That said he could easily project from Buffalo as well so he might just want to stay there. It's interesting that Bobby didn't follow the Dawkins-Collins-Wojo-Capel path of assisting under Coach K and has pretty much struck out on his own (albeit with an assist from his brother for whom he served as an assistant). As for Danny Hurley, my guess is that he's keeping his eye on what happens at Seton Hall as IIRC it's his alma mater.
Hurley might do better at Fordham with his local connections. He could probably get a steady pipeline of NJ and NYC talent to stick around and be successfully at that level. I'm guessing he didn't have to go the Coach K assistant route because he had plenty of connections through his family. However, DePaul could eventually be a final destination job if he's successful, while Fordham probably is not.
