BIG EAST RECRUITING UPDATE: CONNECTICUT
December 31, 2008
VERBAL COMMITMENT ALERT: Jamaal Trice, 6'4 SG from Mt. Zion (NC) Christian Academy via Los Angeles
Projected 2009-2010 Roster:
Seniors: Jerome Dyson (G), Jonathan Mandeldove (C), Stanley Robinson (F), Gavin Edwards (PF/C), Hasheem Thabeet (C)
Juniors: Donnell Beverly (G), Chukwuma "Charles" Okwandu (C)
Sophomores: Kemba Walker (PG), Scottie Haralson
Freshmen: Alex Oriakhi (C), Jamal Coombs (F), Jamaal Trice (SG)
The recruiting news out of Storrs has been rather quiet. With the only two players to sign with UConn in the fall, Alex Oriakhi and Jamal Cooms, being committed to the Huskies since their sophomore years, recruiting in the 2009 class has been slow. However, the Huskies have been attempting to fill a need at shooting guard and looks to have found their man as UConn Gets a Commitment from Jamaal Trice (Waterbury Rep-Am) during a recent visit.

Jamaal Trice finished up a high school career at powerful Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana (CA) abd headed off to do a year of prep basketball at Mt. Zion Christian Academy in Durham (NC). It looks like the move paid off as Trice is now a committed player in the class of 2009 for the Connecticut Huskies.
Trice played on an always loaded mater Dei team in 2007-2008 and averaged around 10 points a game. He will join Tilton School teammates Alex Oriakhi and Jamal Coombs-McDaniel as 2009-2010 freshmen for the Huskies.
Some of UConn's recruiting needs and priorities have been scrambled a bit since the fall as Nate Miles, a 6'7 wing, and 6'10 forward Ater Majok are not with the team. Miles was dismissed from school in his first month on the UConn campus. Majok has yet to be cleared by the NCAA eligibility clearinghouse. His saga is ongoing, he could still join the program for the later part of the 2008-2009 season. UConn begins their spring semester in three weeks, so we will know by then.
On paper, UConn has one scholarship remaining for 2009-2010. It is expected that Hasheem Thabeet would turn professional, which would open an additional scholarship. Expect UConn to be int he mix with some top players that either are, or become eligible in the spring recruiting period.
