Message: [QUOTE="Hey Adrien!, post: 3509351, member: 5787"] A nice article by The Athletic on Tyrese Martin to UConn. [URL unfurl="true"]https://theathletic.com/1730975/2020/04/07/it-was-just-hard-to-turn-down-tyrese-martin-embraces-opportunity-at-uconn/?article_source=search&search_query=carroll[/URL] For those of you without subscriptions, here's some highlights: *[I]"Hurley’s personality stuck with Martin, and it remained a big draw. He said it was nice to see he still has the same style of coaching he displayed at Rhode Island. “Just the passion he brings day in and day out,” Martin said. “The way he brings energy to his players and to the game, that’s just something I want to play for and be around.” “I think Tyrese is a Swiss Army knife,” Johns [Martin's high school coach] said. “He can do everything. He rebounds the ball at a high level for a guard, he can shoot it. He passes the ball well; just talented. He’s athletic so I think whatever role Coach Hurley needs him to play, he’ll play it.” In Martin, UConn is getting a “no-nonsense” and motivated player, Johns said.[/I] [B]My note: [/B]Whatever happened at URI, it's noteworthy that this will now be the first time Martin is playing college basketball with the coach that he committed to [I]twice[/I].
