Rhode Island's Dan Hurley is headed to UConn on a six-year deal, multiple sources told ESPN.
Hurley, 45, will replace Kevin Ollie, who was let go by the Huskies earlier this month after a fourth sub-par season.
Hurley inherited a fledging Rhode Island program six seasons ago and took the Rams to the NCAA tournament in each of the past two years. He has weighed three offers over the past couple days, from UConn and Pittsburgh as well as an increased, long-term offer from Rhode Island.
Ultimately, it was the history in Storrs that proved to be the difference for Hurley.
