UConn has added the services of a high-scoring wing in the class of 2012.

Omar Calhoun, a 6-foot-3 guard from Christ the King in New York, verbally committed to UConn Friday.

Calhoun is ranked by both Rivals.com and Scout.com among the top 10 shooting guards in the class of 2012.

Calhoun’s father, also named Omar, said his son was anxious to play for a winning team in college and UConn’s recent title certainly helped it in his recruitment.

“Definitely one of the biggest factors was the national championship,” Omar Calhoun Sr. said by phone Friday morning.
