The one-week early signing period for men’s and women’s basketball student-athletes began on Wednesday. UConn men’s basketball had five verbal commitments throughout last fall and earlier this year, with all five officially becoming part of the program.
The class is ranked in the top five by most recruiting outlets and is headlined by Stephon Castle. The 6-foot-6 combo guard is the highest-ranked prospect that Dan Hurley has added since becoming UConn’s head coach. Castle committed in November 2021.
Hurley was quiet until the following June, when things got hot. Three-star wing Jayden Ross made his commitment on June 27.
