UConn men’s basketball team gets commitment from Israeli recruit Yarin Hasson

Yarin Hasson, a 6-foot-9 forward from Israel, has committed to the Huskies, taking the 12th scholarship for the 2022-23 men's college basketball season.

UConn has one more open scholarship for this upcoming season and while it’s possible the Huskies will keep it open, they also may fill it some time soon — possibly with another international player.

Would prefer they did not fill it. Flexibility is key!

Brandon Williams

Williams is 2023 and just came out and said he's either going to UCLA or St. John's. We aren't recruiting him.

Borges' comment makes me think he knows something...not sure if it would be another international guy who is completely off the radar, or if he is considering Singare international and a re-class is a possibility. Would be sort of weird though since he's playing h.s. ball in the states.

Won't be Castle.

Castle, who committed to UConn in November, wants to lead Newton High to its first Georgia boys AAAAAAA state championship. That’s a big reason why he isn’t expected to reclassify and join the Huskies’ program at some point this season, as other recent players (Akok Akok, Corey Floyd Jr., Alex Karaban) have done.

“I thought about it,” he confessed, “but I kind of want to finish my high school season for my teammates.”

UConn men’s basketball commit Stephon Castle had a great summer. Here’s why it’s ‘probably my best’

This has been Stephon Castle’s summer. A great few months for the UConn men’s basketball team’s 2023 prized commit.

singare is from mali

 

[HuskyHawk]

Does Jokić have any eligibility left? I feel like that would put us over the top.

 

[David 76]

Unless if is a real stud, keep the scolarship open in case anyone wants to join in December

All good, but he is also 2023...wouldn't be the 13th scholarship for this year.

 

[Magic32]

Heard we were definitely utilizing last scholarship this semester and that it would be an international player (Guard). Have not been able to find any information in the days since I heard the news, so no clue if accurate. I won't share his name since there has been no news but I will say it is one I have not seen on The Boneyard.

Interesting. Coincides with Borges hinting at another possible international player and another poster (forget who) saying something similar about an international player other than Hasson.

When do classes start? How late can someone enroll? If this is still going to happen, it’s gotta be really soon.

Classes started this week, last day to enroll is September 12th (a week from Monday)

 

[Magic32]

Had anyone seen his name on yard prior to today? I searched when I posted about 13th being used and didn't see his name. Welcome to UConn

6'7" from Greece. FIBA website has him at 6'4", so maybe he grew from last year.

UConn men's basketball team adds Greek player Apostolos Roumoglou to roster

UConn men’s basketball adds second international player, Apostolos Roumoglou from Greece


Hurley noted that he wants to continue recruiting internationally, but begin earlier in future years to help find top talent.

Hurley spent the last month on Zoom calls with Roumoglou and watching film. He never saw Roumoglou or Hasson play in person until they arrived on campus.

UConn already has a talented roster, so Roumoglou and Hasson will mostly be expected to help the team in practices as they get comfortable in their new surroundings.

“We already know we can play 10 right here,” Hurley said, “and the 10th guy may even deserve a little bit more than he’s gonna get. At the minimum here we know we’ve got 10 that have a chance to battle for top-nine minutes or top-eight minutes or whatever. It’s the most competitive top-10 that we’ve had since I’ve been here.”

Roumoglou did not play with the team Friday as he still needs to pass a physical and a medical exam.

So Hurley Jr is a walk-on?

So Hurley Jr is a walk-on?

Yep. Always was

 

[Mooch82]

Yep. Always was

Even if he was a starter playing 35 mpg, it would make sense for him to technically be a walk on. Save a scholarship.

 

[KembaStepback]

Andre Johnson is also technically a walk on as well, correct?
