He was a top 100 player let us not forget. Some of you were saying he was going to start at the beginning of the year.

I don't think talent was the issue, I think he had a bad work ethic once he got here and didn't show any real want to give the effort needed to improve. Coming in out of shape from the start wasn't a good sign.

All I can really go by is what I see mixed with expert analysis. What I saw was one or two highly inconclusive highlight videos and his rare appearances for us. You can’t tell much from short garbage time appearances, but it’s really obvious when someone’s not very athletic. Sort of jumps off the screen.

His overall skill level is harder to judge.

Landers Nolley II will transfer from VT and Bama is in contact. Probably the best transfer on the market

Speaking of, here's a pretty good site for keeping up with transfers.

Come on, talent was the exact issue. I said when we signed him he was mid-major at best.

The fact that he couldn't earn playing time this year with our inside game says all you need to know about Hawkins.

Kid has more talent than Galin Smith just from looking at his high school film. I think he was just lazy.

UConn, Rhode Island and Alabama have also reached out to Quinnipiac big man Kevin Marfo, he tells me. Again, Marfo is a grad transfer who led college basketball in rebounding at over 13 per game last season and is immediately eligible.

I feel like this is how he’s gonna do things at Bama. He’s gonna rely on transfers for the most part. I’m cool with that too if it’ll work.

I don’t care if it’s transfers, commits, a grad transfer, etc., I just want 12 guys that can play basketball.

Dribble, drive, pass, shoot. Don’t sign a player if they can’t do all 4.

I’m tired of players on this team that can only do 1-2 things good (Reese, Galin, Forbes, Dazon, Avery Jr, Ar’Mond Davis, Kessens, Giddens, etc). Get me 12 all around players, & turn them loose with Oats’ offense

247 had him at 109. I dont get why yall think he sucks. His film proves he can play. Just wasnt fit here or something.

I promise you, as of right now he is not good. Tyler Barnes was getting minutes ahead of him. He may get stronger and develop into a good player down the road, but he isn’t a D1 player as of right this second, imo

Hawkins couldn’t get playing time over Galin Smith. The End.
