Jaden Ross? MIA

[Hoopcrazee]

Perhaps I've missed something..but what is up with Jaden Ross?....No PT at all?... injured? or worse?

 

[NJHusky]

He was sick.

 

[Kenny11]

He’s our most impressive athlete in lay up lines by far. Next year he should get his opportunity

 

[BGesus4]

He actually doesn’t exist

Hallucinating a recruit/player is a very Chief-esque thing to do. Don't tempt him.

 

[HooperScooper]

From the New Haven Register game article:

Freshman Jayden Ross was unavailable to play on Wednesday due to an illness. The 6-7 forward is averaging 0.8 points and 0.9 rebounds in 12 games this season.

Did they need to include the last line?

bummer for him to have been sick he might have gotten some minutes.

Needed a good laugh this morning. Thank you

You're welcome. A couple years ago Richie Springs was also a beast in layup lines. I think Ross actually will be a player though.

Said it in the post-game thread, but in the little we've seen of Ross, he plays a lot more like a big guard who can get downhill and attack the paint than a traditional forward. I don't know how he is distributing, but his game is a little more like Castle's than I expected.

That makes me think Dan is crazy like a fox. Castle's gone, but Ross, who does some similar things is there at the 3. Stewart offers a lot of what Karaban offers. Dan's sense of roster construction may be his best attribute.

Ross used to be a PG before his growth spurt. He probably has to keep working on his handle but he does seem to have plenty of guard ability and decision making.

For him it’s just about how good does he and the staff see him being because all the tools are there.

Wish Alex would take Stewart under his wing and teach him to cut. No slight intended; Karaban's cutting and smarts are world class.

 

[Staven]

I hope the best for this kid as I'm sure like others he needs to make his bones in practice. I'd like to see him next year assuming he's still here.

When Stewart and Solo play in a mix with the starters they are tentative on their cuts and off ball movement. In the three to five minute blow outs where the second unit is in without starters and when the Glou is in instead of Hassan the off ball movement is quite different with better cutting and constant flow similar to the starters. I use those minutes judging the development of the freshman.

UConn has arguably the five best starting lineup in the country balance wise. Injuries has prevented that lineup from playing together for a good part of the season unfortunately necessitating they play together in practice and games as much as possible during this stretch of the season.

I think a line-up of Hass, Ross, Ball, Stewart, Johnson is a tournament team. I hope we get to see them together all next year

We need a big from the portal. Maybe Yale kid.

Danny Wolf? Some say he's an NBA pick but would love to have him.

Clingan is staying for threepeat

Hopefully we get at least one elite transfer who can start next year and another quality transfer to come off the bench. That young line-up you posted won't keep us at the level we have grown accustomed to the last two seasons.

 

[UCTitleTown]

I agree. He absolutely needs to stay to learn not to foul and improve his conditioning.

This.

Not trying to be that guy but this is not a tournament team

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Stinks for him. Probably could have snatched a 20 piece
