With this addition, I would say Buffalo has the clear-cut best class in the MAC right now. Hurley reminds me of Fleck at WMU in football... Hated by a lot in the conference, including many on his own online fanbase.... Not a great first season. Very strong first recruiting class.
I think Hurley will have success at Buffalo, possibly even as quick as next year.
I am bummed we lost a quality player like Wigginton but I am not concerned about this recruiting class. That is what happens with coaching changes. We will get some players. Would surprise me if we still don't easily finish with a top class in the MAC... Hopefully THE top class but that'll be tough at this point.
Agree about the class, 2 top 35 guards by one service. Think about having a big name player (not coaching big name) with a well known past, all kind of connections with one of the top 2-3 programs in the country, young, energetic, in a weak conference. I'm guessing Hurley will be very successful and move up quickly. If they don't do better than us next year, I would be very surprised.
