Let the Hawk fly now please!

Concussion? Hate to see his great game and homecoming be cut short

Hope he’s okay. Looks like possible concussion.

He's fine.

Couldn’t see him. All I saw was Marcus Williams’ shorts.

Dunk of the year for UConn in my opinion. Not quite on Bouk’s level vs. ECU, but up there.

Nope. AJ's open jamboni v. 'nova.

He's getting some really nice press...

Freshman UConn guard Jordan Hawkins punched home his entry for Dunk of the Year in college basketball this season. Driving down the lane in the first half of

You've got to credit Hurley and the staff for helping develop this kid.

Obviously Hawkins has the tools, but Hurley and the staff had him refocus his energy on his man-to-man defense the first half of the season, and it's paid off.

Hawkins has improved so much on D that he's no longer a liability there like he was earlier in the year, so he can stay on the floor more. As a result, his offense has started to blossom.

No longer just a knock down shooter but also driving to the hoop and a nice poster in his homecoming. He's also been pretty decent on the boards and seems more comfortable handling the ball.

Hawkins is such an X factor for this team. If he can consistently contribute double figures nightly, we're going to be really tough to beat.

 

[MexicoHusky]

The team is playing well. Changing nothing is fine with me

it did? no, it didn't. and za didn't break his wrist. and hurley doesn't need to be on the couch.
seriously, people who go to the hospital when they get a nasty cut, or fall down and go boom, should not post aboot the rest of us who actively engage in life, with the often booboos that come from mixing it up.
and it looks like paige doesn't have osteoporosis, will not need 3 years of therapy for a broken bone and rubberband, and, guess what? tymart has a sore left arm. big deal. it too will heal, someday.
those incessant drug commercials on the tube should be in the hall of fame here. they belong.

freshman hawk is better than any version of tyler, now or five years ago.
blend them for now, cuz tyler does have experience and makes ft's, but as jordan levels out, with his informed defense growing noticeably, he could be a difference maker heading down the backstretch.
we are dangerously close to catching lightning in a bottle. who knows where a spark could come from?

Cole putting up numbers although it seemed in an inefficient way.

He shot he shot 50% from 2 and 66% from 3. How is that inefficient?

 

[6xChamps]

haven’t seen this posted anywhere but good insight into Hawk’s background. Looks like it should be a multiple episode series

 

[imno1]

AJ should be able to do that dunk a few times a game

AJ attacks the hoop oddly timidly for a guy with extra-terrestrial hops.

Doesn't really help your case since he had 25 points on 13 shots that day

 

[Jaker]

If we get 3 years from the Hawk, he could become a LEGEND!

It absolutely does help my point. 5 turnovers in a double digit loss was a sub-par performance by Cole. In the rematch against Nova he only had 2 turnovers and UConn won. Cole has well over 2200 points in his career. Everyone knows he can score. All I was saying was that the one game with five turnovers his performance seemed a bit inefficient. I certainly think that's a fair comment. In fact, I think Cole has played well enough this season to either make first Team All Big East or second Team All Big East. He is incredibly important to UConn, one of the most valuable players in the conference.

He’s certainly our most important player. The team seems to be adapting well to stretches without Sanogo, but no Cole would be disastrous. We’re extremely fortunate to have him.

Hawk is repaying DH for the confidence he has put in him. Great trend heading into BET/Big Dance

 

[jibsey]

Hawk played 21 minutes, scored 11. He’s going to the rack more and getting fouled and that’s a good thing.

As Emily Littella so famously said, "Never Mind"

Hawkins' dunk vs. the Hoyas was #6 on Sportscenter's "top 10 plays".
