Cam is a legend

[superjohn]

He led us in rebounding. He also set the tone.

He's in the pantheon of Huskies.

 

[Kembafan]

Started the season thinking he’s just a 3pt sniper. But he’s sooo much more. Dudes a bucket

 

[Geew1992]

One of the most underrated players in ball

 

[MTBingNinja]

Proof of the American Dream can be accomplished

 

[Deepster]

My daughter knows a few students who are “around” the team. During the summer practices, one of them told her “He’s way better than Joey C” and I said no way.

No offense to California because I loved him too but the kid was right on.

Remember "Dagger" Spenser's last second 2 beat the then 13-0, No. 1 rated Perdue last year.
He started to receive some attention then and finally on the portal DH was able to beam him up.
His versatility is beyond my expectations.
Has a great handle, can rebound, makes great defensive plays when momentum is heading in the opposite direction, clutch shooter, great inside game among the trees, can dish, has a high BB IQ and his intensity is a perfect expression of his coach.
He is a gift!

 

[DC-Husky]

Anybody else worry that Cam was going to pull his arm out of the socket every time he did one of these?! The number of times this season he just demoralized the opponent and forced a timeout- just wow. Going to miss this all time Husky.

 

[yuckformak]

Dude is a gamer. One of my favorites. He fits in so well here that I want him back on the bench as a coach.

 

[cohenzone]

If you're a talented player who watched tonight's game with Spencer and Newton and you don't want to portal over to UConn, I don't know what to tell you.

But yeah. Cam is awesome. Love the intensity and playmaking that he brings to the team.

Having 2 players that crafty on the same team is unreal. Total understanding of what is possible, especially in traffic.

I think Cam has played his way into the draft. Probably not round 1 but I think he can make a team as rookie. And I’ll be rooting for him wherever he lands

lol...this tweet...

 

[Improviser]

Hope we see him in the NBA next year.

 

[SLY63]

What a journey, from Rutgers to National Champs in less than 1 year

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Not long after the game last night I starting thinking that Karaban may be the best "glue guy" we've ever had (player who does the little things that often go unnoticed, things that don't make it to the stat sheet), but quickly realized, Cam & Castles for one yer and Newton for two years can give him a good run for his money on this.

What this group of guys gave us needs to be fully appreciated. We may not see this again.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

the saddest part of this season is the ncaa didn't give him another year of eligibility.

Very low chance but if Domask from Illinois successfully sues the NCAA I think Spencer may have a shot at it too. That being said, he should go out on top.

 

[Hunt for 7]

Earlier this year there was a thread about the most impactful one year player at UConn. At that point there was comparison to Henefeld. At that point I believe the general consensus that he and Cam were close. They are no longer close all due respect to Nadav. Cam is now that guy and it is going to be tough to overtake him. But we are UConn……..

 

[BlueandOG]

Definitely on my Mt. Rushmore of UCONN hoops greats.

 

[FreeKlaiber]

Mean Ginobli... this offense, which is predicated on high IQ, I dont think wouldve been possible without Cam. Full Stop.

plus

ONIONS for days

 

[Big Daddy]

I would like to assume that UConn has lawyers that can assist Cam in another year of eligibility. While he was denied initially, there is a valid case and should be appealed.

 

[Exit 4]

Cannot express how much I love this man. Seemed fitting that they showed his patented air-punch two times during one shining moment.

Can’t remember a more crafty Husky.

Looking forward to Danny’s next portal super star on the road to seven!

Is he the next Danny Hurley?!?!?!? Probably - all the signs are there.

I was part of that conversation and agree. There is no longer a comparison.

I was part of that conversation and agree. There is no longer a comparison.

I vehemently defended Nadav as the best one year guy in that thread.

And here I am now, the creator of this thread. #killa

 

[BigTenFan]

Spencer is definitely a stud. What a great win for UConn. Going from Rutgers to UConn and getting a ring- doesn't get any better than that!

I compared Cam's game to Nadav's before the season started back in June in a thread I started called "High BB IQ". People scoffed when I said this team had 4 super BBall IQ players, & I left AJax off the list (not a slight on him.) I wasn't even including TNewton in my list, & he's proven me wrong.

Cam had same effect on team that Nadav did too. The hockey assist, the passing lanes, the heady game, the straw that stirs the drink. You could see it in his rutgers career, and watching his brother play in his year at Northwestern , that he (they) had that bball iq intangible that most just DON'T have. Can't be taught. His competitiveness was a welcome surprise on top. "All Day" he yells to crowd after big 3 to start game. Scores 7 of first 11, giving assist to Clingan for other 2. Onions
