2021 Recruiting: Jordan Hawkins

Not open for further replies.
Hawkins best attribute right now is his ability to knock down shots. His form and follow through is pure, original sweetness. Players don't all have a textbook shot, if there is such a thing anymore. Tyler Polley is out the door, maybe Bouknight, maybe Brendan Adams. We need shooters and that's Hawkin's game right now. The potential for the rest of his game, which is high, he'll develop while he's here.

11th best shooting guard in his class right now according to 247. I'll take it :)

When I first started posting here, I assumed everyone was old too...maybe simply because it’s a message board. But the more I’m on here I realize we have a lot of young people too. Even when Stanley passed several posters wrote that he was their one of their favorite players as a kid.

You should check out the OT music threads. It's pretty obvious of the spread in ages here. ;)

He’s more than just a shooter. On the tape I saw his defense in particular looked SPECTACULAR. He’s very active, very long and very disruptive; active on the glass. He’s also explosive offensively, he dunks on his way up. Seems like right now his ball handling is his biggest weakness along with being a little on the skinny side.

I was thinking about him. He’s someone we wouldn’t need to play a huge role in 2021-2022, but it’d be nice to have him in the fold if we lose Martin, Jackson, Adams, and Cole after that season.

I like Santos' long term upside as a knockdown shooter so if we pursue him I'd be happy with that. I also wouldn't hate adding a grad transfer for a veteran presence. The team will be heavy with underclassmen who will still be figuring out their own strengths and weaknesses

I think it makes sense to keep the 4th open with all the uncertainty with transfers next year. Could be a ton of immediately eligible upper classmen
 
While I understand the value of an immediately eligible upperclassman, I wouldn't turn away from a 4* in play.

I don't think we know what the staff will do next. Wouldn't make sense to just turn down another 4 star.
 
Maxpreps has DeMatha as the third best high school team in the country last year. When was the last time we landed a player from a top 3 high school team in the country? I don’t believe Carltons DeMatha team was that good.

Who are we talking about here? Not sure if Santos is a 4* any longer.

Not talking about a particular player. I'm just a fan of keeping all options open and not shutting down the '21 class for a transfer, particularly if there's '21 talent still interested.

Got it. I don’t disagree, just not sure who else we are really strongly after other than Hawkins and Johnson. That being said, it’s a very weird recruiting year and this staff seems to play things close to the vest, so who knows.

May have changed but I don’t see it as a retweet on his timeline

Yeah he undid it, but it was definitely there. I saw it before it was posted here as well

Edit: Hesitant to even post since he deleted it, but I haven't refreshed my timeline yet

Akok Akok went to Putnam Science Academy and they are regularly ranked as one of the best prep teams in the country.

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.

Years ago I went to a Celtics game where Heinsohn, a pretty reliable gunner was 0-15 and fouled out. Almost all of them have a clunker or two in them. ,

We should have two Oak Hill guys (Kofi, Cam Thomas) and a Montverde guy (Precious) but all suspiciously chose programs known for dishing out $$. Coincidence??

MaxPreps News - A look forward at who might sit atop the hardwood landscape next season.
www.maxpreps.com www.maxpreps.com

16. Archbishop Wood (Warminster, Pa.)
2019-20 Resume: (22-5) Advanced to the PIAA Class 5A state quarterfinals*
Outlook: The Vikings appear to be the team to beat out of the Philadelphia Catholic League next year, returning four All-Catholic League performers. Rahsool Diggins won Catholic League MVP, while Jaylen Stinson, Daeshon Shepherd and Marcus Randolph each received all-league honors.

17. DeMatha (Hyattsville, Md.)
2019-20 Resume: (30-3) No. 5 in final Top 25. WCAC regular season, tournament champions
Outlook: While the Stags have finished in the Top 10 in each of the past three years, next season will be present new challenges without stars Earl Timberlake Jr. and Hunter Dickinson. Top returners Jordan Hawkins, Tyrell Ward and Elijah Hawkins will look to fill the void.

Is the longer this commitment gets drawn out a bad thing? Any chance of him flipping schools?
