The guy’s really, really experienced and there was full buy in, our coaches, scouting, analytics (people), his profile is amazing.” UConn won only 12 of the 49 games Haynes started. His second season was canceled due to COVID, he played through a tumultuous coaching change and while dozens of teammates transferred out, he stayed put, determined to make something of himself, and the best of his situation. “I’m a big loyalty guy,” Haynes told reporters on a ZOOM call in the wee hours Saturday morning, “and not leaving UConn, that was one of my big things. I wanted to show you can make it anywhere you’ve been. UConn gave me that loyalty, gave me that opportunity to play and I wanted to leave my legacy there.” <- [/QUOTE]
