UConn men’s basketball has its fourth Class of 2027 commitment in Jack Thelen, a 7-foot-1 center from Minnesota. Rated a three-star recruit by some, and a four-star by others, Thelen joins guards Navorro Bowman Jr., Jordan Page, and fellow big man Keny Vado on the Husky commitment list.
Playing for Maple Grove HS, Thelen committed to Wisconsin back in June, according to Rivals, but decommitted last month and was down to UConn and Illinois before choosing the Huskies.

Jamie Shaw, who has the center ranked 88th in the country and 13th at his position nationally, said Thelen had a “really good July” on the Adidas circuit.
“Thelen will still need time, but his game is starting to round out,” Shaw wrote. “He might not be a day-one guy, but with patience, there are a lot of positive factors at play with Thelen’s long-term outlook.”
Bowman Jr. and Page are both five-star, top-15 recruits, while Vado is unrated as an international prospect. UConn’s recruiting class is shaping up very nicely given the young talent and depth already on the roster.
