Per Jon Rothstein's report, Rhode Island coach Danny Hurley has removed himself from consideration for the Rutgers men's basketball job. With a likely Top 25 team returning next season at Rhode Island, it seems the pull to come home was not enough. Mike Lonergan would appear to be the top candidate left of those interviewed so far by Rutgers AD Pat Hobbs. Hurley was considered the top target for the job from day one, so this is disappointing to say the least.
