Jordan Hawkins return

[Chosen]

According to the Connecticut Post, Jordan could return either Wednesday against LIU or Saturday against Binghamton

Seems like the same news from Hurley last week. Is he practicing yet? That should be a pretty good indication as to how close he is to seeing game action.

Awesome, he needs to get some burn before playing top competition down in the Bahamas. For everyone concerned about Jackson, Hawkins is the real deal. We're absolutely loaded

 

[Palatine]

That would be nice. But no need to rush. Let's not put him in a situation where the injury lingers on and on.

Didn’t Hurley say this in the press conference after the game on Saturday? Not any new news. We’ll probably hear something new after practice tomorrow when the media is there.

It's what he said on Friday, before Saturday's game:



Unfortunately no one asked him about Hawkins's status after Saturday's game.

Btw, this is what the OP was referring to in today's New Haven Register/CT Post:

HAWK ON THE HORIZON​

Hawkins did running exercises and took shots prior to Saturday’s game, and it appears likely he’ll return either on Wednesday against Long Island University or Saturday against Binghamton. It’s tough to ask freshmen to be major contributors right away, but Hurley has already told Hawkins he could be “the next James Bouknight.” If his athleticism and shooting prowess are as good as advertised, he’ll be a major addition to an already strong rotation.

Five things we learned from Huskies' first two non-league victories

I heard "ankle and achilles". The achilles thing worries me. I hope hes 100% or close too with no risk of making anything worse coming back too soon.

Achilles tendonitis? Plantar fascitis? or hopefully mild sprained ankle. Of course if he had any of those things and he was a certain Giant running back we'd be looking at a redshirt season!!

I might be dreaming but wasn't it Andy Katz on the game broadcast that said Achilles? That was the first time I heard anyone mention Achilles and Hawkins. I'm hoping Katz was wrong (he actually did a terrible job of color commentary; not surprising because he's more of a reporter than anything else).

I heard it too

My God - he will be so much better than Bouknight in so many areas on the court and off

Im glad i wasnt the only one thinking this. He was tough to listen too.

Where is this hate in your heart coming from. Dislike the kid if you must, but hating on a kid who’s done tons for us (on court & off) seems pointless

 

[MTBingNinja]

I’ve grown not to trust Dan Hurley on any of his injury updates. Respectfully so, he doesn’t need to tell us squat. I’ll believe it when Hawkins is back on the court regularly. Excited to see him play

 

[HuskyHawk]

I really look forward to seeing him on court. It adds another dimension and additional dept. If the reports on his defense are accurate, he should get quite a bit of playing time once he's fully healthy. As well as Gaffney has played, I have to think most of the minutes come from Polley and Jackson, especially after Polley was atrocious in every phase of the game vs Coppin.
