Rocket Watts?

[8893]

I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings him 'round again to find
He's not the man they think he is at home
Oh, no, no, no
He's Rocket Watts
Rocket Watts, burning out his fuse up there alone

Yeah Baylor and Kentucky were the 2 other schools reported to have reached out

At this point I have to think its us
It seems to me that Kentucky has turned their attention to Adam Miller and CJ Fredrick
If Mintz returns like I think he will that will only help our chances even more

 

[Austin316]

Likely a good sign for UConn/Rocket

Wow what a roller coaster for Akinjo. Interested to see how he’s used at Baylor.

Is there a lot of talk about Rocket on the UK board? What do their fans/reporters think?

I'm unwilling to go into that cesspool.

All the talk on their board is Adam Miller and CJ Frederick. They had some threads from 2 weeks ago about Watts but they're on the paid site so I can't read them

Insiders update on Rocket? @husky99

Honestly. Heard it was in the bag... now radio silence

I know he’s not quite the player, but his shiftiness and (hopefully) energy off the bench/not as a main scorer could be Davion Mitchell-esque.

Kid has onions and can put the ball in the hole. Thinking a team where he can show his creativity.

was freeman taking the lead on him by chance?

No chance

Maybe our new assistant coach is bringing someone along with him?

I thought the problem is he really can’t put the ball in the hole.

He got his threads mixed up.

@Austin316 made a comment above about James A going to Baylor. My comment was in response to his post..

Sorry for the confusion inside of a Rocket OP.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Honestly. Heard it was in the bag...

I'd be super excited if Watts commits here.

Do I expect him to come in and be a stud? No.

However, does he have the potential to become a stud? Absolutely.

Exactly the type of lottery ticket this team should bring in as I imagine the teams he wants to transfer to cannot promise him the PT he might have thought he could have gotten leaving Michigan State, UConn being one of those teams.

It's all about ceiling with Watts.

This.

We have to trust the coaches. Watts' stats are pretty bad, for both years (other than FT's), but worse his second year than his first. Not close to what was expected from him.
If the coaches feel the MSU offense was not suited for him, or the shots he's taking within their offense are not the best for his skillset, than maybe they think he can be the messiah under their tutelage.
There were lots of other options and we either choked on execution or didn't feel those options were better for our style of play.

 

[UCPharma11]

In Hurley we Trust. Period.

 

[EBonz30]

Watts would be a tremendous addition at the time period we are currently in. Another high end athlete who could defend the ball & has the skill set to be a good offensive player- just needs to put it all together.

@Matrim55 wink on this one or na?

Kentucky has offered on Rocket(another thread).. Seems like SEC BB schools are benefiting from SEC FB banking some money through their boosters/donors. If you know what I'm sayin'

Indeed.
