Hey guys,
Wichita State's jerk of a coach Gregg Marshall just "resigned" after a long list of terrible player-abuse incidents.
Tyson Etienne is a player who is immediately available to transfer & also be immediately eligible to play this season.
Etienne is a proven great outside shooter (standing or off the dribble) & a pressure defender who can also drive! Consistent, outside shooters have been in short supply at UConn in recent years (decades).
UConn coaches know Tyson Etienne because he's a NYC area kid who went to high school @ perennial NYS champs Long Island Lutheran. And Etienne also prepped right up the road at Putnam Prep, attending many UConn games while there. UConn lightly recruited Etienne, IMO, because they were late to the table.
I think now would be a great time to really go after Tyson Etienne for immediate help with the Huskies outside shooting woes.
Unlike Tyler Polley, Etienne can shoot off the dribble too & is a physical, tough defender. He averaged over 20 ppg. against the best competition in high school. And Etienne averaged 11 ppg. as Wichita State's outside threat as a freshman last season. He has three years of eligibility left.
Plus, with this season looking the be almost certainly postponed, UConn would have more practice time to fully integrate Etienne into their system.
Tyson Etienne at UConn could really be a win-win. I hope Hurley is on it!
