Sacred Heart University's men's basketball roster includes six players with connections to Connecticut, highlighting the program's local recruiting pipeline.
Among them is redshirt freshman guard Kevin Pikiell, son of former UConn standout and current Rutgers head coach Steve Pikiell. The younger Pikiell was seen discussing strategy with Sacred Heart head coach Anthony Latina during a recent practice.
Latina and Steve Pikiell previously worked together as assistant coaches at Central Connecticut under Howie Dickenman, adding another layer to the Connecticut basketball network surrounding the program.
