2022 Recruiting: Yarin Hasson commits to UConn

[HooperScooper]

No. Re-read my post. Was never "holding out for it". But also, we didn't find out about Karaban reclassing until December I believe. I was never talking about joining in August, but many people on the board talked about him possibly enrolling in January and practicing with the team like Karaban/Akok did.

I think the big difference though is that Castle has said multiple times that he's not coming to UConn early. Including again yesterday. I guess you can never say never but he seems to have made up his mind.

Castle, who committed to UConn in November, wants to lead Newton High to its first Georgia boys AAAAAAA state championship. That’s a big reason why he isn’t expected to reclassify and join the Huskies’ program at some point this season, as other recent players (Akok Akok, Corey Floyd Jr., Alex Karaban) have done.

“I thought about it,” he confessed, “but I kind of want to finish my high school season for my teammates.”

UConn men’s basketball commit Stephon Castle had a great summer. Here’s why it’s ‘probably my best’

This has been Stephon Castle’s summer. A great few months for the UConn men’s basketball team’s 2023 prized commit.

That was back when we had the magazine…I spoke to his head coach while sitting outside of my daughter’s day care and he basically told me that he had no idea why UConn was recruiting Edwards.

See, your work is still remembered!

Are you still holding out for a Castle reclassification?

Well, that sort of proves the point if he just said it again yesterday. If you don't think the coaches have been pushing this all along, you're crazy. Good chance finally this past week they decided it definitely wasn't going to happen and officially pulled the trigger on a Hasson offer.

Color me optimistic and happy. Welcome to UConn kid! Hard to teach that height and a good release. Hopefully strength training will be his friend and can get some minutes in '23-'24.

I"ll take this comment to mean that in their country they are impressed at what Uconn did for their young men and what their young men did for Uconn. Character building. That is very impressive to me. They get it. David and Goliath. Welcome aboard Yarin and may the legacy continue with you and others.

A big part of me is happy that Castle wants to just enjoy another year of basketball with his teamates.

He will be our fifth. Katz and Cohen-Mintz

What if he comes in and just starts balling like his heroes? A fella can dream, can't he?

 

[jibsey]

I don’t know if he gets on the floor or not but… we’ve seen plenty of games where our shooters can’t make a shot, those 3-20 games from 3 (Sorry to bring that up) so bringing in a fresh shooter like him for a few minutes just to see if he can make something maybe is good?

At every step in life you never get to go back and redo. The moment in time is gone forever. Good for him!

A microwave can heat up food in a few minutes.

Maybe, he can heat up a game with a few minutes of play.

im not sure what all this is in reference to. all i was responding to was a simple, one sentence question that mentioned no names.

Now you know how we feel trying to decipher some of your posts...

How do you define a conventional college 3?

Things might have changed since i went to school but a 3 would be someone you'd only take home after 2 am and 6 shots of tequila

And you need to butter the doors of the bedroom to get the 3 in there.

Yeah, but you have to figure in the exchange rate. A sober 3 equals a tequila 8.

Still can’t open that original video of the new kid?

Go to YouTube and do a search for Yarin. That works. Had the same problem as you.

Also, a while ago his father, who is an AAU coach, said Stephon was going back to high school. He said he wanted Stephon as ready for college as he can be and felt another year of high school would greatly benefit him.

Yup - and he wants to win the state championship.
