Jordan Hawkins Update??

Per Hurley: Theres a virus that's "running through campus and has kinda hit the team a little bit". That's not great.

More concerned about Polley or others potentially being out or at less than 100%.

Kinda hard unless we know what the virus is and how hard it hit him.

There is a stomach bug ripping through our high school right now and it knocked my daughter out with nausea, debilitating stomach pain, a headache and constant vomiting and dry heaves for around ten hours before she took some medication that made the vomiting and nausea stop, but she’s around 30 hours out now and just starting to feel good enough to get out of bed. She still has a headache and feels weak but will probably go to school tomorrow.

If it’s the same thing tearing through that campus I’d expect that he’ll be good enough to play by Thursday night but not sure how soon before then he’d be able to practice, or how close to 100% he’ll be.

What about about all those who couldn't see the Title as originally posted because they were a ignored?

Glad to hear your daughter is on the mend. My son’s school in Riverdale has been crippled by the flu since they ditched masking only a week ago. He had a 103 temp yesterday and is just coming out of it now. My daughter has a stomach virus that has hit Stamford schools hard. Going to see a lot of late flu/stomach bugs this year.

This has me worried that he mentioned that it “hit the team”. At least we still have a full day tomorrow, and don’t play until late Thursday night to give more time for rest/recovery.

Polley - assume will play BET, maybe not much Thurs but expect available fingers crossed.

Hawk - assume not available BET, maybe 1st round NCAA since at least 8 days away. Hope for the best.

After BET seal team in plastic bubble until NCAA's.

Here comes a Gaffney flu game 29 pts 6 assists

Honestly, Jalen remembering that he's a good shooter would be a major boost to this team. Huge. While too many here skoffed, his defense is much improved and so is his A to TO ratio (despite not using bounce passes to Sanogo and having some picked off). He really has been playing well aside from shooting.

He, maybe more than anybody, can change this team’s ceiling. Would also be great to see given how frustrating I’m sure these last couple years have been for him. He’s got plenty of tools to be a big piece of this team’s success. He just hasn’t quite figured out how and when to use them to define what his game is. Here’s hoping it clicks for him.

But honestly, 20 minutes is probably pretty accurate. The beat writers are about to talk with Dan Hurley.

Hurley’s still driving back from the Wagner game last night.:oops:

Does anyone question the need for a question mark (missing punctuation)

He showed signs last game, looked a little more confident while out there. But playing well aside from shooting much prior, didn’t see that all that much I must admit. Maybe I need to squint less when watching? Lol

I would personally like to see Jalen Gaffney, Rashool Diggins and Samson Johnson get playing time to see what they can do in tough situations now that Tyler Polley and Jordan Hawkins are out.

Jalen will most certainly get more burn but stop with the Diggins and Johnson suggestions. It is the postseason and it’s too late to be tinkering with the lineup. It is what it is at this point.

The ship has sailed for Diggins this year. 100% not ready.

Johnson's ship has almost left port as well.

Gaffney has been a major disappointment all season but has almost shown signs of aspirating and almost breathing.

People focus too much on his mistakes like passing into the hands of a defender. They seem to miss that overall his ball handling is better. He is moving the ball more quickly not dribbling in place. He is dealing out assists effectively and remains good attacking the rim. His defense is much better than in the past. You don't see teams targeting him for ISO as you did before.

It's weird, because previously defense, ball handling, TOs and slowing down the offense were his deficiencies, but at least he could shoot. Now it's flipped. Look at the stats. His TOs can still be better, but mostly it's shooting. 2021-22 UConn Huskies Roster and Stats | College Basketball at Sports-Reference.com

If Polley and Hawkins are both out tomorrow, we will need some shooting from the bench. I would expect Gaffney and Akok to exceed their offensive stat averages.

But most of the slack will have to get picked up by RJ and Tyrese. Anything outside from Whaley or Ajax is bonus

How about a double-double out of AJax?

I honestly don’t focus on anything in particular he’s just not playing well on either end all that often since the BE schedule. And add to it he suddenly can’t shoot, rarely finishes lay ins and gets beat off the dribble a lot I’m still waiting for that potential to sneak out. He’s frustrating for me.

Rooting for that game soon so Hawk can throw Crow at me lol
 
IIRC Gaffney played some of his best basketball towards the end of last season and in the tourney game vs. Maryland. Let’s hope he can turn it up another notch this postseason as well.

Sure. I’m talking specifically of filling the 3pt shooting we potentially lose without Polley/Hawkins. If Ajax can go even 1-3 with all 3 being open looks I am happy

How about no 3s and a dunk fest instead!?!?
