Jordan Hawkins - 2021 Maryland Player of the Year

[Hey Adrien!]

 

[StllH8L8ner]

I haven't been this excited about a player since....Andre Jackson. The future indeed looks bright.

 

[Waquoit]

These stats sound like a shooter, as opposed to a scorer.

 

[Chin Diesel]

So nice to see UConn commits who are winning state POY honors.

 

[Umami Zen]

Got some alpha dudes coming to Storrs .

Where they get these stats though, lol. I watched 8/11 of his games and saw

17.0 PPG
5.1 RPG
1.5 APG

1.8 TO
1.1 STL
1.8 BLK

55% FG
40% 3FG
76% FT

He would have to average 28 rebounds a game to get to 11.1 RPG lol.

I think he starts by the middle of January similar to Sanogo. Really talented kid. Elite shooter, great perimeter defender, athletic. Once the handle and passing catch up, he's going to be the best in the big east.

That's when JC turned the tide, getting a couple of Mr. Basketballs.

Like Hazletom.

Damn nice class.

Congrats Jordan!
Keep making us proud!

Smitty was one of the first and rightly praised by JC as the lynchpin of the turnaround.

But it was the 1991 class with Donyell, Donnie, Brian Fair, KO, Rudy Johnson, etc that had four or five state POY's in the class.

That's when it started to become the norm that UConn level recruits are state POY's.

Remember back when Yarders said Rudy Johnson's Mr. Basketball didn't count because the award "contained scholastic factors"? I do.

He was from Jacksonville, FL. I can't imagine the academic hurdle was too high in the early 90's. Not a knock on Rudy.

Damn nice class.

No fat in that class. All talented with ability to contribute at the highest levels, and all fit key needs.

I agree. They really need a weight program.

But seriously, you’re spot on.

Damn nice class.

All 3 will be immediate rotational pieces. I think Hawkins probably has the best chance at starting based on need.

 

[Chief00]

I think we should see who plays well starting this week, have healthy competition and see who steps up?

From your lips to deity's ears.

So PC

Really starting to feel like the JC days of finding that sweet spot formula of potential lottery picks that can stay in school for 2-3 years and I'm loving it. Coach em up Hurley!

 

[Son of Robert]

This is serious stuff, love this. Hurley really landed a winner here.

 

[UconnU]

Maryland is a good basketball state too

 

[jibsey]

Elite shooter. Sounds so good.

 

[Palatine]

46% from the arc. Water for a thirsty man.

That's a staff with a plan.

 

[gtcam]

Absolutely no surprise at all
This kid is the REAL DEAL

 

[Umami Zen]

Despite his obvious talents. The fact that he came to Storrs even though his lead recruiter left to go to another college. Says volumes to me about the young man's self-confidence and pursuit of excellence at the college level.
