Jordan Hare’s rim-protection pop was real — but his URI story is long past its peak
In the 2012-13 season, Jordan Hare flashed real defensive value for Rhode Island, ranking among the Atlantic 10’s best shot-blockers and finishing with 49 blocks, 35 dunks, and 58.5% shooting from the field. His calling card was length, timing, and vertical pop around the rim — the kind of frontcourt presence that changes shots even when he isn’t scoring much. The catch: his college career with URI did not develop into a sustained current-impact role, so he reads more like a historical upside piece than an active fit for a present-day roster.
