UConn men’s basketball has been a major player on the graduate transfer market since 2012. UConn has relied on these transfers to inject experience and leadership to the roster each year, and Dan Hurley has extended the tradition for the 2018-19 season. The first of the two graduate transfers we’ll profile is Tarin Smith, who comes to Storrs after spending the last two years in the Atlantic 10 at Duquesne University.
Smith spent the first two years of his college career in the Big 12 with Nebraska, but even before that had gotten a taste of the Hurley experience.
