2022 Recruiting: Yarin Hasson commits to UConn

Mooch82 said:
Based on Borges' comments, could this other target still be in play? Seems like maybe we didn't want to officially offer Yarin until we knew we had a scholarship....but wanted to leave one open for a potential Castle re-class. Maybe we confirmed recently that a Castle re-class won't happen so would still have two left, one for Hasson and one for the other foreign target if he wants to come.

Or maybe they were waiting out Middleton/Carr just in case.

Are you still holding out for a Castle reclassification?
 
What I like about this besides Yarin's individual skills and potential, is that as a foreign player he learned to play in a different system, a more team oriented system, and so like Henefeld, Sheffer, and Neils Giffey, he may influence our style of play somewhat when he is on the floor because of how he plays the game. It's a nice add to our chemistry.

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.”

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!

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.

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?

A microwave can heat up food in a few minutes.

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

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

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

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.
