2021 Recruiting: Jordan Hawkins Commits to UConn

[olehead]

He did a post commitment interview with capital hoops. Has this been posted yet?

After a while UConn was a no brainer. Let's go.

He’s his own hype man and some here buy in. I’ll give him credit for being a good carnival barker. But, until one commit, even a walk on, mentions the grind urinals the blaze or any of the other innocuous hash tags he mass produces, I’m not a believer.

That being said, I appreciate the fact that he’s one of us and support him from afar. Whatever it is that he actually does to pay the rent.

‘carnival barker’....I like that one

 

[UCTitleTown]

I LOVE his comment about him recruiting for UConn as well. I love this kid already! Welcome aboard, Jordan! I can't wait to see you play.

impressive young man.

ikr? Comes across as very mature for his age and a bit serious. Just from this interview id be shocked to see this kid get in any kind trouble off the court. This kid looks like hes got some serious focus even on his decision to come to Uconn. Hes very sure and confident in it. Im very impressed.

 

[jibsey]

We are playing this season for sure, right?

 

[Bogey02]

Dan Hurley is an absolute monster!! Couldn't be happier with him as the lead man

Football players are in on the grind.

Do you not realize athletes at all levels have been referring to the “grind” for decades?

Sparingly. @Chief00 is the one who popularized it on the internet.

Google, the grind athlete and you may change your tune.

Guessing it means "I know, right?"

If they Google the grind, will you Google sarcasm?

My guess too.

No the grind is serious business, not just horsing around!

 

[UconnU]

No the grind is serious business, not just horsing around!

Of course. @Chief00 and Bunkley are making business moves on the grind. All in compliance with the NCAA of course...

 

[imno1]

Jordan Hawkins deserves a thread about him. Can we keep it at that please.

 

[ToolzieFan]

I can’t wait to see this kid drain corner threes at Gampel Pavilion.

Having fun isn’t an inherent violation.

That last clip. Dude just bulldozes through contact to score. That’s pretty impressive for someone on the thinner side.

Wow. That first dunk was something else. I think we're underrating the athleticism this kid has. (or, at least I was)

It's hard when you have Andre Jackson on the team. Hawkins is an elite athlete--no question. We've been spoiled by Andre being the elite of the elite.

I know everyone is making the ray comps, including the kid and his coach. I get that.

But I actually think his game reminds me more of Bradley Beal. His shot is a carbon copy of Beals.

Quality game. Jordan had a solid one. A couple 3s, a dunk and a couple more dribble pull-ups. Worth a watch.

Everyone used to comp beal to Ray too. They're both good comps.

Its ok Boomer. (i hate that term btw) Yeah it means "I know right?"

Makes sense, though. Hurley is on record saying that a team that doesn't dunk much, sucks.
