Fall practice highlights

[UConnSwag11]

We need an Alpha. Someone who will take the last shot and who can get 20 a game. We get that and we’ll be set

Hawk is acting like an Alpha and Dan Hurley doesn't appear to be discouraging that vibe.. Stay tuned

Never overreact to hype vids. But 2 questions.

How high did samsons hands get on that oop?

And did anyone see Whaleys release? One shot, but it looked more fluid.

Every hype vid Hawkins is makin a shot in traffic or from three. I like the kid's game.

BTW.. Richie's jumper from long range looked pretty good.

His head was at the rim. Kept replaying the whole video luv this stuff BTW have we seen any of Hawk’s 3s ever ever touch the rim. Butta

 

[JustbrewitMan]

We are gonna be so good. Can’t wait for the season to start!

 

[tomtom80]

Seeing more n more clips of Ajax using athleticism going to the tin. I think that’s gonna be his sweet spot, along with facilitating

Whaley catch and shoot was the most relevant shot in that video. He needs to do that.

Who is #14?

Edit: Nevermind, I just realized that’s Corey Floyd Jr. He is way bigger than I thought. Wow

Dude is built like a Mack truck

His form has always been great when he doesn't think. Needs to just take those shots without a second thought when he's open, he'll hit them

Depth is crazy in Yr 4 of the rebuild

Helps having the extra Covid year for about 20% of the rotational players.

I'm not sure if he changed the shot, but that was the most one motion shot I think I've seen out of him.

Yup. Without hesitating.
last year he would hesitate, sometimes almost look to the bench for approval before shooting

Pretty sure that's a standing jump. Elbows at the rim, hands over the square. Man's gonna be a problem.

Why does anyone need to store so many pairs of sneakers?

Because you can only wear on pair at a time

How could you not be hyped......we made every shot!!

 

[OkaForPrez]

That soul II soul version of back to life has been a favorite of mine since college (opening scene to Belly, one of the best bad movies of all time).

awesome to see it for an AJ hype video.

I advocated for him to shoot more often last year on the catch and shoot. Shoot in rythym and not worry. I liked his ability. But he thinks too much too often.

That's why I think Akok is the better option with Sanogo. I have little doubt Akok will be aggressive shooting when he catches the ball facing the hoop.

 

[UConnKev]

AJ’s shot looks better from a distance. Starts at the 15 second mark.

Quick release.

 

[CL82]

Quick release.

Yep. Compare him to Jackson, who takes forever to get a shot off in this drill

 

[6xChamps]

someone check on the guy who doesn’t think Bouknight deserves a banner
