Amida Brimah, the 6-11 shot-blocker from Miami, will make an official visit to UConn this weekend. He'll head up to Storrs on Saturday night and take in Monday's bout with Louisville at the XL Center in Hartford. Brimah, a native of Ghana whose parents still live in that African country, will make the trip with his legal guardian.

Brimah has previously made official visits to South Carolina and La Salle. He has shown great improvement over just the past few months and is drawing a lot of interest from other schools right now.

Here's what Brimah's high school coach, Juan Hernandez, told me about the Class of 2013 big man last week.

Meanwhile, the Huskies face Notre Dame on Saturday at the Joyce Center. It's another chance for UConn to snap an Irish winning streak, and this time Ryan Boatright gets to play along.
