Former Wisconsin Badgers commit Jack Thelen has officially announced his new home.
The class of 2027 center is a four-star recruit who committed to UW back on June 13.
Roughly one month ago, he decided playing in Madison was not the move for him. After decommitting, Thelen had official visits with UConn and Illinois, according to 247Sports.
As of Wednesday, Nov. 11, Rivals' Joe Tipton confirmed that the 7-foot-1 center is now going to play for the Huskies.

Thelen officially flipped to UConn almost one month to the date after
he left the Badgers.
For what it's worth, four-star recruits Jalen Brown and Baboucarr Ann are still committed to Wisconsin.
247Sports lists UW as the No. 28 overall class of 2027 while Thelen's commitment pushed UConn to No. 2.
Thelen joins fellow four-star Keny Vado alongside five-star recruits NaVorro Bowman Jr. and Jordan Page in Dan Hurley's class.
