Giltay’s Arrival Fits Hurley’s Vision | Hartford News

UConn just pulled off a major coup by landing Oskar Giltay, a six-foot-eleven European big who can move like a guard — exactly what Coach Hurley craves. Giltay brings elite defense (1.4 blocks per game) and deadly efficiency from the floor (over 60% shooting), even after limited minutes at Stanford. His mobility fits UConn’s system perfectly, contrasting his old-school post role there. He missed six weeks with an ankle injury but returned strong, helping UConn win a scrimmage in his first real practice. Raised across Europe, Giltay thrives on independence and structure — traits honed during long Stanford road trips — and he’s all-in to dominate for the Huskies.
