2021 Recruiting: Jordan Hawkins signs

[Huskyforlife]

If his shooting is 40% plus his freshman year--yes. He doesn't have many skills other than 3s and very good perimeter defense, but as we know that is a recipe for a role in the NBA at this point. My guess is he's a 2 and done guy though.

I really doubt he starts as a freshman.

Very talented player!! Very excited!! He will do great things here and beyond!!

Take it easy. I like the kid too, but he's no Buzz Lightyear.

Take it easy.

Excellent idea for an Eagles song. Useless exoneration for the Boneyard.

@Watchdog can breathe now.

 

[Watchdog]

You can relax

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.............

 

[Watchdog]

What ?

Just finely honed Boneyard paranoia after seeing how well he played in the all-star game. Fear rises that someone else will swoop in and take him to Kansas, etc. Not to worry now though!

He is a very good player. What impresses Chief is his continual improvement year to year, the last 3 years.

 

[gtcam]

Will he be able to beat out Andrew Hurley for PT tho?

so this is how you get your likes
see that Chief00???

 

[gtcam]

One and done?

Im guessing 2 years

I agree. It’s sad when a casual fan weights the talent of a coach’s son to scholarship players rather than the beneficial experience for everyone. Often times the son can give the coach beneficial feedback or insights others may be reluctant to give or because of being around the game since a young age their observations are really insightful.
I think it’s a great thing Dan’s son is on the roster and it’s a shame a small group of misguided casual fans seem to demean the great experience it can be for all parties involved. I wish these outsiders would just leave it alone.

Prediction: the best UConn hooper since Shabazz

You must be projecting an incredible leap in playmaking ability, cause he was purely an off ball shooter last season.

Bouk isn't a great playmaker (1.3 APG) so maybe if Hawkins does what Bouk does (penetrate/score/draw fouls) but better, plus play great D, that will be enough to make him the best hooper since shabazz? it's not that high of bar unfortunately. no one else is even in contention besides Bouk.

Boat, CV, Jalen through all the hate was pretty good. Jalen Adams with 4 years of Hurley? Tuh

I meant he can't dribble, my bad.

if that's the case then at least we dont have to worry about him going pro after 2 years

Going to leave this here to look back at in 2023 - this kid is the next great one.
