Message: [QUOTE="gtcam, post: 4671734, member: 2844"] [I]I say "once in a generation player" for Hawkins because we did have Rip and Ray some 25-30 years ago, [/I][B][I]but we've never previously had a Jackson or a Sanogo.[/I][/B] I think Emeka, Bazz and Kemba were all as, if not more, valuable as Sanogo and/or Jackson. All 3 were not only great talents in the college game but vocal and effective leaders. If you combined AS with AJax then you have one of these players. Sanogo is a special player in some ways. Jackson was a special "leader" as was KEA. UConn has had so many special players that it's becoming the norm. I see AK as the next. Hawk is a very special due to his quick release and ability to get the shot off but his true talent will show in the NBA when he works with specialists and allows his body to strengthen and mature. He is so young but the ski is the limit. [/QUOTE]
