McDonald's All-American Reaction: Dan Hurley makes his feelings known on 3 UConn commits getting invited to elite game 

Dan Hurley is persistent in finding the best players to recruit to UConn's men's basketball team. Three of the players he has coming in for the 2025 class have received the honor of being McDonald's All-Americans.

Braylon Mullins, Eric Reibe and Darius Adams earned spots on the East roster of the McDonald's All-American Game, making UConn's total number of All-Americans rise to 19 all-time.

UConn uploaded a video of Hurley's weekly press conference to YouTube on Tuesday. One of the questions he answered revolved around the news, and he said it was great to hear of such achievements of his recruits.

"I've kind of learned this from just conversations with people, like the mentors in my life, the Billy Donovans, and the ones that I go to for guidance. Sometimes, when you win a lot, especially the success we've had the last couple of years, you got to keep attracting the right type of people, like your type of people. And I think these guys have tremendous talent, but they're our type of people too," Hurley said.

"It's like they didn't come here just because they thought we had the magic dust that we could sprinkle on them that would get into the NBA and they're going to win a championship. I think they love how we practice. They love how we compete. They know that they're life or death with basketball, that's how we are, so we're excited to get them in here," he added.
