It’s Monday, the first day of a big week coming up for UConn athletics.

Jason Candle will make his debut on Saturday as head football coach when his team hosts Lafayette in the season opener. And Dan Hurley will do what he’s excelled at since he was hired in March 2018 to lead UConn men's basketball: 

Campus visits with some of the nation’s top players.

As expected, UConn has drawn the interest of some of the cream of the crop, with visits set with seven A-list players. The first visitor is scheduled to be combo guard NaVorro Bowman Jr., who plans to be in Storrs, Conn., on Friday.

Of the seven players, five are listed as five-star recruits. Five are ranked in the top five at their respective positions.

While UConn Roundtable has reported on these players individually, let’s take another look at the 2027 prospect group as a whole.

The visit dates are courtesy of 247Sports or the social media accounts of the players.

These are the dates UConn expects to have prospects on campus. The visits could last more than one day.

Sept. 4: NaVorro Bowman Jr.
Sept. 11: Asa Montgomery
Sept. 13: King Gibson
Sept. 19: Cayden Daughtry
Sept. 25: Micah Gordon and Moussa Kamissoko
Oct. 15: Elijah Paez
