Point guard Corey Floyd, a highly-touted member of UConn’s 2021 recruiting class, will redshirt for the 2021-22 season. The school announced the news three days after the Huskies’ season-opening win against Central Connecticut, where Floyd did not dress.
This announcement is not a huge surprise given that Floyd, the youngest player on UConn’s roster this season, originally committed to UConn as a member of the Class of 2022, before reclassifying this summer. He will continue to practice and travel in the team and have four years of eligibility starting next year.
By reclassifying and redshirting, Floyd follows a similar path to Akok Akok and Richie Springs while Dan Hurley has been UConn’s head coach.
