per Marcus:
Following an impressive send-off for his seniors in Sunday’s 107-75 win against Nebraska, coach Richard Pitino made sure to thank co-captain Michael Hurt for the loyalty and leadership he gave to the program.
Hurt, a former Rochester John Marshall standout, is the first high school recruit from Minnesota to play four years under Pitino. He signed in the 2016 class with Hopkins product Amir Coffey, who left early for the NBA last year.
“When we first came here, we set out to get some of the best players in the state,” Pitino told the crowd after the game. “Michael Hurt was one of those. The classiest kid I’ve coached. Does things the right way in the classroom, in the community. He’s a leader and he’s about all the right things.”
