The Husson Eagles basketball team will surely look different in their 08-09 campaign as a key transfer agrees to join Husson in the fall. Jay Uhrin formerly of the University of Maine Black Bear basketball team played for Hampden Academy in high school as he helped the Broncos win a state title in 2005 and were the Eastern Maine runners up in 2006. Urhin, born and raised in Winterport, was a first team All-KVAC his senior year averaging 14.3 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals per game.This is a familiar face to Eagles starter Blaine Meehan who graduated and played for Hampden himself. The Eagles gain a solid foward shooter in the 6'2 freshman. Uhrin promises to be a big offensive power as the Eagles of this past season lacked a true scorer that could be depended upon each and ever night. A small load will be taken off of each of Brock Bradford and Scott Kissinger's shoulders as Uhrin is a decent perimeter shooter and has a good ability to get himself not only to the basket to score, but the freethrow line as well.
Uhrin also has the ability to play well in the post complimenting center Matt Mackenzie. The Eagles lost big man Nick Henry and 3-point shooter Sheraud Lee to graduation, however Uhrin seems to be a decent well rounded player who will fit in very well in my opinion at the D3 level and in the North Atlantic Conference.
