Jordan Hawkins update

[Hey Adrien!]

Yessir!!

 

[HuskyFich]

I can’t wait to see him in husky blue. Feel like I know very little about what to expect with his game due to the lack of tape. Very similar to how I felt about Bouk

Yessir!!

6'6 sniper and elite defender--kid is absolutely NBA-bound. Players who fit that profile are at a premium right now.

Plus with the ability to play the 3, maybe even the 4... he will have a lot more chances for playing time while he develops his handle and passing ability. He'll need to be a 2 at the NBA level though I'd imagine.

Jackson, Hawkins, Martin at the 2/3/4 is unfair.

This is some welcome good news on an otherwise dreary Monday.

Unfair? Seems OK to me. Let everyone else fend for themselves!

He'll be unstoppable after a year or two with Coach Mike.. Imagine him being on a break with Andre on the other wing.. Gotta get the Bigs working on their outlet passes..

If Hawkins bulks up enough to play some 4, Rehfeldt deserves a raise... and also may be a wizard.

Looks like 'the man' in that gym. Got to be excited to have this elite prospect coming to UConn to play.

This kid is special

 

[WeAreUCONN]

From the looks of him in that video. He looks like an awesome shooting guard type. Good handle and quickness. Can’t wait to see him play for UConn.

 

[gtcam]

As I've been saying going on 2 years - this is the young man that will bring all eyes on UConn basketball
We haven't had someone like him since Kemba
Having grown 2" will allow him to shoot over most guards and with his hops - WOW

 

[Deleted at users request]

This kids game reminds me of Zach Lavine. Very smooth.

 

[millertime7774]

Definitely a Ray vibe going there...

 

[UconnU]

Phenomenal basketball name

 

[HuskyFich]

So much for my lack of video statement lol.

Stroke is so so smooth.

....Broke the cone’s ankles once I think.

 

[Blue Idiaco]

he's UConn's first recruit in a while where I didn't see his jump shot and wince. That is a great release

 

[Dean Wormer]

 

[Huskyforlife]

I want to see him breakdown defenders before I get too excited. As of last season, he was only a terrific shooter with athleticism, which is an absolute need for us anyways.

 

[mussels]

And who's to say he's done growing ?

 

[fatlucy]

If he keeps growing, we’re going to have to recruit a 2 guard!

 

[DonaldDraper]

His hesitation move is as good as KEA. It’s like he has a burst of speed then can slow time down in mid air... you can’t teach that.

Already possesses really fluid ball skills..6/6 shooting guards with his kind of stroke are rare in college.

If Fat Lucy's comment became true.. Maybe Justice W could provide help at the 2 if we're lucky..

JHawk looks like he's comfortable with the rock in his hands..

If his nickname was going to be J Hawk, he’s at the wrong school

Kid looks exciting. He’s still a 2/3 at 6’6” even if he puts on weight. I believe Hurley wants to keep getting longer in the backcourt. If Hawkins plays any 4 for us that means something terrible has happened, because he’s coming in with Johnson and Akok will still be here.

I do think it is safe to say that this team was ahead of its time.

Used to love the “Flying Illini” with Kendall Gill, Marcus Liberty, Kenny Battle, and Nick Anderson. They were definitely ahead of their time.
