ECU Transfer Tristen Newton Currently on Visit to UConn

[Get a Job]

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

I doubt Vance Jackson himself remembers there was a UConn-Vance Jackson connection.

Love hearing that @auror and @Jre2000

Any insider feel like giving a wink here?

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

either way, seal the deal.

Always Be Closing - that's the message to Hurley and the staff when it comes to Tristen Newton. I just looked up his stats and I have seen enough. Get that man in Husky Blue, it looks better than ECU purple

5 apg suggests he's a capable distributor, but he also scores a good amount.

Yeah, the scoring could be a problem, seeing as Hurley doesn't value scorers.

Just like ball handlers.

And shooters.

Are we 100% sure he's on a visit? Didn't JW tweet a visit by Dylan Cardwell that never took place?

He confirmed on his Instagram.

Cow tipping, duh!

How much do you tip a cow? Is it like 20% or do people just use that because the math is easy?

Depends on my mooooood.

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.

They will milk you for as much as they can get from you.

Yeah well life‘s funny like that. If it’s not one thing it’s the udder.

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.

I suspect his shooting #s would improve from deep. From what I've seen he had to take a lot of bad shots because ECU sucks.

Set shot is solid. He can improve off the dribble still for sure.

 

[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]

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

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.

 

[Mr. French]

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.

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