Dan Hurley reveals what he likes most about UConn’s latest additions

The UConn Huskies’ male college basketball team is coming off a disappointing season. Their struggles weren’t so common for a team coming off back-to-back championships.

Notably, that’s why Dan Hurley knew he had to get to work and bring in some high-level help in the transfer portal. He did so by bringing in forward Dwayne Koroma (Le Moyne), forward Jacob Ross (Minnesota), and guard Alec Millender (IU Indianapolis).

With that in mind, the renowned and controversial head coach sat down with Huskies beat writer Joe Arruda to reveal what these new players will bring to the table:

Dan Hurley raves about UConn’s new commits

“Dwayne is a physical, talented big who can play a variety of roles for us, “ Hurley said of Koroma. “His game experience is extremely valuable, and he is coming off his best season. Dwayne is an efficient scorer and gets on the glass, which is crucial to our success.”

The championship-winning coach then went on to talk about Ross and Millender, both of whom are expected to embrace a big role for his program right out of the gay.

“Jacob Ross obviously comes from a great family we know well and will fit in seamlessly with our culture,” Hurley continued. “He is a gifted athlete who has played on winning teams. We’re excited about his development and can’t wait to get him to campus. Alec (Millender) is a guard that has played in a ton of games and has consistently leveled up. He can score, distribute and has turned into an excellent outside shooter. His toughness and game experience will fit in well with our program.”

Hurley may not be that popular, but he surely knows how to bring the most out of his talents, and it’ll be interesting to see how this team fares after a tough campaign in 2024.
