2021 Recruiting: PG Tyrese Hunter offered

[husky429]

I have Coached against this kid since he was in sixth grade. Played for Caron butler AAU team till freshman or sophomore year. Have heard he’s a great kid. He’s a 6’1 down hill guard. Not really a point. Kinda of like Dyson but better IQ.

How is his shooting? Looks fine, but the highlights are limited obviously

so Hunter cut A&M, Minnesota, Creighton, and Louisville among others. that's most of the midwest schools close to home which is great.

as i said before, he'd be competing with the guys below for the starting PG role for at least 2-3 years, whereas at UConn in 2021 Cole will be a senior and Gaffney can play CG. Should feel good about making his top ~5 if that's what's next. Really need to put the full court press on him now though

- UConn
- AZ State (signed 2020 junior transfer *Luther Muhammed- sit out)
- Florida
- Texas Tech (signed 2020 junior transfer *Mac McClung- sit out)
- Miami
- Georgia (signed 2020 freshman KD Johnson)
- Georgia Tech
- Iowa State
- Virginia Tech
- Marquette (signed 2020 sophomore transfer DJ Carton- immediately eligible)

*hopefully Muhammed and McClung don't get waivers otherwise 2021 would be their last year

I woukd guess he shot 30-34 percent from 3 this year.

He actually fits pretty well with Gaffney and Cole

 

[HooperScooper]

In terms of what he is looking for to get his list down to five, Hunter said, “Style of play and relationship with the head coach are going to be two big things. Also, I am looking for a place that fits me and where I will have the opportunity to make a big impact as a freshman.”

Tyrese Hunter is focused on 10, ready to take next step

Now focused on 10 schools, Tyrese Hunter is ready to make the next step in his recruitment.

FWIW Marquette just picked up a commitment from a 2021 combo guard

Looks like he may be announcing his decision soon, and just picked up a crystal ball for Iowa State. Good luck to Mr Hunter

And to think a mere 2 weeks ago I woulda been happy with a class of Hunter, Blakes, and Johnson

That's too bad. We did pretty well with a Racine guy before. And Burnsbros23 believes he would have fit well with Gaffney as he's not really a point guard. I know Diggins may have been the key to this decision but...........

Guess I'm greedy for a pair of confident leaders who defend , handle the ball well and can lead the team and score. I know Diggins may pair well with Gaffney, but they'll only be able to win two NC's together.............

There was really no room for him after Diggins committed. We’ll have Cole, Gaffney, and Diggins as point guards in 2021-2022, although obviously two of those three will be able to co-exist in the court. Plus, Andre Jackson is a capable passer and ballhandler for a wing. I wish Hunter the best, but he just wouldn’t make sense.

Guess I'm greedy

Idk if greedy is the right word, Hawkins and Samson are both ranked higher than Hunter and fill bigger needs

Caron has done so much for that city he has a street named after him.
