2019 Recruiting: Jaylin Hunter

[Chin Diesel]

His kid is there I'm pretty sure. He isn't there for any recruits.

Oh. Is Hurley's kid any good?

Jalen Williams-Simsbury puts up 30 a game in the CCC and all the points are in crunch time. This young man really has game. I know I've seen a few good players in my day.

Be surprising if a coach’s son went elsewhere but what do I know

My brother-in-law was a Professor at Rutgers Camden and his 3 kids went to Rutgers main campus for free.

That's a really solid first offer. Good for him.

BasketballRecruiting.Rivals.com - Hoophall Saturday: Bossi and Evans' Rival Views

WHO WAS THE DAY'S BIGGEST SURPRISE?
Evans' view: It may have been the one guy that I knew least about. Better yet, I know his father greater than I do when speaking on Jaylin Hunter. The son of UConn assistant Kenya Hunter, Jaylin really made a name for himself on Saturday. It is utterly amazing that he has no scholarship offers and limited interest from Fairfield and Old Dominion because if I was a program within the Atlantic 10, I would be knocking on the New England product’s door tomorrow. Hunter finished things with day high honors of 35 points while knocking down five perimeter jumpers. He knows how to run his team, defends the basketball and can really score it. Oh yeah, he has a 4.0 GPA in the classroom and compared to where he was this time last year until now, it is practically day and night. I wouldn’t be surprised to see some of the top area mid-majors jump in and really, if he continues on his current path of progression, for UConn to show some love before things are complete.

With the loss of a scholarship for next year, we need this guy even more than before. Let’s hope it’s a done deal for him to come to UConn.

 

[WrenchFan69]

If he finishes with a 4.0, he'll qualify for a solid merit scholarship for sure. On top of free tuition because Dad is an employee. Could go for damn near free without eating a scholarship in a year we don't have one. Plus he'll be a bonafide non-recruited-player so we wouldn't worry about walk on rules

Eh would it? I really hope he comes here but tons of kids don't want to play for their parents or want to go somewhere they can start or get a ton of minutes

 

[BFieldHusky]

I would put odds at 70/30 that he is coming here next year. This was discussed when Kenya took the job.

Would be a great get. Would allow us to save a scholarship. In the words of Coach Hurley, I am trusting the process.
