ECU Transfer Tristen Newton Currently on Visit to UConn

Figured this deserved its own thread

LETS. GO.

Newton and one other combo guard makes me so giddy for next season again. It doesn't have to be Ramey but let's say it is:

Newton
Ramey
Hawkins
Andre
Sanogo

And a bench filled with our young guys and Akok is good enough to get after it

Seal the deal

 

[Improviser]

Sign him up.

Give him the boat tours of Mirror and Swan Lake, if there are any.

Any and all ice cream on the house at the Dairy Barn.

What else is left?

Cow tipping, duh!

Seal the deal

I will do the Newton Dance if we do:

 

[superjohn]

He makes perfect sense for this team. Big point guard who scores the ball, gets others involved, rebounds, and makes all his ft's. Hurley has scouted him from the AAC. Close the deal.

Review of academic requirements?

If anyone has time to kill today like me, you can watch this kid torch us as a freshman here. Dropped 25 points and 6 assists while matched up against our best perimeter defender.

Bring him in!

I’ve read his 2021-22 ECU game log of stat lines on ESPN.com. That’s all I know about him.

I’ve seen enough. He’s the guy.

 

[aburks41]

Please don't let him leave campus without a commitment

 

[tcf15]

looking forward to the excitement if/when UConn lands him to be followed by the "this is why you don't take ECU transfers" takes during the season.

We all know what happens when the staff has a recruit on site so hopes are high for landing him.
Love his size, game and years that we could possibly have him.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Well that’s the guy….

 

[Tenspro2002]

Just looking at this stats.

Likes:

• Good assist numbers (5 apg) despite also scoring at a high clip (12-13 FGA/game) and used to playing a lot of minutes (35 mpg). In other words, would be comfortable as the ball-dominant guard.
• Good size and rebounding (almost 5 rpg) for the position.
• Elite FT shooter (88%) and takes advantage of it by getting to the line at a good clip (almost 6 FTA/game)

Dislikes:

• Mediocre shooter (33% from 3 in 2022)
• Turns it over more than you'd like (3.5 per game)
• So-so defensively (104 DRTG), though to be fair, RJ Cole was similar/worse at Howard and then improved at UConn

Definitely would take him and he becomes the starting PG from Day 1, but I think adding more of a pure shooter as the other transfer guard becomes imperative.

But if we didn’t hear about this last week, Hurley wasn't trying. Did I get that right?

 

[AntG168]

The transfer markets recruiting is done way before anyone announces they’re transferring. So yes it’s quite and nerve racking for us. But I’m sure the staff has a good idea already of who they’re getting. Be patient. I see a TON of NEW talent in the future

Nice find !

 

[huskyfan224]

I want him to commit, but I’m curious…is he a true PG or a CG? Idc either way, just lock him up

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Our current coaches have a very good track record for sealing the deal if we can get our targets on campus...

[ctchamps]

AAC connection. Vance Jackson connection. It's in his destiny to be a Husky.
