The American Athletic Conference is still trying to find it’s way and identity as a basketball conference. One program isn’t waiting for everyone to catch-up to the status of a high-major program.
In fact, Connecticut has reeled in a class that is a good as any group the program has seen over the last 15 years.
The Huskies are reeling in talent from coast-to-coast, just like the days of Jim Calhoun. Kevin Ollie and staff have stayed the course for UConn recruiting standards. After a so-so season last year, this class should have Huskie fans excited.
The Huskies have four solid commitments and addressed several needs. Alterique Gilbert and Juwan Durham are among the top players at their respective position nationally. Vance Jackson is the No. 51 overall player in the composite rankings and big man Mahadou Diarra, a top 120 player, is a perfect four-year piece to a championship level team.
This UConn class is the best class (and probably better than) the 2006 group that was considered the No. 4 overall class. That group had Hasheem Thabeet, Stanley Robinson, Curtis Kelly, Jerome Dyson and others.
The class of 2010 (Jeremy Lamb, Shabazz Napier and Roscoe Smith were the headliners) played a big role in the team’s National Championship run.
Just how good is this 2015 class? Potentially better than all of them from a top-to-bottom talent grade. National Championship good? Who knows. No one would have guessed the 2010 class would have won a title as this stage of their careers.
If you are a UConn fan, there’s justifiable excitement for next season and year’s beyond. This class could write a new chapter in an already storied history in Storrs.

Miller Grove guard Alterique Gilbert is a great fit for Connecticut and head coach Kevin Ollie. He fits the mold of everything that successful guards have been for the Huskies. Parts of his game resemble that of Ryan Boatright, Shabazz Napier, and Kemba Walker, which could mean special things for Gilbert at UCONN.

Alterique Gilbert shows off his bounce with WINDMILL
Gilbert has been in the lab working out with trainer Robert Swain ( Former Uconn Husky) of Swain Basketball Academy. Swain says they have been focusing on his midrange, penetration and conditioning. “We get 5,000 shots up a day”, said Swain.
