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.

 

[husky429]

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]

No, there are still two more scholarships remaining

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

Welcome to Husky Nation, Joey!

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

they did? i thought it was 1 more before joey committed.

 

[Mooch82]

No, Hurley said he wanted to get to 12.

 

[aburks41]

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

 

[navery12]

And, with three more open scholarships, there’s more to come.

“We feel like we want to be at 12 (scholarships),” Hurley said. “We want the flexibility of not going beyond 12, especially with the state of the game.”

This kid isn’t going to play lol

I'm aware, you'd have to agree though it's more likely this kid plays than Andre Johnson Jr though right?

 

[metsfan2323]

Andre Johnson JR is assumed to be a preferred walk-on (not sure if that was confirmed)

 

[nadavtheman]

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

I thought we were now at 11 scholarship players and the two walk ons
Sanogo, Springs, Clingan, Johnson, Jackson, Karaban, Newton, Diarra, Alleyne, Hawkins and now Calcaterra.
Wouldn't that leave us two more schollies if Dan Hurley chooses to use them for the right piece (save one for Castle?).
