Mar 20, 2025; Wichita, KS, USA; Georgia Bulldogs guard Silas Demary Jr. (5) dribbles against Gonzaga Bulldogs forward Graham Ike (13) in the second half of a first round men’s NCAA Tournament game at Intrust Bank Arena. Mandatory Credit: Nick Tre. Smith-Imagn Images Guard Silas Demary Jr., a two-year starter at Georgia, announced Thursday that he is transferring to UConn.
The 6-foot-5 Demary averaged 13.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.7 steals in 33 games for the Bulldogs this season.
Demary was one of the top guards in the transfer portal. He has two seasons of eligibility remaining.
“Silas is the type of big guard we love at UConn and we can’t wait to get him in the mix,” Huskies coach Dan Hurley said in a news release. “He can score from all three levels, play-make and use his length to guard multiple positions. Silas comes from a great family and will fit our championship culture to a tee.”
Demary improved his 3-point shooting accuracy from 30.3 percent as a freshman to 37.4 percent as a sophomore. He also has 108 steals in 70 college games.
Demary placed a video on his social media accounts detailing his visit to UConn and the decision. He told reporters Thursday that the school’s legacy appealed to him.
“I wanted to be the next great point guard,” Demary told reporters on a conference call. “Obviously, guys that won back-to-back, great guards like Tristen Newton, Stephon Castle, you look back even farther — Shabazz Napier, Kemba Walker. I want to be a part of one of those names. I want to be part of a program that’s been about winning.”
UConn won consecutive national championships before being sent home by Florida in the second round of this year’s tournament.
Demary also visited St. John’s during his decision-making process.

Denílson vê torcida sem paciência no Brasil: “Vaiam com 10 minutos”
Denílson, em discurso no Fechamento SporTV (Reprodução) Denílson, em análise envolvendo o Vasco, quis destacar uma situação atrelada à torcida do clube. Levando em conta que o último título de peso ocorreu em 2011, o ex-jogador vê os cruz-maltinos cada vez mais “calejados” com o clube. Neste cenário, embora o apoio em São Januário seja constante, Fábio Carille, demitido pela diretoria, sentiu de perto a forte pressão pela falta de um desempenho satisfatório. “O torcedor está desgastado com o Vasco. Eles são apaixonados e querem ver o clube jogando sempre bem. Eu não tô errado na minha leitura em relação ao sentimento do torcedor vascaíno, né? Eu assistindo de casa, o time é vaiado pelos torcedores no aquecimento.”, disse Denílson, no Fechamento SporTV.

Hradec přetáhl z Liberce kanadského obránce Melancona
„T.J. patří mezi prověřené a velmi kvalitní ofenzívní extraligové obránce a jsme přesvědčeni, že nám pomůže nahradit odcházející obránce a zlepšit produktivitu našeho mužstva, zejména v přesilových hrách. Jsme rádi, že i přes více extraligových nabídek si vybral právě náš klub,“ uvedl pro web Mountfieldu generální manažer Aleš Kmoníček.Melanconův bodový výkaz je velmi podobný s tím, který měl jeho krajan Blain. Jenže 33letý Blain letos vinou zranění odehrál jen devět zápasů a s Mountfieldem se rozloučil. Ani Melancon letošní ročník neodehrál kompletní, je ale o pět let mladší a ve 42 zápasech zaznamenal slušných 25 bodů (4+19).„Je v nejlepším hokejovém věku, skvěle zapadne do našeho herního systému. Věřím, že pomůže zlepšit produktivitu týmu, a to nejen na přesilovce,“ dodal kouč Hradce Králové Tomáš Martinec.Melancon si v extralize poprvé vyzkouší jiný celek než Liberec. Rodák z kanadské Oshawy předtím působil v Nových Zámcích na Slovensku, kam se přesunul z Ameriky. Za oceánem to dotáhl nejdál do AHL, kde […]

Na sever Moravy cestuje po senzačním druhém místě v závodě pro svou značnou obtížnost zvaném Peklo severu. Borghesiová z týmu EF Education-Oatly zaostala na francouzských silnicích za vítěznou Pauline Ferrandovou-Prévotovou o necelou minutu.„Klasika Paříž–Roubaix byla mým hlavním cílem sezony. Ten závod miluju a bylo neuvěřitelné stát na stupních vítězů. Je to brutální závod, jede se naplno od startu až do cíle, ale právě to mám ráda. Jsem moc šťastná, že jsem dokázala zaútočit v závěru a vydržela až do cíle,“ vrátila se k populárnímu jarnímu monumentu Borghesiová.České silnice, na nichž hned v úvodní etapě do Štramberka okusí i české dlažební kostky, otestuje poprvé v kariéře. „Slyšela jsem, že Gracia je to opravdu krásný závod, který nabízí různorodé profily etap, časovku a také nádhernou […]
