UConn's frontcourt will see some competition for playing time

The last two college basketball seasons ended with the UConn Huskies cutting down the nets as a two-headed monster at center helped them do it both times. In 2023, Adama Sanogo started while Donovan Clingan contributed off the bench, and in 2024 Clingan started while Samson Johnson provided the frontcourt bench spark.

This year, Johnson is joined by Michigan transfer Tarris Reed Jr., and playing time up top may see a more even split as a result.
