I think Adama and Jackson have higher odds of being drafted than Hawkins, especially Jackson.
Hawkins' handle is really poor. He is only shooting 34% from the field and he has had layup attempts where he has completely missed the rim. Yes he has great shooting form, and he will likely become...
Can't believe you think putting Hawkins in for Andre is a good idea. A comparison between the two:
Athleticism: AJ > Hawkins
Defense: AJ > Hawkins
Rebounding: AJ > Hawkins
Handle: AJ > Hawkins
Passing: AJ > Hawkins
3 pt shooting %: AJ (46.9%) > Hawkins (32.1%)
FG %: AJ (42.9%) > Hawkins...
UConn is not a very good defensive rebounding team, even while having good rebounders such as Jackson, Martin & Sanogo. This would indicate that teams are sending guys to hit the offensive glass against UConn.
UConn not playing an uptempo offense or generating more offense in transition has...
1) The pass to Samson which led to a dunk, in which he was directing Samson to make a cut to the rim as he was passing;
2) the great bounce pass to Akok who was underneath the hoop & should have had an easy dunk but bobbled the pass;
3) the deep 3;
4) not taking any bad shots; and
5) not...

You do realize Sool didn’t get any playing time against the quality opponents UConn has played so far?
The fairly simple notion that Sool appears ready for more playing time has triggered some folks, as they perceive it as a threat to Gaffney.
Can't point to much on the box score for Diggins, but I came away impressed by his play. He didn't play hurried or out of control. Was calm, showed he has good handle and court vision. In 12 minutes he didn't commit a turnover and I thought his defense was pretty decent. He also knocked down...
Andre makes a huge impact on the glass and on defense. His passing and ability to push the tempo after grabbing a board are valuable assets too. He is also a very good free throw shooter.
As the season goes on, he will become more comfortable with his 3 pointer and will improve his overall...
Very good post Superjohn... absolutely agree on everything you said. I thought with having athletic wings that can handle the ball (Martin, Ajax, Hawkins) UConn would be able to rip apart a press, but today was eye-opening how much the press and ball pressure exposed UConn... hopefully coaching...
This is a spot-on analysis. I agree that his shot is better than his stats show. Gaffney had the lowest FG% on the team (yes lower than Alterique's) and had the 2nd lowest 3 pt FG%. However when he has his feet set he shoots it better.
All of our recent great PGs Kemba, Bazz, Boat, and Jalen...
Do you genuinely believe Akok has not earned that already? Hurley said Akok is the best player on the team. Akok also has the best attitude I’ve seen from a UConn player ever. Runs to pick his teammates off the floor or simply to give them high 5s. What are you talking about?
He's been a legit all-star for several years now, but I expect him to take his game up another level. He has been an amazing NBA player and ambassador for UConn.
@JimHurley literally said if UK offers then Cliff will go to UK over UConn... and of course this would imply that if offered UK is in the lead. The fact he hasn't been offered by UK also means he is not UK's "top choice"...
You literally added no new info but at the same time tried to "correct"...
In addition to Javonte Brown we will also have Cardwell. Both are centers, Brown is 2021 recruit but will likely reclass to 2020. Who else will be attending besides Andre Jackson?
It’s a really good sign when Recruits use their OVs to visit UConn during First Night. I’m glad to see we are in...
I’m bumping this thread because I’m sure there will be Syracuse fans coming to the Boneyard to see how we are reacting to Kadary committing to Syracuse.
Hopefully they can deduct from the above videos that it’s nothing but smiles from UConn fans :)
I would love to have Cam Thomas come to UConn, but we will be just fine either way.
Hurley has brought in 4 studs (Bouknight, Akok, Gaffney, & Cole) in his first full year of recruiting. I am confident Hurley will continue to bring talent to Storrs on a yearly basis, and I am even more...
He still mentioned UConn, but clearly we are on the outside looking in. He makes it pretty clear that Memphis is doing a really good job recruiting him.
Our best chance is if he doesn’t reclassify and stays in 2021, and that we have a good year this year and an even better year next year to...
I think CV will start the season as a starter at the 2 spot, but as the season progresses, if Bouknight plays at the level we expect him to, Bouknight will likely end up starting at the 2. If everyone is healthy, the lineup by March will likely be:
1) Alterique
2) Bouknight
3) Polley
4) Akok
5)...
Terrence says UConn is one of the schools recruiting him the hardest. He said he will visit UConn soon.
Looks like Memphis is in the lead for this recruitment, but I would think UConn going to Big East has closed the gap.
Also I hope he does reclassify to 2020 because the odds of Duke offering...
