Terrance Samuel is a stud

[Huskybass]

Plays mistake free, goes to the hole strong, plays tough D and hits his free throws. He has made a huge difference. Vitally important since Kromah has virtually disappeared.

 

[WeAreUCONN]

his 2 baskets, were HUGE.
his ball handling and Defense, were also HUGE.

 

[tykurez]

He's going to be a LOT of fun to watch the next couple years. TSam is a MAN!

2016: Junior TS, Junior AB, Junior Facey, Junior RP, Senior Omar, Sophomore DHam, Sophomore Rock.

Wow.

 

[Vuder]

His handle is amazing. I feel good about having him running point for the next 3 years.

Wow.

.....with sophomore (junior?) cassell jr, freshman turtle, freshman prince......

 

[Kitaman]

Shabazz Napier '11' redux!

 

[jibsey]

All I know is that when he comes in we erase deficits and go on runs. I'll let basketball geniuses explain the the why, but for awhile I wondered why he was on the bench. BTW the call against him was not travelling.

The kid simply has it, big and quick. Decent handle. If that handle improves, watch out.

 

[BoatShow]

Fearless.

 

[metsfan2323]

Put TSAM in charge of the federal reserve, deficit eraser.

 

[HooperScooper]

Fearless.

Definitely. That drive to the basket through traffic was big time. He wasn't afraid of the moment.

 

[Jax Husky]

Dude has no fear. He will be stud at UCOnn before its all said and done

TSam gives us a very unique ID. I'm not sure there's another team in the land that when they go to a three guard offense goes to 3 point guards. And that's 3 quality point guards.
The way TSam is playing right now, he could start for 90% of Division 1.

Quiet as its kept, he beat out a very good 4 year player (Kromah) for that 'now' coveted position.

 

[itgoeslike]

He's fearless, but more importantly, he converts. Great D too. Come next year we are going to have some big talented guards. Should be interesting.

 

[David 76]

Daniels and Boat have been mentioned as MVPs of the game but you could make an argument for TSam

 

[DOZE860]

if he develops a jump shot, he could be scary good..

 

[housekeys]

Definitely. That drive to the basket through traffic was big time. He wasn't afraid of the moment.

Those drives to the basket are the equivalent of a rushed off balanced jumper where fans are saying "no no no....yeah". But you know what, no risk no reward. You need to be aggressive and though I prefer our aggressiveness come from seasoned veterans, at this point in the season, TSam is no longer a freshman.

 

[noeynox]

He was a one mass press breaker last night.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

2016: Junior TS, Junior AB, Junior Facey, Junior RP, Senior Omar, Sophomore DHam, Sophomore Rock.

Wow.

Won't Cassell also be a junior on that squad?

 

[Senore]

Samuels primary asset - to me - is his speed. Good lord he is fast.

 

[upstater]

The thing I like about Samuel breaking the press last night is that this is how UConn used to break the Louisville press back when Marcus Williams was doing it. Power through it, don't be tentative. Don't be afraid to turn the ball over so much, and then come the easy baskets.

 

[babysheep]

Won't Cassell also be a junior on that squad?

Yup, I completely forgot about him

Not to mention Turtle and Prince as freshmen, and who knows, maybe Ollie can get a big from 2015 after this run.

When he went on that jaunt, I'm thinking "well he's not getting it this time, way too much in his way."

Geez.
I'm doubting him no more.
