Cam Spencer Commits to UConn

[husky429]

Exactly the piece we needed. His spacing will provide a ton of spacing for our guys to put pressure on the rim. Also allows Castle to guard the 3 and play PG on offense.

13/4/3 on 43% from deep in the B10 is really good. Shoots well, passes well, and is pretty crafty at the rim. Does a great job getting hands on the ball on defense and being a pest.

Should be a top-5 team.

Dan gets his man. (and staff, too, but didn't want to disrupt the rhyme).

Some stats from the other thread:
PORPAGATU! - 3.9 (14th in B1G)
RAPM - +4.5 (30th in B1G), +1.4 offense, +3.1 defense
BPR - (-1.18) (114th in B1G) (See post for my thoughts)
BPM - 10.4 (4th in B1G)

Oh, he's goooood.

 

[Dove]

Perfect.

Filled that last glaring need.

And this folks, is how you get 6 quick LIKES.

 

[Askgreek]

Very excited about this addition…his passing is really exciting to watch…shooting stats speak for themself…the fit is just so perfect on paper…let’s hope it translates as expected…

Timberlake who? Boy oh boy what a get!

Have to say the competition Spencer faced in the Big 10 was a lot tougher than Tumberlake faced in the CAA.

And this folks, is how you get 6 quick LIKES.

Also how you get 6 quick NC's.

Castle is right around AJ's height and Cam only and an inch smaller than Hawkins. Pretty close in height all around. I even seen Castle listed at 6'7" which is taller than AJ so would balance out the 1 inch difference with Hawkins.

Samson should help our height as well if all goes as planned.

Awesome Get!
RELOADED!!!!

UConn @ Kansas will be game of the year

It would be hard to get a more ideal piece for the construction of this roster.

Obviously have to peak at the right time, but no reason we can’t repeat.

Very nice. I just saw this on SportsCenter and of course there were already three pages on the Boneyard.. Welcome aboard Cam.

Same here. Nice way to end the day.

Welcome Cam!

Staff is killing it. Exactly what we needed. Roster construction but also program construction is very impressive.

Having a plan is one thing, nailing the execution is much tougher. Hurley is crafting a heckuva program.

I can’t believe we won a national title and kept both Murray and Kimani.

He hit a couple game winners last season. This one to beat #1 (over)ranked Purdue screams ONIONS!!

 

[Rocktheworld]

Finding diamonds in the rough who put up numbers at mid-majors is one thing, but snagging a solid transfer like this from the B1G is great. Like a Joey C Plus

It’s also great that he’s not threatening to the freshmen’s long term prospects here. They got 2 quality wings to help develop them before they take over. Perfect fit for our team, and another win over Miami!

What a get! So excited for this team. Check out the clutch shots in the tweet in that article by Fanta. When does the season start??

I’d also like to remind people he put up 20 ppg at Loyola before transferring to Rutgers. He can do more than just hit open shots. 3 assists per game for his career, experience throwing lobs last year.

This also might be proof of the blue blood effect. We lost Timberlake to Kansas because that’ll happen to other blue bloods. But it’s clear when we show interest in a kid, they reciprocate it.

Thx @navery12 for staying on top of this.. Spectacular news.. Staff closed the deal and Cam did the right thing.. The missing piece. A sniper. UConn's culture over Miami's NIL.. Let's get to work and run it back.. In the mix for six.

Edit: Guess its time to work on 2024 targets for the next few weeks.

 

[M.S.G.]

LOVE THIS! Great get by Danny & the boys, SALUTE!
