Center Jack Thelen has committed to the University of Connecticut (UConn) Huskies men's basketball program, adding a promising big man to head coach Dan Hurley's recruiting class. The announcement was reported on November 11, 2026.
Thelen, a center, joins a UConn program that has captured back-to-back national championships under Hurley's leadership. The Huskies' head coach was recently photographed addressing media at the 2026 Big East Basketball Media Day held at the Marriott Marquis in New York City on October 1, 2026.
The commitment bolsters UConn's frontcourt depth as the program continues to reload for another title defense in the Big East Conference.
