Jacob Ross was originally committed to Minnesota
Jacob Ross, who stands 6-foot-5, graduated from SoCal Academy and got offers from Kansas, VCU and Old Dominion programs.
Ross originally committed to the Minnesota Gophers in October 2024. However, he requested his release from the school in late March. Then the SoCal Academy graduate visited UConn last week before making his commitment official.
Ross' commitment comes after veteran guard Alex Karaban announced his decision to return to the Huskies ahead of next season. He also made one of the 11 scholarship spots in the team, with four more spots available.
Meanwhile, other incoming freshmen include Jacob Furphy, Braylon Mullins and Eric Reibe, among others.
