UConn's Dan Hurley makes bizarre portal revelation ahead of Big East Tournament
Today at 10:31 PM
Dan Hurley and the UConn Huskies are getting ready to take part in the Big East Tournament. However, the head coach had stunning comments regarding his team’s status in the transfer portal.
The Huskies ended their regular season on Saturday, blowing out the Seton Hall Pirates 81-50. They finished the regular season 22-9, including a 14-6 showing in Big East Play.
Hurley reflected on the team’s season on an episode of 60 Minutes. Heading into the conference tournament, he specified a percentage of his team that will consider testing the waters in the transfer portal due to NIL interests.
“50 percent of my roster or more is at least considering going in the portal, if not already knows what school that they’re going to,” Hurley said.
“Yeah, and in a couple of those cases, they’ve already talked to the coaching staff at future school and have an idea of what their NIL is going to be there.”
