Cam Spencer 0 Stars out of high school recruitment

Interesting that he played one year for Steve Pikiell in the B1G and then transferred to UConn. That must have been really tough on Pikiell and the fans. That's the college game today I guess.

Happy to have Spencer and he’s been exactly what we need, but he’s athletically limited. He’s gotten stuffed on a drive to the hoop I think in close to every game, and vs a high level team like Texas he will get beat badly in a 1:1 defensive matchup on occasion.

Not surprised he wasn’t ranked highly - you can’t bet on guys like him to reach the 99th percentile of their range of outcomes like he has consistently.

You look at the fact he got a couple of drives to the hole blocked and got beat on D a few times. Others see the improvement in ball movement due to his ability to see the court and see a play ahead. And others see him making a steal off his man on D due to his intelligence on that end knowing he needs to make up for his less than stellar athletic ability. He’s such a good basketball player overall I find it hard to focus on his inabilities.

Huge get!!!

Whether he is athletic or not, does it matter? He makes the team significantly better.

similarly, I've had conversations with people about Samson, where they mention that he only appears to catch lobs, and doesn't have a complete game. Who cares how you get 15 and 7?

People don’t understand what a weapon it is to have a center that runs like Samson. Think Hunter Dickinson will enjoy trying to keep up? If he tries it will hurt him on offense because he will be spent

He’s Ginobli. Righty kiolek. These type of high iq players are offensive connectors.

King of hockey assists. Meaning the pass that leads to the assist. Watch how often he looks to penetrate just with the purpose of drawing d and kicking back out to 3. Defensively always in right place. I think hes our most valuable player, and will continue to be tbh. Hes the Reason ive said will be our best passing team ever. Moving the ball can be contagious

The fact several players have bolted the past two years is odd when you consider how much the players have praised Pikiell.

Reminds me of old man jeff hornacek--time with the Jazz. Always in the right spot, top shelf play making for an off guard and assassin capability.

Completely agree. He's a greyhound. Samson is a gifted athlete. He gets off the floor like he's on a trampoline. He got an offensive rebound last night and was up and dunked while everyone else was still on the floor.

These are things that can not be taught or acquired. God gives them to you. He's a 6 foot, 10 inch, fast twitch athlete. Very rare.
 
Can Cam apply for and receive another year of eligibility? His '20-'21 season was 5 games and 3 starts. Assuming He already applied for a medical redshirt, how does the Covid redshirt incorporate in this scenario? If he didn't apply for a medical RS, then is he currently playing on the Covid-19 automatic waiver?

From his Rutgers profile on his Loyol' MD season:

2020-2021 (Sophomore):
  • Played in the season’s final five games, starting the last three, after missing the first 12 due to injury.
  • Averaged 10.2 points and 4.4 rebounds per game to go with 3.0 assists.

You can only apply one waiver to a season, so he can't apply the Covid year he's currently using and a medical redshirt to the 2020-21 season

Ok, but the question is next season. I'm trying to make sense of the players that have had 6 years of NCAA eligibility.

Can Cam retroactively apply for a Medical RS?

From the interwebs:

MEDICAL HARDSHIP (A.K.A. MEDICAL REDSHIRT)

A student-athlete can apply for a medical hardship waiver, which allows for an extra year of eligibility, if he or she suffers an injury or illness that prevents them from finishing the current season. The injury must occur during the first half of the season, and the player can't have participated in more than three games (or 30 percent of the scheduled games, whichever is greater).

That's what I'm saying, no he cannot. He can't get a Covid waiver for the 2020-21 season (which he is using for this season) and also get a medical redshirt for the 2020-21 season. It's one or the other, and he already used his waiver for that season

I can't be held responsible for anything said during a game, chat room or otherwise. Competitiveness makes me a mean SOB.

He’ll never out-run, out-jump, or out-muscle anybody, but he is so smart and so good at putting himself in positions to make plays

Efficiency means maximizing output while minimizing input. Cam is EFFICIENT. Never a wasted dribble or movement, and a great shooter to go with it

He like an upgraded Joey California!
