Jordan Hawkins Update??

[UconnU]

Hurley said he was going through the concussion protocol. So I guess he had a concussion. Then again concussions aren't like a broken bone or a sprained ankle. Sometimes there aren't specific symptoms like a headache or nausea so that you know you definitely have a concussion.

Kid was staggering around walking to the locker room like he had taken a standing eight count. Not sure if it was a concussion but, regardless, it didn't look good. The more caution, the better.

Gaffney's receiving a “wet willy”

It said in the Connecticut post that Jordan practiced yesterday and should be good to go on thursday

Hawkins will have to give us something on Thursday.

Their defense is good both inside and on the perimeter, but they're going to have to commit to stopping Sanogo and that will leave openings for shooters.

I hope Hawk and Polley don't settle for only outside shoots. Polley contributes more when he uses his mid-level game and Hawk has shown he can attack the basket effectively. A more fully rounded game will also yield open three pointers.

As long as Sanogo converts a bit better than last outing

He practiced today and should be good to go for Thursday.

So important not just for what he brings, but because we need more depth in general.

He comes in at the 12 minute mark, he's not the end of our bench. As a perimeter threat doesn't it get better for our bigs?

Not sure what you are saying. I'm saying he's hugely important, more so than Polley because he plays better D and rebounds. My point with depth is that we are limited when Hurley only has Gaffney and Polley (since he won't play Akok or anybody else). That makes us very vulnerable. There are situations where guys need a break but you don't want the D to drop off.

I would certainly not want the D to drop off.
