UConn Lands Wofford Guard Nils Machowski From Transfer Portal

Overview

• Machowski, whose commitment was confirmed Tuesday by his agent via DraftExpress, chose UConn after visiting Storrs over the weekend.
• He averaged 17.2 points and 5.7 rebounds last season at Wofford and hit 38.2% from three, projecting as instant shooting depth behind returning guards.
• The 6-foot-3 Berlin native began at UCF before a breakout junior year at Wofford that included three 30-point games and a 37-point night against The Citadel.
• UConn’s portal haul now includes Seton Hall center Najai Hines, Duke wing Nik Khamenia, and Stanford center Oskar Giltay, with the roster sitting near 10 players as staff target a power forward.
• Open minutes come from Solo Ball’s medical redshirt, two backups aging out, and freshman Jacob Furphy transferring to Boston College, creating a clear path for Machowski to compete for rotation time.
