UConn is #10. I know it is super early, but it's good to see that we are that high on the list. I expect UConn to only go higher!

Who they have: Kevin Ollie returned to his California roots to make an early splash with ESPN 100 swingman Daniel Hamilton. The 6-foot-6 Hamilton plays the game with an aggressive scoring mentality and will have the opportunity to put points on the board right away. Hamilton already has his running mate picked out in NC State transfer Rodney Purvis, another aggressive playmaker who likes to get out in the open floor. Put those two together and you not only have a potentially high-scoring perimeter tandem, but also the basis of a team that promises to play an exciting brand of basketball.
Who they want: With two-thirds of his backcourt pretty well solidified for the future, Ollie will focus on building up the Huskies' frontcourt while potentially also adding an insurance policy at the point guard position. Another California native, Jordan McLaughlin, would be an ideal commit at the point, while local New England products like Abdul-Malik Abu, Goodluck Okonoboh and Pascal Chukwu are some of their top targets up front, as well as others like Chinanu Onuaku and Malik Price-Martin. You can't even rule out the addition of another long athlete on the wing, as it is very clear that Ollie intends to push the tempo to the max.
