Donnell Beverly Brings The Bling To Uconn

Donnell Beverly will be lonely this year with being the only incoming freshman for the Uconn Huskies. This California guard wasn’t highly recruited but Calhoun always finds gems in the lower power rankings. Beverly is a solid 6-4 and 180 pounds and has the ability to get into lanes and break down defenses. He doesn’t have a consistent long range shot yet and has trouble creating space but his speed and quickness will be an asset.

He has an uphill battle for playing time with a group of seasoned veteran guards already slated in front of him but if players like Austrie or Wiggins don’t improve then Beverly could steal their minutes. With Calhoun stressing pushing the ball more this year, it plays into Beverly’s game.

Not only does Donnell have game off the court but also shows a passion for the rap game. Affiliated with a group called, The Yung Bosses, he raps on a few tracks. Hopefully he brings his flare and tenacity to this team which lacked the killer instinct. I just hope he stays on the straight and narrow and doesn’t let the bright lights and fast talkers derail this talented kid. His skills on the court far outshine any bling he could put around his neck.
