Tristen Newton is our point guard

UConn social media folks have become masters of vaguery lately.

I don't understand all of the angst about Alleyne leaving. Doesn't NA mean NOT APPLICABLE?

Newton needs to clean up his handle. But with a year under his belt in the conference, I think he will get more respect from the refs and become even more effective on the offensive end.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Newton get good minutes at the 1 and 2. Castle didn’t come here to be a backup.

Looking for a potential announcement that Newton and Jackson will be back next year in tomorrow’s social media post.

Good things happen to those who wait.

Tristen just responded, definitely back?

 

[Coach J]

I'd assume for the most part Tristan slides over to the 2 and they let Castle play the 1.

He’s leading us to be on our guard.

Will be interesting to see how that plays out. Newton played a lot better on ball than off ball last year and then Hurley told Castle he’d be the PG.

If Andre comes back I’d figure Timberlake would be the natural fit at Hawkins spot. So it’ll all just be interesting to see how that plays out.

Two years = two championships. Good things come in twos.

He's having a blast with this, fun to watch.

Tristen is just playin' cat and mouse with the Yard.. Buying some time until everything shakes out and there's room for everyone..

The old rope-a-dope trick..

I think Newton and Timberlake signed Boneyard NIL deals with @temery for increasing website traffic. Mission accomplished.
