A Calhoun will visit UConn soon.
And it’s not head coach Jim Calhoun.
Omar Calhoun, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard from Christ the King who averaged 21 points this season, plans to visit UConn.
“In the next week or so we will take an unofficial visit to UConn,” Omar Calhoun Sr. said by text.
Calhoun’s list includes UConn, North Carolina, Kentucky, Pittsburgh, Villanova, West Virginia, Georgetown, Seton Hall and Maryland.
Although Calhoun Sr. said “UNC is involved,” UConn appears to be the leader at this point.
“[Assistant] coach [Kevin] Ollie has done a fantastic job staying in touch with us and coming to see Omar play throughout the high school season,” Omar Sr. said. “UConn is a leader for Omar’s services.”
Calhoun, who scored 33 points against Mount Vernon in an overtime loss in the New York State Federation Class AA final, is currently in Dallas at the EYBL event stop.

Who is the program killer? Also, why isn’t this guy listed among the list of UConn recruits considering UConn at the UConn website?? Thanks. Hardcore UConn Fan, by the way.
