UConn’s chances of defending their 2023 national title got a major boost Tuesday night as multiple reports announced that Rutgers transfer Cam Spencer has committed to the Huskies. Spencer, a career 40.5 percent shooter from three, averaged 13.2 points per game last season with Steve Pikiell’s Scarlet Knights.
Spencer was a late entry into the transfer portal but was widely regarded as one of the top shooters on the market after shooting 43.4 percent from deep last season, his first at Rutgers after three years at Loyola (Maryland). He’ll do his best to fill at least part of a Jordan Hawkins-sized hole in the Huskies offense, which prior to Spencer’s addition was lacking consistent shooting skills with the departures of Hawkins and Joey Calcaterra.
