Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 4983910, member: 10"] It still boggles my mind that Spencer wasn't even in the top 100 on some of the transfer lists last summer. [HEADING=2][I]Cam Spencer, UConn[/I][/HEADING] [I]2023-24 UConn is one of the best teams of the past four decades ... but would it have won a title if Cam Spencer wasn't on the roster? I have my doubts. That's how good/valuable Spencer was. The grad transfer from [URL='https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/teams/RUT/rutgers-scarlet-knights/']Rutgers[/URL] was the perfect infusion to UConn's system and Dan Hurley's culture. He was cocky, competitive, efficient and ever-reliable. Spencer started all 40 games and averaged 14.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists and shot 44% from 3. The irony that's been largely forgotten in all of this: UConn expected to bring in Nick Timberlake to transfer, only to see him pick Kansas. That opened a path for Spencer to head to Storrs and make history in the process. Hurley and UConn fans could not have asked for a more ideal plug-and-play grad senior than the spicy Spencer.[/I] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/cbs-sports-college-basketball-2023-24-all-transfer-team-dalton-knecht-headlines-hoops-top-portal-players/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
