2022 Recruiting: Yarin Hasson commits to UConn

[nomar]

These names sound like 2K Create-A-Player lmao

 

[Chin Diesel]

Gotta go with the GOAT on these.

Jammie Jammie-Jammie.

 

[huskiesouth]

6’9” or so, can shoot, mobile, sees the floor, 17-years old, as long as he is coachable this looks like an instance of international recruiting larceny.

He grew an inch in about ten posts. A Boneyard record!!!!

I thought we only measured in Hilton units

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 can see the comparison!

For now, I'm nicknaming him "Chet," with the "ch," pronounced as it is in "chutzpah."

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

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

Yeah, but he's money when the CHiPs are on the line.

We have a lot of interesting lineups we can go with this year, but we don’t have a conventional backup 3.

Are we thinking this guy will actually get (minimal) minutes, or is he a roster filler that hopefully can contribute by years 3-4?

I know nothing about him other than a 2 minute video so might be a dumb question lol

Development guy. Won’t see the floor year 1.

 

[peyton1211]

karaban will get him prepared

 

[HuskyFich]

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

I think this is such an odd complaint.

Who expected him to reel in recruits the first year he came to a new school with a “character first” recruiting philosophy, especially coming from Louisville lol?

almost everyone the staff has prioritized has come fruition(Justice Williams is the recent exception).
Luke has a great eye for recruits and is talked about throughout college bball as an excellent recruiter.

Also, I blame the HC for players not panning out, not the ACs. So his success with players developing at Louisville while the program turned into a dumpster fire is moot.

Super excited to have him here and this year he’s had some quality recruiting wins.

How do you define a conventional college 3?

 

[Umami Zen]

Just part of Year 5 rebuild.. Trust the Carpenter

 

[ClifSpliffy]

How do you define a conventional college 3?

a scoring frontcourt player, who rebounds better than but handles worse than a backcourt player.

Last week I watched every one of these, one after the other.

I love A-A-Ron, Balakay, Jay-Quellin and my personal favorite, Dee-Nice. And of course Tym-oh-thee.

 

[Guapo]

He plays football too??

 

[M.S.G.]

I have no problem taking a shot at a developmental international guy with this spot

I think this is the perfect take on it, I couldn't agree more.

I think there might be something there. Part of me is like, eh I've coached high school ball for 15 years I've seen a few of him, but he's not that next level.... But, there MIGHT be something there, that's what I'm going with

 

[navery12]

I think having 2 developmental guys on a team is ideal every year moving forward, so having Hasson and Ross in those roles for 2023 is going to be nice

Well, Alleyne would be on the smaller side of being able to do that and Karaban would be on the bigger side. If we are thinking a starting line-up which includes Newton, Hawkins, Jackson, Sanogo and a mystery 5th, there is a chance of sliding Hawkins over to the three-spot.
Bigger picture is I believe Hurley wants his 2's to be able to play 3 and his smaller 4's to be able to play 3 as well.
The days of needing a conventional SF in college are long gone.
