Senior Darius Adams of La Lumiere School (Ind.) and formerly of Manasquan High School (N.J.) has verbally committed to the Division I University of Connecticut (UConn) Men’s basketball program, yesterday he announced on X, formerly known as Twitter.
He will be joining fellow New Jersey native and Huskies’ head coach Dan Hurley after graduation.
The 6-foot-5 gifted guard held a bevy of D-1 offers from the likes of Alabama, Louisville, Syracuse, Fordham, St. John’s, Notre Dame, Texas, Virginia, Penn State, Rutgers, NC State, Michigan, among other top programs.
As a freshman at Manasquan, Adams, who also played AAU hoops for the PSA Cardinals, led the Warrior offense with 444 points. He added 134 rebounds, 65 assists and 32 steals to his 2021-22 season.
UConn posted a 37-3 overall record and went 18-2 in Big East Conference action in the 2023-24 campaign. The Huskies wound up capturing the NCAA D-1 championship with 75-60 victory over Purdue.
