Not accurate at all. But I’m in a forgiving mood.

Hawkins said he plans to recruit a little bit more for UConn going forward. “I’ll do a little bit of recruiting myself,” he said, adding, “I gotta do a little bit more digging.”

That is one of the coolest, humblest commitment announcements I’ve ever seen. Props to you Jordan. Keep that attitude and continue working hard and you’ll be a future Husky great for sure!

The plan for Andre is to be in Storrs for two years. Same as Bouk.
You know what I don't miss? Missing out on Top 10 guys that we were never going to get in the first place and then panic recruiting from YouTube sight unseen from a bar stool.
We're in the Big East and we have elite recruits who fit our system. What a time.

And now the same as Hawkins. Think it's a perfect strategy to just keep recruiting that 2 year player and cycle one in and one out to the NBA every year. Bouk/Jackson to Jackson/Hawkins to Hawkins/??? (maybe Roddy Gayle)

While it is true we have done some panic recruiting, we've landed Tyler Polley and Isaiah Whaley. Which shows there's a lot of top D1 talent out there waiting to be developed.
Josh Carlton was actually not a panic recruit; he was being courted as our big man early on.

I think he’s referencing beloved Kwinten Williams. But exactly there are a lot of great 4 year players who never touch the ranking systems. Whaley is a great example and is probably being used by the staff on every big man recruit they talk to.

I sure wish I had been as mature at his age (forget 17, how about when I was 27) as Jordan sounds. So focused and thoughtful.
Congratulations to the staff on identifying and getting commitments from kids like Jordan and Rahsool..............and more to come!

“They told me, ‘UConn can make you a pro,‘” Hawkins said. “The history speaks for itself. UConn is known for producing pros and winning championships.”
“DeMatha is a great program,” Hawkins said. “At DeMatha, we do things right. When you leave DeMatha, you’re college-ready and you have an advantage, we run our team like a college program. ... I can defend, shoot, play-make, I can get it done. When I put on that UConn jersey, Connecticut can expect me to get the job done, get some W’s.”

Great news! Hurely is killing it during this recruiting period. We are now set even if we lose bouknight. Nice to see he wants to model his game after Ray Allen.

“First of all, Coach Hurley,” Jones said. “He’s a great coach who also demands a lot from his players. I think Jordan is the type of player who can do well under that. I’m not Coach Hurley, but I also am very demanding of my guys, and Jordan didn’t bat an eye in the one season he was with us. If I got on his case, it didn’t bother him at all. It just made him want to work harder. I think Coach Hurley’s personality is gonna be something that is definitely gonna bring the best out of many players, Jordan included.”

Absolutely love the way this staff recruits. They have a solid realistic strategy on what the real needs are and have the staff that can execute it from start to finish. Great job of closing the deal. Kudos to Hurley AND the rest of the staff.
