The UConn men's basketball program landed a commitment from guard Ahmad Nowell, according to a Sunday tweet from 247Sports.

“I chose UConn because they checked all the boxes and had everything I wanted in a school,” Nowell said, via 247Sports. “From their playing style, coaching style, what they like to do, relationships, players and staff, everything went together. Also and most importantly they're winners. I like to win so everything just clicked.”

The 4-star guard from Imhotep Institute in Philadelphia, Pa., had offers from Georgia Tech, Tennessee, Kentucky, Auburn, Kansas, Memphis and St. John's, according to 247Sports. Nowell will join a 2024 UConn recruiting class that features four-star forward Isaiah Abraham, who committed to the Huskies earlier this month.

UConn's 2023 basketball recruiting class is made up of one 5-star recruit, four 4-star recruits and one transfer. 5-star guard Stephon Castle committed to the program in 2021. Guard Cam Spencer, formerly from Loyola Maryland and Rutgers, transferred to UConn in June.
