Steve Enoch visiting UConn this weekend, expected to commit

UConn lost out on a highly-touted big man Djery Baptiste, a 7-footer who pledged to Vanderbilt on Wednesday.

But the Huskies are likely to get much better news this weekend when Norwalk's Steve Enoch makes his official visit to Storrs.

Enoch, a 6-foot-10 Class of 2015 center, is expected to commit to UConn during the visit, according to a source. And it's very possible he may not even wait around until Monday to make his pledge.

UConn has long been Enoch's "dream school." His family is UConn fans. He was slated to make some trips out West and to some other major programs, but put them off. He was slated to visit URI, but that's been cancelled, as well. The Rams, apparently, don't want to waste an official visit on a kid who almost certainly is heading to UConn.

So, UConn fans can expect some good news by Monday. Or even Sunday. Or Saturday.

Elsewhere, it appears Kevin Ollie had a good in-home visit with Derrick Jones on Thursday. And UConn is apparently back in the Isaiah Briscoe sweepstakes now. Briscoe, who broke his foot out in Las Vegas in July and missed the rest of the summer AAU season, is expected to make an official visit to Storrs on Sept. 26, per Adam Zagoria.
