Pretty sure Kimani has a job on the Uconn staff principally for stuff like this, like others do on other staffs, including ours. It’s all in the game, to quote another HBO show. Everyone does it, and if you start going through the mental gymnastics of trying to distinguish one instance from another, it becomes silly. Hell our HC got caught doing this as an AC here with TT and Cuse.

Sen Clay Hines: "You think I have time to ask a man why he giving me money? Or where he gets his money from? I'll take any m**********'s money if he givin' it away!"

The conference needs to re-implement the rules it used to have about not being able to transfer to a conference school without a 2 year sit out.

If rich programs can buy the best players from their conference foes, it will destroy the parity that makes teams improve and protects the actual level of competition in conference play.
It will be like a sporting event in which Kim Jong Un is a contestant. Or UConn & St. Johns will be the Harlem Globe Trotters while the rest of the league will be variants of the General.

No, it will just further encourage them to transfer out of conference to the football schools.

Stop. Hurley loves Holloway and Seton Hall but why does that mean he has to let his program miss out because of it?

Hurley will simply say, "Hey, the kid was going to go to St. John's. We stepped in to avoid that."

I wouldn't be shocked if someone from Uconn reached out to Hines before the season ended but there is a difference between him & Kadary, who was a fully developed, all Big East player.

Splitting hairs here IMO. But I get it.

Yup and if you want the Big East to be good, telling the other teams they can't recruit good players from the conference certainly does not help the league overall. Teams in the conference like SHU need to step up and keep their players.

Let them plunder players from other conferences.

Hines to UConn?
