I couldn’t be happier for him. What a success story for him and our whole program.

Great get for my hometown team to see a player form my Alma mater. Time to go to some Hawks games. He should be be a bench player on that team. Congrats Tyrese for making yourself a 2nd round pick after only being a light rated 3 star coming out High School. Hard work pays off. Hopefully now you can support your family comfortably.

Let’s go! Happy for him, and doesn’t hurt Hurley’s future recruiting pitch either!

Good for Tyrese.

That’s a great spot for him.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

So friggin stoked on this! Tyrese is such a humble kid and ATL is a good situation!

Feels good to have UConn kids consistently drafted!

 

[BrassBonanza]

So happy for him, what a great success story of working his way to the league!

 

[HuskyFich]

Holy cow.

This is a statement moment for the program moving forward. Even under the radar guys get drafted.

congrats Rese. Can’t wait to see you at the Spectrum Center going against Bouk this year!

Out of high school, Martin had offers from schools like Norfolk State, St. Peter’s, Rider, CCSU, Hofstra, Wagner, Robert Morris, UNC-Wilmington, Canisius. He prepped for a year, got that URI offer from Hurley and hasn’t looked back yet. I couldn’t be happier for him. He’s bet on himself, worked incredibly hard, and matured into just the best young man. Keep fighting, Rese!

What a moment. A Dan Hurley success story. Send your kid to UConn and Hurley can get him to the league. Congratulations Rese!

Crazy he was the first player drafted from the Big East. Nobody will outwork him, he definitely has a real chance there. Congrats to Tyrese!

 

[Shamon30]

Wait I thought Golden State took him.

Congrats to Tyrese. He can really carve out a 3 and D tough guy rol in the league. His finishing came a long way during his time here, hope he continues to improve it at the next level.

Can’t explain how happy I am for Rese. What a good representative for the school

Shout out to Justin Eaddy btw. Working in basketball operations with the Hawks and I’m sure played a role in getting Tyrese a look.

What a moment. A Dan Hurley success story. Send your kid to UConn and Hurley can get him to the league. Congratulations Rese!

Dan Hurley was quoted recently about some people still looking at player development didn’t he?

How many teams in the country going to have
NFL

NBA
WNBA
MLB
Draft picks this year?

I missed it was he drafted by GS then traded to Atlanta or the other way round

 

[MDHuskFan]

looking at todays landscape, this has to help not only recruiting High School kids, but Portal kids who think they’ve been under developed.

He won’t (unless something goes horribly wrong) be working at a factory job this summer to help pay bills

And Rese managed to be both for Hurley!

Unfortunately he was traded to Atlanta.

Good question, ESPN shows him going to Golden State.

Picked by Golden State, but they traded the pick and he will head to Atlanta
