2025 Recruiting: Jacob Furphy Commits to UConn!

[auror]

they also have him listed as a SF …..lol

He's going to play SF for us. He's 6'4.5 without shoes, 6'6" in shoes. Same weight that Castle was listed at. He's got 20 some pounds on Mullins.

Will need to ensure they stock the local caf with imported Roo meat for Jake. In talking with our Australian wine tour guide in Austria last summer, was what she missed most. Let’s make this kid feel at home. Andrea get on it it!

 

[I Bleed Blue]

Top 50 guy for sure

 

[Mooch82]

This is the most “wtf” commitment since Drummond

Tell me you haven’t been paying attention without telling me you haven’t been paying attention.

 

[TouchdownHusky]

Does this mean they have stopped recruiting Bundalo? Or that he has eliminated UConn.

 

[HuskyFich]

I think (know) Danny is psycho enough to post this because we’re going for 4 straight championships next year…not because it’s our 4th recruit committed.

 

[gsmooth]

Welcome aboard Husky Nation.

Thank you for choosing UConn, Jacob.

 

[HuskyHawk]

From January:



Sounds like another great pickup!

Yes. I like this.

 

[auror]

Does this mean they have stopped recruiting Bundalo? Or that he has eliminated UConn.

Yes. The former.

 

[alexd]

Love this kid already. Welcome to Storrs.

I continue to wait for our first Lithuanian signing.

 

[superjohn]

Does this mean they have stopped recruiting Bundalo? Or that he has eliminated UConn.

Yes, UConn eliminated Bundalo.

 

[3rdbass]

Great! That happened super fast after everyone was saying it would happen. I didn't expect a night commit but I guess he commited in Australian Time. That should be a wrap to a great class until the transfer marker opens up.

 

[CL82]

The more I watch this the more I feel bad for the Illini

It's nothing they haven't seen before...

 

[3rdbass]

Lets go... I assumed he would do this Wed..

Commited in Australian time. LOL!

 

[dogpause]

"He knows his way to the bottom of the net."

Sounds like a UConn player to me.

 

[caw]

Not the class I thought it would be a year ago but may be a better all around fit. Great job by the staff in finding players.

 

[3rdbass]

A 4* ranking which puts UConn’s recruiting class at #2

Australian wing Jacob Furphy commits to UConn

Jacob Furphy, a 6-foot-6 wing out of NBA Global Academy, has committed to Dan Hurley and the UConn Huskies, sources tell 247Sports.

247sports.com

That wasn't updated totally. Even thought it has 4 recruits it only has 3 recruits in the stars and the same points of 64.37 it had when Mullins committed. This should push us a lot closer to 1 than 3.

 

[3rdbass]

So he’s probably 6’5.5 with shoes on

Or even 6'6" depending on the shoes.

 

[hookshot]

Hahaha valid

Actually Australia is 13 hours ahead now, not 12 hours

 

[formerlurker]

Actually Australia is 13 hours ahead now, not 12 hours

8 time zones down under

 

[Lambeau]

While Karaban, McNeeley, Mullins, and Furphy are famous for their shooting, Nowell, Adams, and Mahany have all had 40% 3pt seasons.
Crazy.

 

[UCTitleTown]

Serious question. Does this signing drop our 2025 recruiting class ranking or are internationals exempt from the cumulative ranking?

None of the class ranking sites go by a strict average, for this reason. They're all cumulative with weighting depending on rank.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

So he’s probably 6’5.5 with shoes on

Well, they use the metric system where he's from so it may not be possible to get his true height.

 

[SouleMan]

This is the most “wtf” commitment since Drummond

DeAndre Daniels?

 

[UCTitleTown]

DeAndre Daniels?

When DeAndre signed with UConn, I told my friend we're winning a national championship in a year or two.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

The more I watch this the more I feel bad for the Illini (my Dad's alma mater). That is just brutal.

Brad Underwood was probably feeling pretty good when he spirited Kofi Cockburn away from Hurley. Then Hurley snagged Adama away from Willard.

 

[KingAG]

Staff recruited Furphy as a small-forward

 

[AdamaNation]

He’s legit grown two inches and become a possible lottery pick during this thread.

He looks like he’s just left a bar brawl is in the middle of one or on his way up a pre scheduled one.

 

[Huskyforlife]

This kid is a hooper. The shot is the elite skill, but he's got nice touch around the basket, and good vision. Wonder if we could have him develop some bully ball at his weight?
