I think he's the only one. Not sure if Curry did enough to make it. He's 25th (13.2) in scoring in conference games, and just outside the top 25 across the full season. He's 2nd in overall A:TO ratio (2.7), fourth across the season (2.5).

The Frank experiment needs to end.

I liked the hire, I knew the guy was a lunatic, but he had some cache` and I thought that would bring in a better level of recruits. RJ Luis seemed like a program builder kind of player... Frank ran that kid out of town (I have no doubt money had something to do with it too).

The playing field has changed so much in 4 years and Frank IS NOT the guy to deal with this. I do not know who is, but I definitely know who is not.

With the money flying around and no repercussions for changing teams, if you don't like your coach, you can just switch out. I would not be surprised at all if UConn loses half of its roster to the portal and the real reason is Hurley is an asshole. Pitino is gonna lose player to the portal too and they are a top 5 team.... craziness.

This is one more little flame under Ryan Bamford's chair.

If football doesn't show signs of some significant progress in the 2026 season, add me to the list of people who want to see him gone.

On his watch (10 seasons now):
Men's hoop: 137-165 (.454) overall, 64-108 (.372) in league play, never made it out of the QF round in the conf tourney, 0 post-season appearances of any kind.
Football: 21-91 (.188) overall and one of the laughingstocks of FBS
Hockey's 2021 natty is the only thing saving his bacon, but remember that Carvel wanted to come here.
