UConn men’s basketball big man Adama Sanogo was named an honorable mention AP All-American Tuesday. He’s the first Husky player to earn All-American recognition since James Bouknight (also honorable mention) in 2021.
Sanogo, who also won the USBWA District I Player of the Year award, averaged 16.8 points and 7.3 rebounds per game this season, both the highest marks on the team. He was named to the All-Big East First Team for the second-straight season after posting nine games of 20 or more points and six double-doubles. The Bamako, Mali product joins conference mates Souley Boum of Xavier and Ryan Kalkbrenner of Creighton on the honorable mention list, while Big East Player of the Year Tyler Kolek of Marquette earned a third-team nod.
