UConn Continues Winning on the Recruiting Trail
Big East Dominance Continues for Huskies
Led by Donovan Clingan and Jayden Pierre, Top Players in the Nation Join UConn's Strong 2025 Class.
The University of Connecticut Huskies are continuing their reign as the top dogs in the Big East conference on the recruiting trail. Led by head coach Dan Hurley, the Huskies have secured commitments from two of the top players in the nation for the 2025 recruiting class: Donovan Clingan and Jayden Pierre. Clingan, a 6'10" center from Connecticut, is ranked as the No. 1 player in the country by ESPN and 247Sports. Pierre, a 6'6" wing from New York, is ranked as the No. 2 player in the country by ESPN and the No. 3 player by 247Sports. These two players are the cornerstones of a strong 2025 recruiting class for the Huskies, which also includes four-star recruits A.J. Storr and Caleb Wooden.
The Huskies' success on the recruiting trail is a testament to the program's strong reputation and Hurley's ability to attract top talent. In his first five seasons at UConn, Hurley has led the Huskies to three NCAA Tournament appearances, including a run to the national championship game in 2021. He has also been named the Big East Coach of the Year twice. With Clingan and Pierre leading the way, the Huskies are poised to continue their success on the court in the years to come.
Clingan and Pierre Bring Versatility and Athleticism to UConn
Clingan is a skilled big man who can score inside and out. He is a good rebounder and shot-blocker, and he has a high basketball IQ. Pierre is a versatile wing who can play multiple positions. He is a good shooter, passer, and rebounder, and he is also a strong defender. Clingan and Pierre are both highly athletic players who can make plays above the rim. They are also both very competitive players who are winners. These two players will be a major boost to the Huskies' lineup in the years to come.
UConn's Strong Recruiting Class Positions Them for Continued Success
The Huskies' strong 2025 recruiting class is a sign that the program is headed in the right direction. Hurley has done a great job of building a winning culture at UConn, and he is now attracting some of the top players in the country. With Clingan and Pierre leading the way, the Huskies are poised to continue their success on the court in the years to come.
