UConn basketball adds transfers Oskar Giltay and Na'jai Hines at center

UConn men's basketball has secured transfers Oskar Giltay and Na'jai Hines to enhance their center position for the 2026-27 season. Head coach Dan Hurley expressed confidence in this duo, particularly Giltay, who has impressed during summer practices. Giltay, a 6-foot-11 sophomore from Stanford, exhibits strong defensive skills, while Hines, also a 6-foot-11 sophomore from Seton Hall, brings substantial size and shot-blocking ability. Both players are expected to play critical roles as the team looks to build on their existing strong backcourt. Practices have indicated that the pair may be a key factor in UConn's performance this season.
