Tarris Reed Jr. is perhaps the only player on the roster with more to give right now, in the present.

The 6-foot-10 , 260-pound center has been inconsistent in his first year with the UConn team.

Reed has been one of the most dominant post threats in the Big East , which is arguably college basketball's most rugged conference.

Reed was a four -star prospect and the No. 35 overall player in the 2022 recruiting class with scholarship offers from seemingly every major program in the Midwest .

He spent two seasons at Michigan under former head coach Juwan Howard , including one as a starter, before entering the transfer portal last March .

Reed averaged 9 points and 7.2 rebounds per game last season for a team that finished 8 -24 overall.

This is still Hurley 's third -best center tandem from the last three years .

Adama Sanogo : 17.2 points, 7.7 rebounds, 0.8 blocks, 4.94 BPR Donovan Clingan: 6.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.8 blocked, 6.23 BPR 2024 Donovan Clingan : 13 points, 13 rebounds, 2.5 blocks, 9.89 BPR Samson Johnson: 5.4 points and 10 rebounds in what was unquestionably the best performance of his career earlier this week .
