Fordham Grad Transfer Antwoine Anderson Commits to UConn

From the above article:

"The scouting report on Anderson is he is an impact defender who also has a knack for making game-winning shots, which he did several times last season for Fordham. Anderson was valued by UConn for his strong “competitive spirit".

NYC GUARD with an attitude! Great addition with some leadership, defense, ball handler and clutch shooter.

Welcome to Antoine! Having another athletic guard not afraid to play thru contact sounds like a perfect fit for us. We will need some big minutes early while our injured guards/forwards are still coming back from injuries.

Welcome to the Dog Pound, Antwoine!!!

 

[TheChamps990411]

Welcome! Now let's get Diarra and Williams!

I thought we were out on Diarra?

[Kemba429]

Agreed. I think everyone should agree with you lol. But as you said hopefully cobb and carlton can suprise some ppl

Yeahhhh... Wish we had another Shonn Miller fall into our hands.

Are you thinking Diallo? Diarra was just on campus this weekend for an official visit.

Guards got to hit FTs.

He hit just under 70% last year. Good enough. If he improves 5-10 points, we're fine.

Give me all the New York guards.

that is ... Rochester, New York

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Nice! We get a steady, defensively responsible guard for 2017 without hindering an open spot for a '18 guard commit. In general, I've be very happy with the grad transfers over the last few seasons.

 

[Coach J]

How are you not? The entire frontcourt is a mystery.

And has basically no experience playing at the D1 level. With the exception of Cobb's 24 minutes as a freshman at South Carolina.

Aint afraid of winter. +1 resume point.

 

[Coach J]

After reading up on him in several spots he sounds like an experienced Christian Vital just smaller. It's not always good to have too many cooks in the kitchen, this type of addition may do wonders for those around him especially if he's not another guy who "needs" to get his shots. I hope his defensive fire is contagious. This probably works out good for us, Congrats Antwoine and welcome aboard!
Still hope we can snag some front court help, we got manhandled upfront many times last year and we have almost zero experience returning and nobody over 6'9".

Lol

7th borough.

 

[Chely's Home]

Nice add. Seems like more than just a body, and it's just a one yr deal... plus he wants to be a husky, unlike others. Learn from the Diallo debacle with these hs divas

 

[shizzle787]

Seems like a good pick up but I hope this doesn't negatively affect the Tremont Waters thing and we still need big guys.

I love hearing about competitive spirit and toughness. He's great to have as a 5th guard for 1 year. Ideally we can do better for a 4th guard.

Well, we aren't really in an ideal situation right now, are we? Just give this kid a chance man, the film on him gives reason for optimism, just let him get here and show what he has.

 

[6xChamps]

Also --- it seems like Killings did a lot of the heavy lifting here. Good get by him.

Storrs in February is like Rochester in May

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

As long as he accepts more RJ Evans than Sterling Gibbs role he'll be invaluable.

 

[huskyniner]

This video is 1.5 years old, but it's something. Looks like he is a really strong finisher at the rim and has some pretty good bounce. I'll take it!
