UConn hosts top recruits NaVorro Bowman Jr. and Demarcus Henry for visits

The UConn men's basketball team is hosting a series of official recruiting visits this month as part of a stretch featuring a dozen high-level prospects. NaVorro Bowman Jr., a combo guard ranked as the No. 14 overall player in the nation, completed an official visit to Storrs over Labor Day weekend. This weekend, the program expects an official visit from Demarcus Henry, who is currently ranked by 247Sports as the No. 3 overall recruit in the country. Both players have notable football connections, which aligns with Dan Hurley’s recent pattern of recruiting athletes with gridiron backgrounds to his basketball roster. Bowman Jr. maintains a busy schedule with upcoming visits to Illinois, Texas, and Arizona, while Henry’s brother, Chris Jr., currently plays as a wide receiver at Ohio State.
