I like this hire very much. Wagner doesn't get its' share of the NJ and NYC kids. Danny Hurely should change that.

Wagner College will name 37-year-old Danny Hurley as the 17th head coach in Seahawk men’s hoop history, the Advance has learned.
Hurley, a former Rutgers University assistant with deep ties to the high school and college basketball community in the Northeast, has spent the last nine seasons shaping St. Benedict’s Prep in Newark into a national prep school powerhouse.
Hurley’s record with the Grey Bees is 223-21 and his teams have been ranked No. 1 in the nation during three seasons during his nine-year stewardship. St. Benedict’s finished this season 20-1 and ranked by ESPN as the fourth-best high school program in America.
The new Wagner coach is the son of legendary high school coach Bob Hurley, who has won 23 state titles and more than 900 games at St. Anthony HS in Jersey City. Bob Hurley will be announced today in Indianapolis as one of this year’s inductees into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
Danny Hurley — who, according to sources, will be introduced at a Wednesday press conference at Spiro Sports Center — was on his way to join his father in Indianapolis last night.

It is being reported that his brother Bobby will be joining him on the Wagner staff. This is even better news.
