Cam is a beast!!!!

[Jaydumo20]

That out of bounds tussle with 5:30 left. Dude popped up like Walter Payton and booked it to the other end like nothing happened. A legend in storrs. 4 months in

Cam has been phenomenal. Much as we all loved Joey California, Cam is two steps up from him. I can't wait to see the next diamond in the rough DH & team dig out of obscurity.

Besides being a truly great player, he gives us that edge. Doesn't back down from anyone, pisses the players and fans off from the other team, and fires his teammates and crowd up.

He should be in the mix for Big East Player of the Year but he won't be.

 

[Huskybass]

Most impactful portal player this year. We had no idea he would be THIS good.

Cam said something like “B… look at the scoreboard and shut up”. Glorious.

 

[Scoe]

Man that deflection near the end was the was equivalent of a safety taking away an easy td when your up 30 ish pts, looks unintimidating and he will just jack you up and the opponent doesn’t know what hit him. With Ajax in the crowd he’s gotta be loving it, Doc Rivers is really not gonna be giving him playing time now lol.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Cam has an edge to him that few players who were here had (and I believe this will play a huge role in how we do in the dance).

Prior to last year's NCAA tournament, even the better DH teams had diffulty stepping on the necks of opponents, when in position to put the game away (a few years ago against both Seton Hall, later against Creighton, we had almost insurmountable leads that we let slip away. Last year's BET against Providence went from a massive blowout to a nailbiter). We need someone who, if we're up by 15 will be hell bent to stretch it to 20. If we're up by 25, to 30, and not be apologetic about it. Cam has that about him. We're going to need it in the coming month and a half.

The best argument yet for the edge this team has on last year's. Similar talent but this team has more gas in the tank. Donny kept saying how Hurley has them treat every possession as a chance to execute perfectly. If you're that zoned in, you never rest on your lead because you now are competing against yourself.

 

[Yanksrock615]

I’m really happy for Cam man. In his presser, Hurley said something like “no one deserves this more than Cam. To experience this feeling of being on the top of the food chain from college basketball.” Could not agree more

 

[Kolumbo]

Since Cam has his own thread, I know we all feel the same way. We want more!

There have been some stories about Spencer and Karaban and the gym rats that they are when it comes to working on their game and skills…..

I was at last weeks Georgetown game and got in early to watch the pregame shoot around. I was focusing on Spencer for much of the pregame and he was so in to his own mental zone that I don’t think he talked to one teammate leading up to tipoff.When the guards were together working on their drills he was by himself going through the sets at game speed while others were talking, laughing and doing the drills at half speed. He was the same when they split into layup lines and he was also the last one off the court before they went into the locker room.
The dude just oozes professionalism and he will have a career in basketball some where once he leaves UConn.

 

[NH Husky]

He is the personality replacement for Andre, albeit a completely different game.

 

[HCCForever]

I love how he was more excited after one of his assists than he was after making a basket.

I saw him laughing in the postgame handshake line after interacting with one of the Marquette players. Any idea what that was about?

 

[temery]

Watch him run the court. His head is never down. He's always looking ahead.

 

[HCCForever]

I have heard it mentioned multiple times that Cam’s lacrosse experience contributes to his court awareness.

[Shamon30]

Jeff Adrien probably comes closest in terms of the edge factor

 

[alphasigko]

Cam = MVP of this team, where would they be w/o him?

 

[HailUConn]

Cam is just competitive to the core! There was a story that he lost the 3 point shooting to Karaban in the opening night and he did not talk to anyone that night.

 

[RedStickHusky]

Since Cam has his own thread, I know we all feel the same way. We want more!

At least the year he gets will be profoundly impactful for him. Did we really swing and miss on Timberlake or did we just move on from him? Either way, the BB Gods were looking out for us.

 

[uc1990]

I know if I was the other teams fans I would hate him. So glad he is on our team and I can love him. I know all these guys care about winning but no one can say they care more than cam Spencer.

Better than wasting it at Rutgers

edge & fire the likes of Vital but more skill

Just watched this five times. Incredible

 

[cohenzone]

When he is in traffic he uses his body so well to finish around the hoop. Just a smart player, kind of like Sanogo.
