County, one of the top five shooting guards in the 2026 class, chose the Huskies over a final list that also included Arizona, Indiana, Maryland and Purdue. After taking trips to each of his other finalists, County took his final visit to UConn last weekend, when the Huskies made their final pitch and secured his commitment."
"A 6-foot-4 combo guard who plays for Wasatch Academy (Utah), County is the No. 43 player overall in the SC Next 100, ranking as the No. 4 shooting guard. What stands out about County is his scoring versatility, along with his consistent intensity. County averaged 13.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists for the Utah Prospects on the Nike EYBL circuit last spring and summer, including a pair of 20-point outings and two games in which he knocked down four 3-pointers."
""It was the feeling I got while watching practice, talking to [Dan] Hurley and going around campus," County told ESPN on Thursday. "I believe I'll be able to develop and grow into the best version of myself while I'm there.""
