Joey Calcaterra commits to UConn - San Diego transfer

[NJHoops]

experienced guard depth

 

[Storrs South]

 

[Matt '99]

 

[navery12]

Grad transfer with 1 year of eligibility remaining

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Good use of an otherwise unfilled scholarship. Extra guard depth on the bench has never hurt.

 

[aburks41]

Good veteran presence off the bench and his stats are solid. Excellent free throw shooter too. I like it!

 

[Hey Adrien!]

A veteran shooter from a very good mid-major league. Excellent usage of the last scholarship.

 

[CallMeBruce]

His soph/junior stats are quite a bit better than last year's. 12ppg, 37% from 3 in a solid league is nothing to sneeze at. Hopefully he can bounce back and give us some outside shooting.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Can’t imagine he’ll see much burn, but glad we got veteran depth instead of sitting on multiple scholarships. Keeps the spot open next season too.

 

[aburks41]

His last 3 games against Gonzaga he has averaged:

13.3 PPG (17/33 shot attempts over 3 games)

Impressive

 

[Pgh2Storrs]

 

[UofCT]

If he can shoot he will play.

 

[navery12]

Interesting since I heard on the Boneyard we weren't recruiting actual players anymore and were just offering walk ons as the new strategy

 

[bendm]

almost a 36% three point shooter for his career and using his covid year so we keep a scholly open for '23. i approve.

can we get a grid update?

Yes very impressive. Looks like a quality depth piece. Something we needed.

Welcome aboard Joey!!

 

[Hoophound]

He looks like he has some skills. I don’t know enough about the San Diego roster to know why he only scored 8ppg. Looks like he can create a little and has a textbook stroke from deep. He may see the court a fair amount.

A+ use of depth scholly.

 

[huskiesouth]

Just asking - is this the last scholarship for the upcoming season, therefore no more transfers, no reclassing happening?

 

[CallMeBruce]

A new record for the worst mixtape music ever

 

[CallMeBruce]

No, there are still two more scholarships remaining

2 still open, and 1 more the staff has publicly said they're looking to fill

No, Hurley said he wanted to get to 12.

We have 2 open although 1 is probably being banked for Castle midyear. The preferred walkons that signed don’t use up a scholarship
