00:00All-time is head coaching record 292 163 a 64 winning percentage two-time defending a national champ. Start over coach.
00:14Sorry, muted myself there. To me, if he comes back, they're a top ten team in the country. They're not top five, they're not winning a national championship.
00:24If he were to leave, remember folks, there's an immediate, even though there's a transfer portal, if there's a change in coach, you have a 30-day window.
00:33I think it's 30 days. I expect a bunch of kids probably to leave or try to get poached by other schools. It's dirty. It happens all the time.
00:42They'll do it. They'll go to the AAU handler. They'll go to the high school coach, the trainer. I've been a part of it when people come to me.
00:48Kids have gone to the portal and asked me my thoughts. So to me, I really do think they are a team that's going to fall back and probably be one of the top 25 teams.
01:01But it also depends on if he goes, who do you go with? Do you go to coach Young? Not me. Come on Young, who's the top assistant and a fabulous recruiter.
01:10Do they give him the job, elevate him? Or do you go get someone else? Do you try and go get a guy like a Steve Peichel from Rutgers who is now just sort of getting big recruits,
01:19who graduated from UConn and played for Jimmy Calhoun? Do you go and get a Shaheen Holloway? Do you go and get an Ed Cooley?
01:29Do you go and get a named guy to try and come up there and win a national championship because of the tradition that's at UConn?
01:37It's a tough spot for him because it's so late in the game, so late in the game, that if he takes the job, you're screwed probably for this year and probably next year
01:51because of the fact that the recruiting class, even for 2025, is so far down the line. Now you're looking at 26 in regards to recruits.
02:00So I think they kind of fall off the cliff a little bit if Dan Hurley leaves.
