2021 Recruiting: Jordan Hawkins

[Dooooooomed]

Great troll. Now you'll have a bunch of adults debating and berating each other over the definition of "soon".
Especially funny when the correct answer of how long is "soon"? 20 minutes.

That "soon" tweet was from 7/31. The new tweet today is that he predicts UConn. Nothing troll-like about it.

I'm sold... Hopefully it becomes official in a little bit....

Agreed. The Zags prediction tweet was the story, which just came today.

Exciting to think about what “Mr Strength” could do with this guy...

 

[BuffaloHusky]

I have to admit I didn't necessarily love some of his prior video but the mix tape shows me two things: 1) he's definitely athletic and 2) he knocks down shots with guys in his face. Now we just have to close the deal.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Another ball, this time from Chris Fisher:

On my count, that's 100% from a lot of reputable sources. Let's close the deal.

Chris Fisher is the latest Crystal Ball. Snow was last week.

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.

Look I love Chief here on the BY, but not today Chief. Just relax a bit and enjoy the ride without mentioning yourself.

I am thinking Chief is Mr. .

I'm an ever-Chiefer. But MHB is wearing on me.

Nope.

You realize that was @UcannUconn mentioning me?

You've gotta remember that EVERY player has flaws and terrible games at 16 years old--even the 5-stars. We just normally don't see them. But Dematha is such a high profile program there are tons of options to see full games, including TOs, bricked FTs, clunkers games where he goes 0/5 etc.

Wish @Chief00 would have claimed to be just to smoke the real out

The staff already did with Operation Cardwell.
The real is... just lukewarm and sweaty

 

[Brochacho]

Nope.

Confirmed?

How could you think that for a second? MHB has occasional traces of humor.

 

[Fatroony5]

Two more for good measure.

Clearly a newcomer to this board

This bouta be a record.

How many wings can come in and immediately be a good defender as a freshman? This kid can possibly do that.

Do you see his college position as a SG or SF?? AJ and Tyrese seem more like "natural" wings.. Any way you cut it..Would be nice to have that trio rotating in and out of the SG/SF slots..Could easily see him putting on muscle/adding strength after a year or two in UConn's Strength Program

SG but Lineup dependent. Can play as the third guard like Bouk did sometimes

Several posters have mentioned that the staff is recruiting as if 2021 will be a 4-man class. I wonder if we’d still be in on any pure shooting guard prospects. We will have plenty of talent with Cole, Gaffney, Diggins, Jackson, Martin, Adams, and hopefully Hawkins, but they’re mainly point guards, combo guards, and wings.

However it pans out, we’re going to have a deep, talented, and versatile team.
