Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 3523734, member: 10"] You can have access. Just need to know what to do. ;) [I]Tyrese Martin, who [URL='https://www.nhregister.com/uconn/article/Tyrese-Martin-a-big-scoring-guard-transferring-15184978.php']committed to UConn a couple of weeks ago[/URL] after spending his first two seasons at Rhode Island, wasn’t as big a fan of the process. But he understands its necessity. “It wasn’t something that I’d prefer to do, but it was something that had to happen,” said Martin, a 6-foot-6 guard. “I would rather be on campus and see things first-hand, but it wasn’t bad. Just a lot of Zoom calls, FaceTime, things like that.” Martin had visits with Oregon, Ole Miss and UConn. The first two programs did FaceTime calls showing off their impressive facilities. And Martin was definitely impressed. With UConn, Martin interacted with the staff via a Zoom call that also included videos and PowerPoint slides of UConn’s facilities. Martin chose the Huskies, telling Hearst Connecticut Media a couple of weeks ago it was [URL='https://www.nhregister.com/uconn/article/Tyrese-Martin-a-big-scoring-guard-transferring-15184978.php']largely because of UConn’s basketball history and his relationship with Hurley[/URL] (who had recruited him to come to URI). “There were a lot of different reasons,” Martin noted more recently, “and UConn filled most of those reasons.”[/I] [/QUOTE]
