Due to graduation and the transfer portal, the UConn men’s basketball team is experiencing the most turnover they have ever had under head coach Dan Hurley. Isaiah Whaley and Tyler Polley moved on after their extra year of eligibility, while RJ Cole and Tyrese Martin elected not to use theirs and turn pro. Combine that with Jalen Gaffney, Corey Floyd Jr., Rahsool Diggins and big man Akok Akok transferring, and it’s obvious that the Huskies will have to be active in the transfer portal.
With the addition of new guard Tristen Newton and fellow backcourt mate Nahiem Alleyne, the Huskies now have nine scholarship players for the coming season and four open roster spots to play with.
