Transfer Stats - Jackson, Durham & Enoch

[Chief00]

Durham will be the one who got away.


Enoch ( flaws and all) we could’ve used on the current makeup of this team but Carlton improving could mitigate the longing for that.

Jackson? Meh.

Carlton has skills but doesn’t have Enoch strength. Strength is a great asset in the paint.

 

[Chief00]

What i remember and I saw his last game, was that he was put in as a second or 3rd option and got few if any entry passes. Our 25% 3 point shooters were 1st option. he had moves, we all saw those at various points in his UCONN career. It’s a dead horse I know but as he puts up numbers this year it’s going to revisit our board. He had a lot of bashers here.

So true. Our Bigs coaching was substandard since George left. Miller faked it and KO’s system disrespected Bigs.

@tcf15 Thanks for the update. For you Enoch doubters, who thought Chief’s eye test was wrong, here you go! Enoch has the biggest plus/minus on the team. @polycom, please go back to your genius friends and try to find signs of a basketball IQ somewhere.

The foul shooting ability is another key asset for a Big. Steve has what one would call soft hands for a big. He catches well and the ball flows off his hands. It’s not New England bricklayers.

@polycom this is why you should leave this analysis to someone who actually understands the game, which certainly would exclude anyone you hang with. What you preceive as basketball truth is a hole of darkness. “Your truth” is your darkness. Bottom-line, you have no understanding of the game. Even for a casual fan - it’s poor.

Please point to a post where I said Enoch sucks? Then show me a post where I said my source thinks Enoch sucks?

However, I can certainly find many posts of you straight up making stuff up. Don’t @ me again you liar.

You mad.

 

[Horatio]

Carlton , Cobb and Yakwe +Diarra, Williams, Polley And Whalley is not close to bad for a guard Oriented team. We’ll be fine

Ah yes, because I wrote a 1:30am post attacking another poster.

 

[Stainmaster]

Chief should leave the analysis to those who aren’t pathological liars.

Still triggered?

But it's also not close to good... at least until Yakwe and Diarra are fully healthy and integrated.
But our backcourt will make up for a lot of our front court deficiencies.

It remains to be seen. The true test is how they do against better competition.

 

[Towney007]

I miss... none of them? Happy to be wrong about any of them, honestly. Good for any of them who become a semi-useful part of whatever program they're at - but they were cooked here. Minus Jackson - who's Dad was nuts and I'm sure made more nuts having to deal with Ollie.

 

[Coach J]

So far I'd rather have Tarin Smith over any of them.

 

[HuskyAlum012]

I was in Athens, GA this past weekend for the Auburn vs UGA football game, and decided to stop in for the second half of their first regular season basketball game on campus. Some of you may remember William "Turtle" Jackson, a former UConn commit from the 2015 class. He started for UGA as a pg, has solid handles and played a sort of "old man" game. Did not have great explosiveness, but had good handle and vision. He played 23 mins with 5 pts, 6 rbs, 4 asts, 1 stl. Solid game against a quick, 3 point shooting Savannah State team.

You guys may also remember the player we got that caused Turtle to decommit and head to Georgia. A player named Jalen Adams. Think we turned out ok in that trade.

Back when our recruiting class was a turtle and a prince.

We would rather have Tarin for 1 year vs Akinjo for 4?

 

[browndog319]

?? They shot 75% from the FT line last year. I think UConn has been typically a very good FT team over the years, one of the best in the country.

They sucked at rebounding in the last several years. FTs? That wasn't the problem.

In 2014 we set a tourney record for FTs at 87.9%. That’s a big difference. It felt like there was a huge drop off from then and the last two years - it was hyperbolic, yes, but we definitely weren’t anywhere near as productive. And we’re much better this year already.

Enoch had 3 fouls in 13 minutes against Southern yesterday. The players in the ACC r all drooling to pad their offense stats when SE is in. Vance Jackson in 2 games made like 8 shots and 6 of them r 3 pointers. HE is the same player now then e was at UCONN. The one yr away did not change much

Lol he also had 13 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block in those 13 minutes.

Thanks for the input, Kevin.

It was against Southern. They score over 100 points. Enoch is the same guy. IF i m the coach, I will do te same pick n roll against Enoch. HE cannot defend and will foul out after 10 minutes.

 

[Whtdmd]

Thanks for the input, Kevin.

I m not Kevin, I actually know some of the same people in your circle.

 

[Marbles90]

Interesting that Durham did not play in ND’s loss to Radford tonight.

 

[xclamations]

Durham against UIC whoever that is. Stats against Div 2 teams don't count for much but it will be interesting to see how these 3 will perform. Still think Durham is the only one who may be a loss for us.

University of Illinois Chicago. They're in the horizon league, d1

You trashed Steve in several posts , said he couldn’t defend or keep up with the speed of the game. Translated, he sucks.

You are fighting a losing battle because Enoch will put up numbers this season. As for effectiveness his plus minus had been very high before the last game.

 

[ZenConn]

Akinjo for 4 would be most obvious. However, I don't think we can discount Tarins leadership. We could've gotten any other grad transfer that averaged 12 points a game but I think Tarin provides a bit of leadership that was lacking last year.

 

[Hoophound]

If Dan Hurley can pick grad transfers as good as Tarin, I’m all for it. I’d decided against the strategy with KO in charge. We were always a disjointed mess and even when we had Shonn Miller, he was underutilized.

 

[jojipoji]

dont forget its probably tarin + gafffney vs 4 of akinjo.

 

[auror]

Individual plus minus for one game or a small handful is a stat that should never be discussed. Even when the teams are even. When they're not... lol.
