Nice, Washington transfer.

 

[NYtoCT]

Seems like a huge pickup! Let’s go!

 

[AD DB Burner]

Zakhari was a top 40 CB coming out of high school, ranked 511 overall according to the composite rankings.

On paper, this would seem to be a definite talent upgrade for the back end of the defense.

Side note - I see that UW recently added a verbal commitment from Thaddeus Dixon, the JUCO CB who at one point was committed to UConn in the 2022 cycle, but IIRC never got to campus.

One Husky in, One Husky out…

I suspected he could be coming as both Mora and Hillard had been liking a lot of tweets about him being in the portal

Seattle connections paying off!!

Slide right in to the opening from Wortham using up eligibility/graduating??

Big size like Wortham and another west coaster.

Completely projecting here but having Malcolm Bell and Spears at the CB's gives UConn two big CB's to go head to head with opponents bigger WR's and to bust up those WR screens.

I really like Malcolm Bell… i think he’s going to be a big time player for us… big fast and athletic… and a big time hitter…

[MilliniumPrince]

Now he gets to be a Real Husky.

Welcome home, Husky

Seattle connections paying off!!

Or, potentially Los Angeles connections: Loyala High School, LA ----- Hilliard, UCLA alum coached by Mora

Kaleb Anthony was starting before he got hurt. He should be back by the start of the season.
