I think it's fair to say that Coleman Hawkins is the most "online" player that we've ever had in this program. It's probably not the greatest thing right now with his potential for "reputation technicals" but it could be absolutely amazing after he's done playing. He could just spend the next decade as a social media superfan menacing the rest of the Big Ten.
There aren't that many four-year players any more. Twenty years from now everyone will remember Coleman Hawkins (just like every fan from 2001 remembers Lucas Johnson.) I hope he has a long successful NBA career but I also hope we as a fanbase start to embrace his unique personality down the stretch. It's been a long road for him as a player with a lot of ups and downs but he's probably our MVP (at least in terms of value over replacement) this season and he's earning his legacy this season.
I hope he finishes the year well and that he stays with the fanbase on social media for years to come.
