UConn is no stranger to landing graduate transfers that can make a major impact on a team. R.J. Evans from Holy Cross provided a stabilizing presence during the postseason ban year and the transition from Jim Calhoun to Kevin Ollie, while Lasan Kromah from George Washington was an important piece in the Huskies’ 2014 title run. Players like Sterling Gibbs and Shonn Miller turned out to be big-time additions too. Could Tarin Smith and Kassoum Yakwe be next in line?
While it’s very early and the Huskies have played nobody but terrible teams, it seems Dan Hurley’s first crop of grad transfers could be critical in helping this program get back to their winning ways.
