2020 Recruiting: Alan Griffin

[Kangaroo Zay]

Aubrey Griffin’s brother. Would have 2 years of eligibility and can really shoot. 41.6% this past year. Wouldn’t be surprised if we got involved.

 

[MexicoHusky]

Loved his dad. Classy dude. Hard working. Very solid basketball player.

I met dad in the mall in Manchester when he played for the Pride. It was a few years after his Seton Hall days and a year or so before he got picked up in the nba. Nobody recognized him but me. He was with the wife and kids. Not sure which kids. Maybe Alan and/or Aubrey. He was real cool. I told him he was too good for the Pride and he should be in the nba. We chat for a minute and i went on my way. Not sure why, but it was memorable. Adrian just always seemed like a standup guy.

It absolutely doesn't suprise me that he raised such successful children.

 

[mauconnfan]

Shot 48% overall and 41% from 3 this year. 8.5 points and 4.9 boards in just 18 minutes is pretty damn solid. Great genes sister is at UConn...Tell me more!

 

[hardcorehusky]

Isn't younger brother going to Duke?

 

[Dooooooomed]

Yes please. Top of the list.

 

[UconnU]

YESS PLEASE

 

[UconnU]

Yes please. Top of the list.

Tippity top. This kid can straight up ball.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Please, please, and more please.

 

[the Q]

In limited minutes this kid was an offensive monster (over 8 obpm), and wasn’t a sieve defensively (1.1 dbpm).

I’m down.

6th best offensive rating in the entire country. Their fan base is devastated.

I mean I would expect that to go down with more minutes, but it’s still a great piece. And with the way others have developed under Dan Hurley...that’s a real winning piece

Hurley is also a strong believer in pedigree/blood lines. Has said that he wants a big guard who can shoot. This kid is a PERFECT fit for what he’s looking for right now.

 

[Huskyfan4evr]

With his sister at UConn and being a N.Y. kid this could make a lot of sense. He and Nolley would be a great addition to the class.

[king conn]

2nd on the team in plus/ minus according to the Athletic

With Griffin, Nolley, Bouk, Jackson, and Cole we may damn well win the Big East next season. What a prefect off season that’d be

 

[rip7774]

Who else thought of Allen griffin from Syracuse?

 

[pj]

Why did he play only 18 minutes? Great stats.

 

[CL82]

I haven’t seen his film yet, but his sister plays very hard and has a great BB.IQ about rebounding.

 

[Bonk]

very down

 

[husky429]

Big guard. Super effecient. Doesn't turn the ball over. Shoots the bejeezus out of the rock. Sign him up Coach!

 

[superjohn]

He makes a ton of sense for us.

 

[UconnU]

 

[Huskyforlife]

This kid should be our number 1 priority. Take him over everyone else.

 

[UConNick]

"the grind"

Say no more he's Husky bound.

 

[Slick]

This kid should be our number 1 priority. Take him over everyone else.

Excellent offensive player. Defense was supposedly poor which didn’t help him get as much playing time as he wanted.

 

[UConnStats]

Ridiculous efficiency and a great rebounder. I agree, he’d be a slam dunk.

 

[JMick]

With his sister at UConn and being a N.Y. kid this could make a lot of sense. He and Nolley would be a great addition to the class.

Him and Nolley would make us a pre-season top 25 team with a potential top 10 finish. I'm not going to get myself too excited but a man can dream

 

[huskyfan224]

Are they changing the transfer rule from sitting out a year to immediately eligible now?

Not officially yet. But it seems to be most likely this year only
