2019 Recruiting: Jaylin Hunter

[DAVEROD]

Would make a nice addition to the program

Jaylin Hunter is East Catholic’s best kept secret, but not for long - Hartford Courant

 

[Wordbomar]

He’s a low major player. Would 100% welcome him as a walk-on who gets spot minutes since he wouldn’t take up a scholly but would not blame him if he wanted to go to another school that he would play more

 

[crazyUCfan23]

If he was a high major player we would already know his name by now

 

[husky429]

He'll be a walk on next year. Info is a few months old, but that was the plan not long ago. He'll also be the best walk-on we've had outside of Drummond, most likely. He's a very, very solid player. I doubt he plays much, but he'll get minutes.

Perhaps an R.J. Evans-type role?

Whoa, that's cool. Since his Dad is a UConn employee, he won't have to pay tuition, right? Pretty good situation.

 

[Storrs South]

His twitter follows give me the impression that he will be a walk-on for UConn next season. It's also his senior year and I see nothing about him taking visits anywhere.

Biggest takeaway from that video was how sweet Creighton Prep's mascot is:

EJ Harrison was a walk on and played significant minutes on 1999 team. Kid was a player and quick as hell.

 

[UconnU]

Started at PG and was 2nd on the team in scoring for OSA one of the better AAU teams in the country. Kid can obviously ball, I bet he competes for minutes.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

The more guards the better. Especially those that don’t take up a scholarship.

?? UConn gives free tuition to students of faculty? Whoa, nice....!

Yeah! My father in-law is a professor at UConn and my wife went for free. I guess I’m not totally sure the same applies for the children of Assistant Men’s Basketball coaches though..

 

[Hoophound]

Not just faculty in the 90’s. All full time employees. Not sure how it is now. I had a couple friends that had parents working there in other capacities and they were tuition free.

 

[upstater]

Whoa, I've actually never heard of any other school that does that. I'm sure there are some.

I believe it covers tuition but not room, board or student fees.

And we’re going to need a PG. We’re replacing a true PG and a combo with a combo and a wing. Our only other true PG on the team AG had not played a full season of basketball in 3 years coming into this season. I actually think Hunter can find minutes year one.

 

[awfuldan]

Yep, this is correct.

Also, my personal example isn’t from the 90’s lol. UConn class of 2014!

The University of Nebraska is in big, big trouble.

 

[UConnDad]

Nice class. My daughter also. Awesome freshman and senior seasons for a hoops fan!

This is actually a very common practice for most Universities. I had a good friend go to QU more or less for free (commuted from home). Its the financial equivalent of winning the lottery.

Wouldn’t the financial equivalent of winning the lottery be...winning the lottery?

 

[TheRealKBuks]

I would say going to a school that cost ~ 50,000/ year X 4 years is the equivalent of winning the lottery for 200,000 and using that money to pay for school

Anyone know how tall Jaylin is?
