After arriving on campus in the summer of 2019, James Bouknight has pushed the UConn men’s basketball program forward quite a bit in two short seasons.
The New York native is the brightest star the UConn men have seen in some time. He’s a dynamic talent and a projected lottery pick — something UConn hasn’t had since 2012. His presence made Storrs a more attractive destination for other recruits and his head coach credits him for being a catalyst to the renewed excitement around the program.
Wednesday Bouknight announced he would be moving on to the pros, entering his name into the 2021 NBA Draft with the intention of signing an agent.
