ECU Transfer Tristen Newton Currently on Visit to UConn

[Vancat]

Cud grief.

 

[Fishy]

I think I saw that his older brother is in the portal, too.

Guard from Evansville with one season left - smaller, more of a shooting guard who is not very good at shooting. Hoping/guessing that they do not want to be a package deal.

I made a similar post about someone whose handle rhymes with "leaf" and it was blocked. Amazing that you can't even post the name. Dude has some serious power here.

It’s….strange.

In case you missed it in the other thread, I timestamped out his game against us from 2 years ago in these 2 posts for ease of viewing:
1st half - Transfer Portal
2nd half - Transfer Portal

Yes! No! Yes! No! Yes?

How many years of eligibility left for TN? Haven't seen if already listed.. Looks like 2 if Covid exemption is used.

Correct, should be 2 years of eligibility, but he will likely graduate after 1.

 

[Jay-Bone]

Thanks to covid, he can bring experience and hopefully won't just be a flash in the pan.

 

[Fishy]

I think he mentioned that he was transferring for his last two years and he does not look like an NBA threat, so looks like a two year commitment.

Honestly, much prefer that to a one and done.

I don't say this often, but this is a must get.

I feel like the portal is a bunch of ok, good, solid guys.

Given how well he fits our most important need and that's he's clearly one of the best transfers, I think he makes us VERY dangerous right away.

 

[Umami Zen]

Can't believe the Carpenter snuck this guy into town without any Yarders knowing about it .. Ninja recruiting

Ya think?

In a school with a coach that preaches "culture over transfers" we are now coveting a guy ranked only 7 positions ahead on the transfer rankings (on a list of 1700) of our top 60 frosh recruit who already had a year in the "culture" .


Must get?

absolutely.


We definitely need him.

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.

I just read your post. I'm convinced.

 

[nomar]

That's the worst use of "apropos of nothing" I have ever seen, or ever will see.

 

[Chief00]

Yes Sir!

Tristen Newton is 7 positions higher than Rahsool Diggins? Who made that ranking? Lol.

One guy averages 18 points in the AAC, the other guy couldn't sniff the court.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

The weather in Storrs this afternoon is seriously gorgeous, 61°, dry, light southwest winds, partly cloudy, and comfortable. Couldn't have picked a better day for a visit...

I'm going to guess Rahsool Diggins does not deserve to be ranked ahead of some of those guys, particularly Desmond Cambridge and Justice Hill.

I get your point, he's not a "must-get". But on the surface it seems Newton is a massive upgrade on Diggins, and is one of the best transfer options, and instantly makes our ceiling a lot higher? Do you not agree?

That's the worst use of "apropos of nothing" I have ever seen, or ever will see.

"All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die,"
Says the man next to me out of nowhere
It's apropos
Of nothing
He says his name's William but I'm sure,
He's Bill or Billy or Mac or Buddy
And he's plain ugly to me
And I wonder if he's ever had a day of fun in his whole
life
We are drinking beer at noon on Tuesday
In a bar that faces a giant car wash
The good people of the world are washing their cars
On their lunch break, hosing and scrubbing
As best they can in skirts in suits

There's a lot of scoring or combo guys in the portal, but I think of the upper echelon of available transfer guards, he's the best passer. And then on top of that he has the best size, too. He's the truest combo guard in that he's good at both scoring AND passing, although the term is usually meant to describe a guard who can score and pass a little.

Being a two year kid is so great so we can allow Castle to develop a little bit more slowly, than ideally go pro after year 2

He’ll be in Hartford, but I’m sure the weather is great here too.

Why Hartford and not Storrs?

 

[Huskyforlife]

Why Hartford and not Storrs?

Not sure, just know that’s where he’ll be. Maybe he’s in Storrs right now?

I will do the Newton Dance if we do:

I remember the tricky part
