Yarin Hasson Enters Transfer Portal

[CardiacAndre7]

Heard he’s going to St Johns.

 

[Chin Diesel]

No matter what happens, Yarin Hasson is a D1 men's basketball national champion. Not a lot of people in America can say that right now. Thank you, congratulations, and best of luck with your future Yarin!

And even fewer in Israel.

 

[businesslawyer]

From April 4, rough translation: "Mom, it was worth it. I'm coming back with a ring"

Has any Israeli ever won an NCAA basketball championship before? Anyone know?

 

[TheHorde]

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Yarin has the same number of rings as Jim Boeheim.

Only Israeli I can think of was on the women’s side - Shay Doron, who was the second-leading scorer on the 2005-06 Maryland championship team that beat Duke. Also, a second round draft pick, like another Doron.

If Newton decides to come back that can effect some people’s feelings on their situation here

 

[pick6s]

Oh, whoops. I wasn't trying to break rules or speculate on his future- I just thought he had already officially decided since he was honored on Senior Night.

so was newton so we are hoping senior night doesnt imply anything

 

[CL82]

Actually, no.

Why not? They would open roster space.

Considering what Yarin practiced against every day for a year, he could be a very good addition for someone.

He'll also have the nicest ring of any player on his new team.

Might get a chance for some PT on a mid major or more on a lower major. Wish him well.

I get the intent of the rule. It’s still funny to me tho that we can’t talk about what’s in the article when it’s published by the biggest reporter on the beat at UConn. It’s not like he just puts stuff out there without hearing credible things.

 

[ElGreco]

Richie still here. Follow the rules!!!!!!

Yes!! Hoping Richie gets some well earned & deserved in game PT. He is a fan favorite.

I too hope so. It will likely depend on how he stacks up vs Singare

And Tom Izzo

 

[ElGreco]

Thank you interjecting facts here.

All the new people don’t know enough to tell dove to shut the hell up

Hence the holdup.

 

[dingaling]

Does the coaching staff encourage some of these guys to transfer or outright tell them theres not enough room for them? Would seem like a real hard spot to be in breaking that news to a kid.

 

[TheHorde]

And Tom Izzo

And Calislimy

BOL Yarin, chase your dreams young man. Thanks for choosing UConn

I think they're just honest about PT, and what it takes to earn more

I think kids believe they can win time when they sign, all of them. And when they realize they might not crack the rotation, they decide to move

Dan is a player's coach.. He's energetic.. Honest.. A straight-shooter.. Passionate about the game.. Invested in his guys improving and meeting their goals/his goals for them.. At the conclusion of the season.. Player meetings are held about next steps.. areas of improvement in off season to focus on.. incoming classes and competition for minutes at their positions, etc. Should portal be an option??

A time for honest -straight communication .. Depending on the player's situation.. They are either easy or challenging discussions. Dan/staff will have those conversations with their guys out of respect for the commitment they've made to his Program.. Its the right thing to do..

We had a break through season this year.. Some guys hit it out of the park and earned the right to move on.. Have a Top 5 recruiting class coming in filled with alphas.. Portal adds to consider. We've come a long way in the Hurley Years.

And Im sure guys like Hasson are 1 year deals as others have mentioned. But other than that, Hurley isn’t forcing guys off the team, think a clear example of that has been Richie springs the past few years.

[UofCT]

Solid list

 

[husky429]

That's a really solid list. Must have come with a solid recommendation from our coaching staff.

I was thinking about this yesterday. How much involvement does Hurley have when a player opts to transfer?

 

[Waquoit]

I would think as much as the player asks for. Most of the portal activity to date seems to be cordial. I see that list and all I can say is the brand looks strong right now.

 

[McLovin]

My guess is Colorado State since he was planning to go to Denver before that fell apart and ended up at UConn…

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Hasson now has offers from Southern Indiana (OVC) and Campbell, who is moving to the CAA next season.
