Tristan Newton is coming back to school per John Fanta. That is huge. Still have to hear about Andre Jackson, but I believe he's going to stay in the draft. On the transfer portal front, Rutgers transfer Cam Spencer has UConn among the 4 visits he is allotted. Spencer is a 6'4" guard who played his first 3 years at Loyola(MD) and last year at Rutgers. He averaged 13.2 PPG and averaged 43% from 3 and 89% from the line so he'd be a nice 1-year replacement for Jordan Hawkins. If Spencer comes and Jackson leaves, here is what I would think would be the starting lineup. Recruiting rankings courtesy of 247sports.com
