Jaylin Stewart staying put at UConn

He shot well over 50% from the floor. He should have been playing more, especially given he was our toughest perimeter defender. I would have had solo at point and played Liam, Alex and Jaylin together more often.
 
The form is fine, but we now have a pretty large sample of horrible results from 3. Whether it's his form or mental doesn't really matter, the ball is not going in the basket
56 shots over 2 years at 1 attempt per game is not a large sample. It's basically meaningless considering game rhythm. It takes way more attempts than people realize for 3pt % to stabilize (like 700 attempts).
 
Like to see kids playing multiple seasons in a UConn uni.
Uncle Donny just might have had something to do with Stewies decision
At least we know AK is unlikely to play at UConn next season, I have real mixed feelings on that one.
I don’t know if one means the other here. I could see AK back at the 4 and JStew starting at the 3.

700? Karaban has "only" shot 574 in his three years.
 
Much of Danny’s success is finding the right “type” of kid that fits with him and his system. Stewie would have received a very nice nil package in the portal. After a somewhat disappointing sophomore year, the fact Stewie decided to stay speaks volumes on the kid(and his family). He is one of Danny’s guys and I expect a huge jump next year. Really excited about this.

Exactly. Consider his giant slump this year. Are we confident he's a 40% shooter, 35% percent, or something in between? What if that slump happened in his first year?

it certainly happened down the stretch last year, too.

I'd say he's a ~ a 37% three point shooter. Very good but not great. He's had "slumps" the past 2 seasons that both went ~ 5 games each. It is what it is. I'm no statistician, but I'd imagine statistical relevance has been reached with 574 shots taken.
 
I'm so excited for Stewie as I've always had a soft spot for him in my heart as a prospect, but more so than that I think this is huge on a culture point. Just having a kid with lots of potential stay for their third year despite the adversity they've faced in waiting their turn and having faith in being loyal. Could be an incredible recruiting story tbh.

Hopefully he's the next Andre Jackson story. :)
 
Great news! Hoping he makes a huge leap next season! Time for Cousin Donny to do some 1-on-1 coaching, both on & off the court.

STOP POSTING.

Soph-jun and jun-sen jumps led to two national championships... It just didn't come together this year. Doesn't mean player development won't continue for next year's squad.
We literally have banners hanging due to those jumps in player development. Bazz, Kemba, Okafor were all developed within the program to name a few. Hurley developed Sanogo, Clingan , Jackson.

The transfer portal era happens and certain “fans” just want to throw/trade away talented and committed players to our program just bc they haven’t materialized as fast as or in the way they would like. It’s messed up

Not to mention, Jaylin is young for his class. He just turned 20 in February. Youssouf is 22 months older than him, Solo 14 months older, Jayden Ross 7 months, and Steph 4 months. Age is such an underrated factor in college basketball.
 
Jaylin already has the talent but what he needs is confidence and attitude. Does he have it in him?
Hopefully McNeeley rubbed off on him in that department this year.
 
From a Borges article this morning. Not surprising. Wasn't St. John's out of the NCAA Tournament by then? :)

Before he and his family had even reached the parking lot at the Lenovo Center following the UConn men's basketball team's season-ending, NCAA tournament loss to Florida in Raleigh, N.C., Jaylin Stewart was getting contacted by numerous programs.

Stewart hadn't even entered the NCAA transfer portal — hadn't even left the premises, for that matter — before the sophomore forward was garnering interest, including at least one close to his Seattle home.

According to a source close to Stewart, he loves and is fiercely loyal to UConn, the coaching staff and his teammates.
