Richard Springs Commits to UConn

[Huskyforlife]

We're gonna miss Kimani when someone makes him a head coach.

With his late start and slender frame, we're not likely to see Mr. Springs very much in the early part of the campaign, but if he can be an 8 or 10 minute per game contributor by the start of conference play and he takes most of those minutes from Tyler, we may have just upped our team rebounding total by 3 boards or so a game.

Springs here for the Fall Semester

Wow!
This is great news.

Totally out of left field! No one predicted this!

That Junior/Senior class of Akok/Bouk/Gaffney/Springs.....

There’s some PROS in that grouping. If they all here SR year that’s an issue. Should be amazing to watch them grow together tho

How many hours are left in the day?

nice late pick up - congrats to staff and to R Springs for his decision
better than being a 2020 - other immediate needs there

Marriage is fluid

Eventually the recruiting will expand a bit more nationally, but for now and for ‘20, it’s nice that a lot of these northeast guys know and want to play with each other.

 

[Stinger92860]

He’s one of these kids who literally grows from one time you see him to the next. He will be at least 6-10 before he’s done.

Confirmed

Good job @Towney007

No.

 

[nadavtheman]

Depth this year with the potential to be a very good contributor in the future. Exactly what was needed.

Perfectly stated. Can't wait till tipoff!!!

 

[Austin316]

Welcome dawg!

Agree, that’s a key component of Hurley’s game plan. More to come.

 

[ctchamps]

Love it. Once kid finishes growing and adjusts to his body I think we will have someone special.

Welcome to UConn young man.

The fantastic Four

Thanks @Chief00 for making this possible.

Lol

Great get!! Congrats to the staff for getting this done!! And I know I speak for all TRUE fans when I say thank you to those on this board that provided legit info on the progress of this recruitment. Vs the CASUAL fan who is only on here for self-aggrandizement and brought nothing real to the table. What’s next Chief, are you gonna break the story to “stay tuned, we are not done recruiting for the future”??

Good job by the staff, none of which Chief knows better than anyone else on this board!!

Single father of 3... might be an incentive to stay local. Hasn't effected many in the coaching biz but one can hope!

 

[HuskyHawk]

Just what we needed. And he really wants to be a UConn Husky. Love that passion.

 

[husky429]

His biggest issue is S&C. Wish he had been on campus the past two months with his peers.

His skill set is something we needed.. a different look inside. Hurley *seems* to want a quick stretch 4 and a screening/rim running/occasional post up 5 that has footspeed to recover and be the back line with our pressure D.

Springs gives us a different look inside at the 4 and 5 with his 8-12 ft faceup ability. That will be important in certain matchups, even if he only ever becomes patching bad defense, cleanup, dirty work type player. Every team needs one.

True, but it would be well-earned. Dan wants all his assistants to have the opportunity to be head coaches. He’s got three so far that have made the jump (not counting Moore because that was before).

Uh let's not do the naming thing. The last time a class at UConn did that...
