One source informed 247Sports, “I think there is about a 95 percent chance that Jordan goes to Connecticut.”

Another source felt that it would be a massive shock if Hawkins ended up anywhere but UConn.

Is Connecticut close to landing key target?

Is Connecticut on the verge of landing another key class of 2021 recruiting target?

Scouting report from Nike Elite camp last year. @UConnStats I have to disagree with your analysis that shooting isn’t a strong suit of his every scouting report I’ve read mentions his excellent shooting.

“It’s no stretch to say that Jordan raised his stock more than any single prospect at the Nike Elite 100. A late addition to the event, Hawkins definitely made the most of his time in St. Louis. Our first live viewing of the DMV native came during the Tuesday afternoon session. Standing around 6’4 with good length, Jordan hit multiple catch and shoot threes with good elevation, nice arch and a high release point. In the second half Hawkins had the ball in transition on the right side of the court with a defender in front sizing him up for a block. The underappreciated junior took off about 7 feet away from the rim and absolutely crushed home a ferocious dunk on the defender that had the entire crowd buzzing. Jordan also hit a few midrange pull-ups later on in the game that intrigued us enough to take a second look and we’re glad we did. Hawkins’ jumpshot and athleticism were once again eye-raising, as he hit multiple triples and displayed a solid handle with some explosiveness as a finisher.”

The annual Nike Elite 100 is traditionally a loaded event with high-level talent from the all over the country. The 2019 version did not disappoint, as several prospects from the 2021 and 2022 classes groups took the court at St. Louis University and made a huge impression. After careful...

He can shoot, I just wouldn’t go comparing him to Ray Allen either. Three level scorer for sure though

On his ESPN profile UConn still isn't listed at all. 7 schools but no UConn. Smh.

Espn is worthless unless it’s about a top 25 player, you might as well read the wall street journal

Thinking ride the momentum for spot #4 and push for Keels or Sallis. If Bouk is to stay for year 3 Adams may move on. Who

Technically there is no spot number 4 yet. No one knows for sure how Hurley will address the situation. A 5* wing is one thing but otherwise the best move is getting a grad transfer which gives us another shot at a 5* player in 2022.

this was the one player I wanted the most for this class - he is, to me, the best overall guard on both sides of the ball by far. I cannot believe he was so underappreciated - just watching the kid you had to know that he is special. If it does come to fruition - it's all I want for my birthday and Christmas
 
He's a shooter and jumps high on his shot but I won't compare him to Ray because Ray had the prettiest shot release in the history of basketball and is probably the second best shooter in the history of basketball but he dunks just like a young Ray did.

Sadly it wasn't, just trying to support my locals until the doors get shut again. My best local friend who is moving across the country tomorrow couldn't meet me out because he just found out his father-in-law is in a coma. The last 6 months feel a bit like a neverending nightmare, just buckling up for the next 6 months.
 
FWIW the stats compiled from the 5 games I watched--didn't watch one because the starters barely played.

11.5 PPG
3.0 RPG
0.6 APG

1.2 TO
0.7 STL
0.0 BLK

50% FG (8.3 attempts)
50% 3FG (3.3 attempts)
69% FT (2.6 attempts)

Low usage, high-efficiency scorer. Versatile defender, with potential to be very good at the D1 level because of his experience guarding high major recruits at Dematha. His handles are a negative currently, as is his passing ability in the half-court and versus the press.

I expect he is a good fit partly because Andre is such a good ballhandler and passer for his size. Will allow Hawkins to play more of a 3&D/pure scorer role rather than having to lead the team, break presses, etc. I would expect to see 4 or more 3 point attempts for him by his sophomore year.

NBA potential IMO is higher than other recent recruits (besides Akok and Bouk) because he knows his role and sticks to it. He could make a career of 3 and D--anybody who watches the NBA knows how coveted dudes who can defend multiple positions and hit 3s so the superstars can do their thing are.

I think Chief deserves a little credit. There was essentially radio silence on Hawkins when he made his post. Then this happened. While lucky, I do think Chief deserves at least a bit of acknowledgement.

If we all acknowledge he’s the insider of all insiders (lol) will that satisfy his ego enough where we can keep this to just the 2 victory laps he’s already taken?

Agree w/you.. I actually see some parallels between Chief's skills and Mr Miyagi's.. "Be patient Grasshopper.. Wax on ..Wax off..Wax on..Wax off.."" Something about trusting the Grind.. So now gotta get Samson on board.. BTW ..Donovan.. You may have noticed that the Train is leaving the station.. Might want to hop on while you can..LOL

His original post, which seems to be missing now, said he was all in on Hawkins and 2 other guys. Chief won't acknowledge that.

Hawkins would be our 3rd DeMatha player since the 1980s if he commits. After Gwynn and Carlton. I thought perhaps Tim Coles went there too but he was at rival Cardinal Gibbons.

Your mixing martial arts movie/show quotes. Mr. Miyaga would say wax on, wax off to Daniel-san. Master Po would instruct young Kwai Chang Caine to be patient.
