Who Is Jalen Gaffney? Get To Know UConn Men's Basketball Newest Recruit

[HooperScooper]

From Dom Amore.

“Jalen Gaffney is a fantastic player. He’s quietly the most athletic kid on our team. He jumps out of the gym. I bet you if he were playing football, he runs a 4.4 40. Shoots the heck out the ball and is a heck of a ballhandler.” — Westtown coach Seth Berger, told the website City Of Basketball Love.

Loved this quote at the end of the article:
What they’re saying: “It’s great, seeing what UConn is bringing to the table with their new start. … I always have talks with [Dan Hurley], on the phone or in person. A great dude, a great coach.” — Akok Akok

My goodness how drastically things have changed with this new staff. Super stoked.

Sometimes, change is good.

Could he fit in at cornerback?

Every day that passes it is clear getting rid of KO was the best thing for this program.

Always good to see follow-up from a staff:

Where are the rest of the trophies? I guess they couldn't fit them all in the picture.

You can say that again. I recently had to replace a key person in my office who had been with us forever and I was really concerned. Turns out the new person is doing the job 3x better and with a smile all the time. Don’t know if Dan is smiling but he already has us doing so.

Gaffney has great edits. Some of the best I've ever seen.

These were 2000 forward at the time it was taken.

Who puts the pictures together for these kids. This looks sharp.

Semi - OT: I'd love to have the blue wolf projected on the top of Gampel for pregame introductions.

Great idea. Hope somebody in events in the athletic dept sees this. Provided it's not cost prohibitive.

Gaffney had several visits lined up, with Xavier, Clemson and St. John’s, but made up his mind Saturday, he said, after he was “blown away” by the coaching staff’s presentation.


I like that

WTH? I couldn't grow a beard till I was 30. First college kids, now HS. I might be still alive when Jr. High kids sport them.

I had a full beard at 14. Before beards were so trendy.

Looks like there will be 10 mil that was ticketed for elsewhere available. That should cover it.

Seems like a nice humble fun loving young man. Good look.

Pretty sure we already have the ability to do it. FWIW, I'd do like it shown in the picture. One big one peering over the side, rather than two or four smaller ones.
