In Tristen Newton, UConn gets a great kid who is ‘wired to score’

“He’s wired to score,” said Dooley, who was fired last month after four seasons at ECU’s helm. “The big thing is, he’s a young kid. He should have been a high school senior when he first got (to ECU). I think he’ll keep getting bigger, stronger. He’s got a lot of upside, which is good news for Danny.”

Newton is a great start in terms of upgrading the roster via the portal. We lost four guys. One was a dud, one was an unproven freshman, one is still recovering from a serious injury and the last, Floyd, is a complete unknown at this level. Newton is very likely to be more valuable and productive than any of them this coming season.

I have a feeling our roster is going to look pretty good once the dust settles.

Could it be that you can improve culture by using the portal? Between skill and character, seems like a super addition.
