Hard to believe he wouldn’t have had a role in the new system. Going to be wild trotting out an entirely new roster. At least when Louisville did it a few years ago the incoming coach was bringing a lot of his own guys for some level of cohesion.
NEWS: Caleb Steger (Boston College) plans to enter the transfer portal, he tells @TheAthleticCBB
The former 3⭐ recruit averaged 3.3 points per game. He's a diamond in the rough prospect that will Shine at his next spot
Good point. Jim is one of the greatest offensive minds of the last 50 years but couldn’t overcome institutional problems. If Murray is half the tactician, but with investment for the roster, we’re cooking with gas. Regardless, would be smart to bring Jim back as a consultant.
@FatrickKane You do proxy betting right? Figured I wouldn’t totally call you out since you love a good slang. You’re probably too dumb to money launder but I can run it up the chain if you want.
"Luke we'd love to have you but you can't have any outbursts bringing negative attention to the school"
"Oh and our largest donor wants someone else"
"Oh and that money he is willing to pitch in doesn't apply to you because we don't trust you won't jump ship"
Where do I sign
Sounds like Murray is a total asshole but a great coach (would expect nothing less from the Hurley tree- actually in favor after consecutive limp dick coaches), Larranaga more of a front facing figure to get $ and bring in a good staff
In related news I would kill to know the details of this deal in terms of buyout. I would have to imagine it’s a ridiculous number for the first 12 months. Think there’s a real chance it could be upwards of 8-10MM.
Credit to BC for getting it done. I didn’t think they would get it done, but they did. With zero head coaching experience to dissect I’m onto the roster. Keeps - Payne, Toews. Keep on reduced NIL - Kapke or Hastings. Everybody else can pack their bags.
BREAKING: Boston College is finalizing a deal to hire UConn assistant Luke Murray as its next head coach, sources told me and @PeteThamel. Murray helped build back-to-back national champions at UConn and has established himself as an elite offensive tactician.
You have to assume whatever BC’s “offer” was yesterday has changed or will change today to provide serious protection against Murray leaving in the first 30 days. A job with more NIL, where his parents live, and ability to give him a substantial raise is nearly guaranteed to open
