New University of Connecticut football coach Jason Candle has been hard at work for the last few weeks, building his first roster after taking the job over from the recently-departed Jim Mora.

Friday was the last day for most players around the nation to enter the transfer portal, and while UConn can still recruit unsigned players, a lot of the heavy lifting for teams has now concluded. With that, let's take a look at where things stand for the Huskies, with some help from cfbdepth.com.

--K'Von Sherman, LB (Toledo)

--Jake Merklinger, QB (Tennessee)

--Trey Cornist, RB (Central Michigan)

--Emanuel Ross, WR (Syracuse)

--Kalieb Osborne, QB (Toledo)

--Avery Dunn, LB (Toledo)

--John Lista, LB (Penn)

--Ky Wilson, WR (Youngstown State)

--Tahjae Mullix, DL (Oregon State)

--Zakaih Saez, DL (Oregon State)

--Christian Richter, OL (Marshall)

--Steve Miller, DB (Southern California)

--Matt Ragan, TE (Boston College)

--Melvin Hills III, DE (Texas)

--Cam Abshire, WR (Oklahoma State)

--Cyncir Bowers, RB (West Virginia)

--Zy'marion Lang, WR (Toledo)

--Kamren Flowers, WR (Toledo)

--Renick Dorilas, DB (Rutgers)

--Dominic Rivera, OL (Toledo)

--Raphael Greene-Nyarko, OL (Toledo)

--Jamel Howard Jr., DL (Wisconsin)

--Nathan Pahanich, OL (Wake Forest)

--Jediyah Willoughby, WR (Toledo)

--Alex Godavitarne, TE (D-2)

--There are six wide receivers in that group, and while everyone wants to replace the graduating All-American in Skyler Bell, they won't all get to. Wilson and Ross come to Storrs with extensive experience at their last schools and should be able to impact things right away.

--There are eight former Toledo players on that list, as they followed Candle from his last spot. Just because they previously played for Candle doesn't mean they'll automatically play, but they do have a leg up.

--Merklinger has played slightly less than Osborne, but figures to have the edge in the quarterback competition at the outset.

--Cam Edwards, RB (Michigan State)

--Ben Murawski, OL (Michigan State)

--Carsten Casady, OL (West Virginia)

--Cam Chadwick, DB (Virginia Tech)

--Brady Wayburn, OL (UCF)

--John Neider, WR (West Virginia)

--Mel Brown, RB (Colorado State)

--Stephon Wright, DL (Colorado State)

--Victor Rosa, RB (Ohio)

--Lee Molette III, DB (Arizona)

--Javonte Vereen, TE (Colorado State)

--Alex Honig, TE (Northwestern)

--Nick Evers, QB (Missouri)

--Toriyan Johnson, OL (Colorado State)

--Vincent Carroll-Jackson, DL (Georgia Tech)

--Dominic Toy, TE (Colorado State)

--The UConn men's basketball team will be back in action on Saturday afternoon (12 p.m. ET) against Georgetown. The Huskies are ranked No. 3 nationally.

--The No. 1 UConn women will be back in action on Monday night against Notre Dame.
