2022 Recruiting: Yarin Hasson commits to UConn

Which recruits he got or the criticism?

The thread about some posters being disappointed with who committed versus who we lost.

Why do I have the sense that you have a voluminous, searchable database of both?

Not voluminous, just a few lol

Well I know none of them are mine!

My only beef with the guy is the top button, but he's far from the only one with that issue.

Not too long ago there were some people vocally questioning Luke’s recruiting. Since then it seems like he’s reeled in a bunch of good kids

The majority of his highly ranked guys at Louisville didn't pan out so it is a reasonable concern.

New grid?

FYI A couple of posters liked the idea of a rejuvenated Israeli pipeline to UConn. Yuval Shaham had put out the tweet that was posted announcing the commitment. I 'googled' him and found that he is actually a 'pipeline'. Maybe this relationship can have legs.

Yuval Shaham joins The Sports Rabbi to talk about his amazing organization UVISION that helps Israeli basketball players find opportunities to play ball and attend university in the United States. Two of his student athletes, Elias Akale who attends University of Saint Mary and Adam Scherbakov who is a member of the Israel National Team U18’s also join the program to discuss their experiences and dreams as the former explains how his life has become enriched while the latter talks about how the opportunity to head to America would benefit both him and the educational institution.

First time Hurley puts him a game he's going to say "hey, new guy, Yarin"

Happy to have Yarin. Poor Gilead Katz omitted as a previous Israeli UConn player. Like the video. Seems to have the kind of game that Buzelis and Estrada would have brought. No comment from the clip as to whether he can be an equivalent player to what those guys have shown, but he seems to have the same tools, frame, and only 1" to 2" less size. Is it stated whether his Denver commitment was 2022 or 2023 class? Appears to be an excellent addition by the staff IMO.

Uri Cohen Mintz should be upset too.

we're recruiting this guy? isn't he past eligibility?

Article from when he originally committed to Denver

6-foot-10 Hasson Signs with Pioneers - University of Denver Athletics

DENVER - University of Denver Men's Basketball head coach Jeff Wulbrun announced the addition of Yarin Hasson on Friday. Hasson has signed signed his National Letter

In unrelated news, old friend Lukas Kisunas is playing for Denver this season

Only 17 at the time of the article and playing for the Israeli National team this summer. Could not find a record of him playing on the National team.

More shooters. Hats off again to the no quit staff.

Is it me or does it seem we just have a whole new team of players, aside from the obvious few ? Not sure I remember the last time there were so many new faces.

Not even 18 yet. Another one of these guys (like Sanogo) where I'm going to really consider his sophomore year his freshman year. Most ballers are 19, even 20 before they get on campus.

Quick one I could find

HungryHusky99 seems to still be skeptical as well from his response above.

He was on the roster for the U18 team this past winter but it appears he saw no game action. But it’s a good sign that he was on the Maccabi Rishon L’tzion developmental squad. Both Israelis I spoke with (both also like using hyperbole btw) said he’s like a very raw, shorter Chet Holmgren. That made me smile. And laugh.
Speaking of Holmgren, I hope the ligament damage isn’t serious and he has a speedy recovery.

I think the Israeli news stand owner that was the link when Calhoun was coaching died and the Israeli connection dried up.

There was also a connection in the Nutmeg State. There was a kosher butcher from Waterbury named Sidney Frankel who somehow became Henefeld’s handler stateside. Might have been involved with Doron too.

I know many here loved the cool-under-pressure demeanor shown by both Nadav and Doron. But remember that both those guys showed up in Storrs as 21 year old freshmen, coming off of two years serving in the IAF and IDF respectively. Literally freshMEN. This kid is literally a kid. Might have the Israeli make-up, but those guys were seasoned upon arrival. Different.

That's kinda what follows the mass exodus we experienced at the end of the season.
Whaley, Polley reached the end of their eligibility. Tyrese & RJ declined the extra year. Floyd, Diggins, Gaff & Akok all felt like they needed a new start somewhere else.
Gotta replace the bodies, if nothing else. I never expected Tyrese to come back for the extra year. Other than that, the only one that really bothered me was Floyd.

Who?

And out of shape. I hear he has a bit of a Ponch.

Yeah, yeah, but how was his brisket? Lol

 

[HooperScooper]

UConn has one more open scholarship for this upcoming season and while it’s possible the Huskies will keep it open, they also may fill it some time soon — possibly with another international player.

Is this Borges's speculation or from the coaching staff?

UConn men’s basketball team gets commitment from Israeli recruit Yarin Hasson

Yarin Hasson, a 6-foot-9 forward from Israel, has committed to the Huskies, taking the 12th scholarship for the 2022-23 men's college basketball season.
