2026 Recruiting: Miikka Muurinen offered

[Scottzer]

The Finns love to booze. Scary how much they can drink.

This is true. But, typically quiet, introverted, private, and reflective. Good chance he prefers CT to somewhere like Kentucky, UNC or Duke. If he comes, somebody please let him know he can come to my sauna, and that I will not call it a saw-na. Ours gets up to 240.

Lauri Markkanen clone.

I thought that just on the size, description and country. No need for tape.

I hear he has a great slapshot too.

Between Muurinen, Bundalo and Reibe the staff is definitely going for a certain type of athletic/shooting big guy. I am excited to see any of these guys in our offensive system.

​

I cant even imagine how devastating an athletic 7 footer who can shoot, drive and dish in Hurleys offense would be. It wouldnt even be fair to add that to this type of explosive offense. Im all for it.

 

[Umami Zen]

Agree.

Also the first offer for the 2026 class. Has the staff offered anyone this early ? Maybe because the suggestion of reclassifying to 2025 was mentioned ?

He said he's "not sure" about potentially reclassifying into 2025 and that he's "not done any research on that."

Jordan Smith Jr ?2026.. Both would be great in Storrs

We had shown interest in him but it appears the official offer went out late Thursday afternoon.
And he is a stud player.
