Due to graduation and the transfer portal, the UConn men’s basketball team is experiencing the most turnover they have ever had under head coach Dan Hurley. Isaiah Whaley and Tyler Polley moved on after their extra year of eligibility, while RJ Cole and Tyrese Martin elected not to use theirs and turn pro. Combine that with Jalen Gaffney, Corey Floyd Jr., Rahsool Diggins and big man Akok Akok transferring, and it’s obvious that the Huskies will have to be active in the transfer portal.
With all of those departures, UConn now has five open scholarships for next season following the loss of Akok and addition of new guard Tristen Newton.
