UConn Announces Signing of 3-Man Class

UConn announced the signings of guard Makai Ashton-Langford and forwards Tyler Polley and Josh Carlton.

“We are excited to add these three student-athletes to our UConn family,” head coach Kevin Ollie said. “They are people of high character as well as outstanding athletes.”

The 6-foot-2 Ashton-Langford, a guard from Worcester, Mass., is attending Brewster Academy (Wolfeboro, N.H.) this year after transferring from Cushing Academy (Ashburnham, Mass.). A consensus Top 40 recruit, Ashton-Langford played AAU ball for Mass Rivals, where he was a teammate for two years with current UConn sophomore Jalen Adams.

“Makai is a great point guard from the Boston area, where we’ve done a real good job recruiting in the last few years,” Ollie said. “He’s just a great kid. He’s got quickness, he’s explosive, and he can shoot the ball. And he’s with a great program at Brewster as he gets ready to come to UConn.”
