra hasn't been home in a couple of months. Part of that is because of Enterprise Events Group, the corporate events company he owns which runs some 200 events a year all over the map, from 45,000-person conventions to 200-person African safaris."
