On Wednesday, the UConn Huskies men's basketball team locked in several top recruits for the Class of 2027.

That continued the good recruiting vibes in Storrs, as the UConn women's basketball team locked in top recruit Sydney Savoury over the weekend.

And on Wednesday, Savoury was named to the watch list for the 2026-27 Naismith Trophy High School Player of the Year award, per Maggie Vanoni.

Savoury, a native of Canton, Mich., chose UConn over UCLA, Notre Dame, USC, Texas and North Carolina. Being nominated for this award obviously puts her as one of the top players in the country. ESPN has her ranked as the No. 9 player in the Class of 2027.

Savoury has represented Team USA on the international circuit, helping lead the Americans to the gold medal at the 2026 FIBA U18 Women's AmeriCup. She averaged 5.8 ppg and 3.2 rebounds in five games. She was named to the U18 national team in June.

In the 2024-25 high school season, she averaged 27.7 ppg and 7.1 rebounds. She was the Gatorade Michigan Girls Basketball Player of the Year. Her mother played basketball at BYU, so the game is certainly in her DNA.

Listed at 6-foot, Savoury will likely operate in a shooting guard or small forward role, depending on the lineup combination.

For instance, Allie Ziebell, a guard on this year's team, is also 6-foot. Ashlynn Shade is 5-foot-10. Blanca Quinonez, who is up for the Small Forward of the Year Award, is 6-foot-2, so Savoury will sit somewhere between all of those players.

Of course, it's not easy for any player to earn significant minutes as a freshman for the Huskies, but current players Jovana Popovic and Olivia Vukosa are doing it.

Popovic has become a starter and has turned into one of the most valuable players on the roster through three regular season games and three exhibition games.

Ranked No. 4 in the nation and coming off a 12-point win against No. 10 Iowa on Sunday afternoon, the Huskies are back in action on Thursday night at No. 17 Ohio State.

This will mark the third straight Big Ten opponent for the Huskies, who also lost to Michigan last week.

Tip-off time is set for 6:30 p.m. ET and the game will air on FS1. We took a look on Thursday morning at three things we'd like to see in this contest, including our desire to see the group get a little less Sarah Strong-dependent.
