Despite its success the past 26 years UConn is not a better program than Kentucky.  Honestly, outside the Northeast most people think of UConn similarly to Gonzaga or Creighton who have always been good but became more relevant in past 20 years or so.  Since I go back to the Thompson, McKay days I know better. That said, Kentucky's program is internationally known as always one of the best programs in the country. 
Someone said they didn't think Hurley would go to UK because "he's a northeastern guy."  So were Pitino and Calipari.
At UConn Hurley will never be more than the "King of Connecticut."  Perhaps that's enough for him.  What I do know is not to believe anything he said right after winning the title.  The media will claim they "had to ask the question."  I say BS.  In fact, I would say it is irresponsible and shock journalism to ask a question you already know the answer to, or that you know they can't answer,  just for the shock value of putting someone on the spot.
Maybe he'll stay.  And maybe the millions to him and more millions of NIL money will be too much to say no to.  My guess is he'll be named the next UK coach before the end of the week.  Though he is a bit of a putz so I may end up egg on my face.
