Jaylin Stewart finds ‘perfect fit’ with UConn basketball

[Chin Diesel]

And to to think that some of you doubted the Chips Ahoy/Lay’s/Sprite approach.

Whenever Stewart scores one half of the arena should yell "Chips" and the other half responds with "Ahoy". Really needle those casual fans who don't like UConn's approach to tailoring snacks to each individual recruit.

I'm feeling more '24-'25:

2025

San Antonio

Alamodome

April 5 & 7

University of Texas at San Antonio/University of Incarnate Word

Oh, and that will be #6; #5 is obviously going to be our surprise run this season:

2023

Houston

NRG Stadium

April 1 & 3

Rice University/University of Houston/Houston Baptist/Texas Southern University

PS: Maui Invitational November 2024.

Just sayin'...

That's his official welcome table?

That was a video he shared when he arrived on his official visit.

Did he just totally whiff on that lol?

Assume all the guys we think can go (Newton/Alleyne/Andre/Hawkins/Sanogo), will go. That’s a terrifying thought. Most of your production all gone in one offseason. That could ruin a team.

We’ll come back with:
PG - Stephon Castle/Hassan Diarra
SG - Solomon Ball
SF - Jaylin Stewart/Jayden Ross
PF - Alex Karaban/Samson Johnson
C - Donovan Clingan

That’s before any other recruits (cough Singare cough) and before any potential transfers. Doesn’t even include the international guys we just picked up.

Wow.

This is a good problem to have. If we start sending 1 or more guys to the NBA each year our recruiting classes will look like this every single season.

It also will help make us the premier destination for the top transfers each year. You can point to a roster of NBA talent and say “you are the last piece of the puzzle to contend for a title.” It’s a great pitch

It’s not even a problem. That 2023 lineup assuming EVERYONE goes (unlikely) is already a damn good lineup on its own.

I’d love sending guys to the NBA every year. We’re starting to build a great story. If you’re a star, come in like Bouknight and you could be a lottery pick after 2 years. If you’re a transfer, come in and play your role like Tyrese and you can work your way into the draft.

We’re in a very good spot and no doubt it’ll translate to wins and long term recruiting success

This staff had a plan and it's all coming together. Keep bringing in quality players to replace the quality players leaving after having their value added while here. Isaiah Whaley just signed an NBA conract. Nobody saw that coming when he arrived.

 

[Waquoit]

Stewart is a good player. This is a good get for Hurley and his staff.

Next, Ron Obvious will attempt to be the first man ever to eat an entire Anglican Cathedral.

 

[willie99]

Geez, another 4*

When will Hurley land some 5* recuits

 

[willie99]

We're winning the national championship in 2023-2024. Get ready for ring #5

We're due, and we win multiples on the 4s

But let's enjoy 22/23 first

This was on silent mode...

Hmmm, possible new mojo food?

 

[CL82]

Oh and then there’s this…

[QuickDraw]

Can someone give a UConn historical comp for this guy?

Caron Butler?

 

[ElPresidente]

Anyone else got goosebumps? Scary good!!

 

[Mr. French]

He's got some Luka in his game.

 

[MDHuskFan]

Maybe this is a lazy comp, but being from PNW, is a smaller Banchero a horrible come? (Granted I’ve seen way less of him than y’all)

 

[Tiamat7]

I believe he will be the best college player of the recruits in this already fantastic class. 6'7 guys with ability to create their own shot and high skill level THRIVE in college.

Is he 6'7 or 6'5? Saw it reported as 6'5 somewhere. Either way, tremendous get!!

 

[Umami Zen]

Sounds like Jaylin visited the Yard while he was in town.

 

[wheelerdog]

I know it's a problem that will work itself out, but that's 14 guys for 13 scholarships

 

[superjohn]

From an interview 5 months ago Jaylin said he's 6'7 215 lbs.

I know it's a problem that will work itself out, but that's 14 guys for 13 scholarships

And hopefully soon to be 15

He's 6'7. 6'5 is an old measurement

 

[UofCT]

Have to imagine all seniors are gone, right?

 

[MyDorona]

Castle now a five star?

Ball and Ross are 4 stars Overall class rank of 7

And that's too few in this modern era

I know it's a problem that will work itself out, but that's 14 guys for 13 scholarships

And technically Newton and Alleyne both have another year of eligibility after this one…
