He was on the court at the end of the games. Couldn't get him out of the games during the tournament.

Interesting. Don’t remember this name or visit at all being linked to us. It’s a connection.

Probably only came to one of the games. I don't think we ever offered him.

His stats are so weird from season to season and it's weird he didn't start this season. 50% from three, 6 attempts is good volume but he probably should've been shooting 10 of them.
He looks like what we all wish Polley was.

I’m guessing he’s not transferring to be benched again.

I think he was hurt his junior year. Great shooter, but wasn't very good defensively. That said, he still should have been starting at Dayton.

I'm very high on Solo. This was the by far the most difficult rotation in the country to break into. Solo probably would've killed it at Dayton this season.

I don’t think he or Hausen start if they come, they’re both snipers off the bench. But both important pieces. We need 1 more high level shooter, at least.

Just like we were doomed when Gaffney and Diggins transferred and we got Newton and Diarra?

Def a nice fit !
Not in love with the idea of bringing in shooting specialists. Not that we can recreate our last few years lineups, but part of our special sauce has been having 3 big high level ball handlers on the floor that can defend. Andre and Castle didn't shoot much but we absolutely needed them for game and tempo control. Show me the wings that rebound, share the ball, and 'stock' it up!

Watching those clips, I was completely shocked that he's not just a catch and shoot 3 Pt shooter. The kid has a handle, can jack it up lightning quick off the bounce, he plays above the rim, showed some quickness and looks like a dynamic scorer who apparently put it together late. Based on the athleticism in those clips, the UConn staff should be able to coach him up on the defensive end. Hopefully he can learn Hurley's motion offense.
Based on what I saw, he'd be a great fit. He looks like a more athletic version of Cam Spencer. I only watched a fraction of the clips, so I don't know if he sees the floor well and is much of a distributor. He just might be more a bigger and more athletic Joey Cal than the crafty Cam Spencer, but either way, if there's mutual interest sign him up!
Edited: I watched the rest of the clips and I don't think any of his 3 ever touched the rim. Now granted, they're only showing his made 3s but my gosh! You'd think you'd see bunch rattle in, but they are all net. I really hope they land him.

Well its a highlight video and everyone looks great but his shot looks clean and for sure as you said he has a quick trigger. Cam was very dynamic and all over the court but Hawk was basically a guy that came off screens and just nailed 3s all day and we won with him so this kid just has to be himself. My dream scenario for this team would be Reed, Brea, McNeeley in addition to Abraham and Nowell. Wow that would be insane.

If Hurley and the staff could add Brea, McNeeley and Reed, that would be a nice haul. Improvement from the returning playerd plus those 3, plus the 2 incoming freshmen, would pretty much fill what we need and give us a shot at a repeat.
I wonder though, if Hurley would Iike to find a defensive perimeter stopper who can also take his man off the dribble to replace Castle, but they're extremely hard to find. I guess if they can play solid team D and light it up from all over the floor, we can probably win without this type of guard. It will be really interesting to see what pieces Danny ends up adding via the portal.
I wouldn't mind them adding another 5 who can score and/or defend. We won it all the past two years going only 2 deep at the 5, but would love to pick up another 5 (4/5 combo) like Danny Wolf. Being able to rotate 3 bigs where you don't have to worry so much about foul trouble would be huge, but I guess I'm getting a bit greedy. I'm not implying any of the current players be pushed out, but if we were to have enough ships, why not?
