How do you think Rashool Diggins, Sampson Davis and Jordan Hawkins will do in the freshmen season at UConn? Who do you think will be the best of the three freshmen?
I think Sampson Davis will prove to be just as impactful as Andre Dyson.How do you think Rashool Diggins, Sampson Davis and Jordan Hawkins will do in the freshmen season at UConn? Who do you think will be the best of the three freshmen?

To paraphrase a Connecticut resident philosopher: Now don't be sad, 'cos one out of three ain't bad.Rahsool Diggins, Samson Johnson and Jordan Hawkins
I would bet on Jordan Hawkins because he provides the ingredient we've been missing, outside shooting.How do you think Rashool Diggins, Sampson Davis and Jordan Hawkins will do in the freshmen season at UConn? Who do you think will be the best
If there are 10 minutes a game for Johnson, either he's much better as a frosh than I'm anticipating, or (my fear) Akok Akok isn't the player I'm hoping he will be. Because I'm hoping that even sharing time with Sanogo and Whaley his play is requiring 27 minutes a game.Diggins: 10-15 mpg as Cole's backup. I can't see Cole and Diggins sharing the court much, if at all.
Johnson: 8-10 mpg as the fourth "big" behind Whaley (27 mpg), Sanogo (25 mpg), Akok (20 mpg)
Hawkins: Biggest ??? in terms of minutes. Could very well be the starter at the 2 by the middle of the season depending on how Gaffney and Jackson play.
I’d actually be really intrigued to see Cole off ball with Diggins in at PG. If Diggins is the lead guard he’s touted as it could make things a lot easier for Cole on the offensive end and increase his efficiency.Diggins: 10-15 mpg as Cole's backup.

Really surprised this post didn't get torn apart. Hawkins will absolutely start at some point this upcoming season.I'm hoping Hawkins gives us decent minutes as a microwave scorer off the bench.
I'm not sure how many minutes the other two will see. Sool may get a little run.
I always love when the Boneyard runs wild in the offseason, making confident proclamations that the freshman will come in and be starting at some point in the season or seeing significant minutes early on over more established players. It's the backup QB effect, where we wildly overrate the incoming kid and downplay what we've seen already. Gaffney is by no means a first round pick, but he was just the best player on our team in an NCAA tournament game and people and already writing him off. Much more likely a seasoned kid becomes a little more consistent than a freshman guard comes in and really contributes (though not altogether out of the realm of possibility, I just think the ceiling on their impact is what kemba/bazz did as freshman).
Is Curt Gowdy still alive?Rahsool Diggins, Samson Johnson and Jordan Hawkins
and guys in the last couple of years like Akok, Bouknight and Sanogo started as freshman. If anything, Sanogo started even earlier on than the BY predicted. Its definitely not a stretch to say that highly ranked guys are going to play a lot early on.Really surprised this post didn't get torn apart.

Brendan AdamsTrue, but they took minutes from guys like Tyler Polley and Josh Carlton and Brandon Adams. Our roster is better and deeper today.
Hawkins has the easiest path, because he's the only pure 2 guard on the roster. Whether he's ready to grab the role, we'll see.
