2021 Recruiting: Jordan Hawkins Commits to UConn

[Blue Blood]

The fact that we can land these recruits BEFORE making it back to national relevance and regular tourney appearances should scare the hell out of the rest of the conference.

This also won't hurt in our recruitment of Rodney Rice, a 4-star Guard who just transferred to Dematha and also plays for Team Durant.

Me too, but your wife is a close second.

Well done!

I love Dan Hurley more than I love my wife.

That's good because I just forwarded this to Andrea.

I love that he says that he wants to stay for one or maybe two years and just be developed as a player/person. No nonsense or BS. You bring in this type of high level talent and this is what you're going to get. I LOVE IT.

Love this staff. Recruiting essentially got easier for them wth the conference move and instead of just relying on thay, they’ve mashed the gas pedal down

This is awesome. Good for him. And there you have it, they’re clearly fitting him to a similar path to Bouk’s.

Is anyone else reading the tea leaves of how our 2021 recruits are mentioning Andre Jackson as a teammate?

Seems Hurley is pushing the narrative that he'll be around.

I can't wait to go back to MSG the next few years. It will be like reliving my youth. Thanks Danny.

 

[ctchamps]

Not accurate at all. But I’m in a forgiving mood.

This is outstanding.

Hurley built a barrel and now he's shooting fish in it.

Ummm Dave. 4 NCs = Blue Blood.

Hawkins said he plans to recruit a little bit more for UConn going forward. “I’ll do a little bit of recruiting myself,” he said, adding, “I gotta do a little bit more digging.”

That is one of the coolest, humblest commitment announcements I’ve ever seen. Props to you Jordan. Keep that attitude and continue working hard and you’ll be a future Husky great for sure!

The plan for Andre is to be in Storrs for two years. Same as Bouk.

You know what I don't miss? Missing out on Top 10 guys that we were never going to get in the first place and then panic recruiting from YouTube sight unseen from a bar stool.

We're in the Big East and we have elite recruits who fit our system. What a time.

 

[superjohn]

Are you kidding me he posts a Dwight Schrute pic. I love Rahsool already.

And now the same as Hawkins. Think it's a perfect strategy to just keep recruiting that 2 year player and cycle one in and one out to the NBA every year. Bouk/Jackson to Jackson/Hawkins to Hawkins/??? (maybe Roddy Gayle)

Even without Bouknight, that 21-22 team is loaded.

My man speaks very softly ... haha
