2021 Recruiting: Jordan Hawkins

[HooperScooper]

This might be one of the worst things I’ve ever read. And I am old.

Who writes this? There are strange things all over the internet but this is right up there. As a UConn fan this is cringeworthy.

 

[intlzncster]

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?

def not

I think a 9 year old wrote

 

[UconnU]

Tough to get a good read on his DeMatha tape because his usage is low in most games(defense is spectacular though!!!). But if you look back at his sophomore tape playing good public competition you can get a real good sense at just how good he is. Check out this single game highlight for example.

 

[cohenzone]

A Marquette assistant liked it too FYI

Maybe a closet UConn fan.

I always give the staff the credit they deserve.

 

[Hungryhusky99]

So very true - a very small circle. The balls did suddenly drop in UConn’s favor after that. I am sure some here will call it another coincidence but who cares? First, let’s close the deal.

Close the deal ??? I thought a chief confirmed meant the deal was already closed .

 

[RipCity]

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.

UConn had 3 offers to shooting guards. Riley committed to Georgetown. Then there were 2. Chief said he’s “all in” on the better of the 2 left. That’s not a prediction of any sort. It’s the same pointless, ambiguous crap that he always posts.

And Diggins mentioned Hawkins in his interview too, so no it didn’t come out of nowhere. Lol some schmucks never learn

 

[Dove]

Yes. Though relevance escapes me.

Not shocked, I guess.

That's how it might look to the casual fan. But you still have to close the CONFIRMED.

 

[Deuce]

I always give the staff the credit they deserve.

Yes you do and give yourself way more credit then you deserve.

A Letter to Jordan Hawkins: We Are Built Different

Oh my lord, it's as bad as they're saying.

A Letter to Jordan Hawkins: We Are Built Different

Didn’t realize Bernie Fine remarried and moved to California. No better way of dissing his former employer than supporting the one university Syracuse dislikes the most.

Not cringeworthy until we see the wife. I mean look what he accomplished with Laurie???

 

[M.S.G.]

Oh my lord, it's as bad as they're saying.

That was such an uncomfortable read. I want to say I can't believe anyone would write that, but this pandemic has showed me how creepy, weird, and dense our population is.

Stage 5 Creeper, if the poor kid read it he might commit to Xavier on the spot.

 

[Dove]

Just popping in here to ask a question:

Has anyone seen Yoenis Cespedes?

 

[Hoophound]

Milestone birthday mid July and two wet dreams since. Keep it and me coming Danny Boy.

Lol. This was a little yuck for me.

 

[ctchamps]

Lol. This was a little yuck for me.

I think Benedict wrote it. His initials give it away.

 

[uchusky32]

Lol. This was a little yuck for me.

Was for him too.

She’s a 4

I hear you but who can control a kid changing his mind? Saying this in a generic, high level
landscape way - not any specifics to this situation. But, you always have L$U, UL strippers and UNC fake classes to compete with. So never take anything for granted.

You and your clown show never learn. An “all in” nearly a week ago when everyone else is crickets, followed by a “dam burst” followed by a “Confirm”. If you been reading this board with even minimum comprehension ability - you wouldn’t be so clueless. Funny how over 30 other forum members and apparently recruiting experts read the tea leaves that eluded you.
Chief has explained with social media and today’s kids - it’s important that they not someone else make the announcement. Not understanding that demonstrates no knowledge of #TheGrind!
So by explaining this to you, I suppose it’s a victory lap? LOL

Lmaooooo. This man is a walking meme.

He’s gonna have to change his name to RIPCity now.

Chief never fully reveals his hand. “All in” is the closest thing to confirmed you’ll get. You have to give credit where credit is due. @Chief00 Correct recruiting predictions have been the only consistent for us since realignment. He rarely misses the mark.

Tape of Hawkins as a sophomore against public school competition:

I went to RHS in the early 70s and we never played teams from MD. We only played in the CVC vs South Windsor, Bloomfield, Plainville, etc. Oh - theres another Rockville Rams team - my bad

 

[Ratso]

I hear you but who can control a kid changing his mind?

i don’t blame the kid after reading that trash 860 piece

 

[Fatroony5]

Anotha one

 

[UKemba15]

And yet another one. This time from Eric Bossi which is always a good sign. Love it.

My two cents..At the end of the day..It's the recruit..With input from friends/family/mentors/their coaches....Who "close the deal"... On their timeline..(Esp. in the COVID era of recruiting).. Dan Hurley/staff can build relationships and present the benefits of their Program.. Which they do as well as anyone.. IMO.. I don't think Chief or anyone else on the Yard's short list of consistently accurate posters would disagree with that.. Seems like the experts outside of the Yard are liking our chances,too.. Looking forward to Jordan's announcement..
