Cam Spencer Commits to UConn

Can we find another Joey C ? His value as a shooter off the bench, and moxie helped the team alot. Big time portal get by the staff out of nowhere. Hoping we get another late surprise.

I agree another shooter in the Joey C. mold who has experience would be a great get. Can never have enough shooting especially in our offense.

“I would get so frustrated his junior year because I literally reached out to 100 schools, sending them notes, sending them film, saying, ‘Coach, you’ve got to look at this kid. You’ll want him on your roster. He’d help you win games,”‘ Rees recalled. “And just no interest whatsoever.”

I get a lot of joy seeing that Singare and Spencer pic for some reason.

One of the interesting things that rating services seem to miss quite a bit is the value of high school coaching. If we look at Sanogo, Karaban and Clingan we see athletes who came into the program with very sound fundamentals about the game including their position. They make an immediate impact coming into college because they don't have to be taught the basics. They also had great work ethics that were instilled in them before they got here. That's a real hats off to our coaching staff's insight. If a recruit comes in lacking these attributes it must be like a buzz saw when they hit their first practice.
I am looking forward to all the new players this year and hope we again find some great young men who aspire to be challenged and will thrive in this environment. It's going to be an exciting year!

Can see Spencer emerging as one of the team leaders once he's spent sometime with his new teammates this summer. Others will also emerge as leaders.. But there is tremendous value in veteran leadership like his and Newton..

Vet leadership and the sophomore's tournament experience will be the difference-maker this season IMO.

Newton will be a quiet leader. Alex will be a vocal and cerebral leader.

Spencer will be the passionate leader that will replace the void of Andre.
