YES SAMSON

Going to be much better than first team all conference?

Yes better than rj. Rj was a score first and decent distributor. Could not readily get a good shot at end of games. In all fairness he did not have the supporting cast. We are looking more and kemba or shabazz here, not rj 2

Gotta love a 7'2" point guard!

Obviously I hope he turns into kemba or shabazz, but RJ was first team all Big East his senior year, that’s an ideal outcome for a small guard.

Again, nice player with no tournament wins. All big east not my barometer. Again, no knock on rj, just expecting much more. Time will tell but will be surprised if i am wrong. Key to the class.

RJ is the one player that we can't blame for the no tournament wins thing. He was dominant in the 2nd half against NMSU.

I don’t blame him, it was a team effort. Mostly on hurley.

But you are blaming him.

 

[Waquoit]

What an odd duck.

Not 100 percent but he was a major part of team.

Ah yes, comparing him to arguably the two greatest Husky guards of all time. The BY's favorite pastime.

Well spoken young man... Excited about how he progresses from his SR HS season and then up in Storrs CT

 

[dennismenace]

Going to be much better than first team all conference?

Yes. Looks more like Boat-speed. Nothing against RJ. But this guy is bigger and faster and looks ready for prime time. Has a rep for being a winner and all in which sounds like maturity. Boy are we adding guards/wings.

 

[jibsey]

He’s already has a BE body and the kid looks like he’s gonna be a stud for us. Just imagine 15 months from now.

 

[SportsFan88]

Wats with the shots towards RJ? We coulda did a WHOLE lot worse at PG during his years, dude displayed strong leadership and I'll never forget the nova game, coming up from low level D1 and to perform as admirably as he did is something i respect immensely

It's odd alright. He was the one guy who showed in the tournament.

I'm reading the posts and I'm like huh LOL

Once again, i think nowell is going to be a star. That is my point. I did not choose to compare him to rj and said rj was a very good player. I think he will be a far superior player, that simple.

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

Obviously I hope he turns into kemba or shabazz, but RJ was first team all Big East his senior year, that’s an ideal outcome for a small guard.

For context purposes I think 2nd team was Jared Bynum who averaged 12.2 pts and 4 asts. It wasn’t a lot of competition for the 1st team spot.

RJ played hard for us during his time here, but I’d think we’d want to continue to recruit more talented players.

Which one of our past guards would be a favorable comparison?

We have a pretty rich history at the position.

You need to get used to these comparisons. Uconn will be sending a lot of guys to nba in future years. The bar has been raised and more special players will arrive every year. Nowell is one of them.
