    UConn coach Danny Hurley and his staff hosted two key Class of 2019 visitors this week as they attempt to rebuild the program.

    On Thursday, 6-foot-3 Westtown (PA) School and Team Rio point guard Jalen Gaffney visited campus, while on Friday 6-11 Christ the King (N.Y.) and NY Rens big man Kofi Cockburn was on campus.

    In previous days, UConn also hosted Putnam Science (CT) forward Akok Akok and St. Benedict’s Prep small forward Precious Achiuwa, both highly regarded Class of 2019 guys.

    “It was a very relaxed visit,” said AD Gaffney, Jalen’s dad. “They made us feel at home.”

    Canadian star A.J. Lawson is expected to choose his destination on Tuesday.

    The 6-foot-7 Class of 2018 wing is down to Creighton, South Carolina and Tulane, GTA Academy coach David Cooper told ZAGSBLOG. Oregon and SMU are no longer in the mix.

    Lawson has now visited all three of his remaining options.

    “Coach [Greg] McDermott is a great guy and the campus and style of play fits AJ pretty well,” Cooper said of Creighton.

    On Tulane: “Coach [Mike] Dunleavy is a phenomenal coach and a great basketball mind. [Lawson] likes him as a coach and really likes the city.”
