FWIW, 247 has Polley as a UConn lean over Florida State which does not appear to have made his Final 5:

However he isn't even a top 100 recruit and just snuck into the top 150. I am also wondering how interested UConn is.

Considering UConn had him in here for an official visit, I'd say they are very interested in him. He has another official visit to Tennessee scheduled this weekend. Pitt's the other school that is really involved with Polley, so we'll see if they are able to get him in for an official visit. If not, I wouldn't be surprised if he makes a decision in the next few weeks.
HoopSeen seems pretty high on Polley...here's a write-up on him from mid-July:
Heading into the spring evaluation periods, there was a lot of interest for Tyler Polley. The 6-foot-8 forward had grown another inch but also incorporates a mixture of ball skills, passing abilities, and a smooth stroke that leads to a very difficult matchup out on the perimeter. However, the past few months haven’t been all that great but things have gotten back in the right gear for the E1T1 product.
While he still does have to get stronger in handling contact better around the basket along with developing a low-post game in creating more difficult matchup issues, there is a lot of upside and potential with the Sagemont School product. On Wednesday, the slender bodied forward showed off improved play making skills out on the break as he took the ball off of the defensive glass, didn’t get sped up whenever his defender picked him up, and made the proper dish near the lid.
Within the half-court setting, Polley can really go to work off of the wings of the floor. He has a deadly mid-range pull-up jumper that he hits with confidence and balance to go along with quality composure as he never forces the drive to the basket. More of a face-up power forward than a 3-man, Polley would be great within a dribble-drive, open floor based offense that he is surrounded next to go a bunch of tough and aggressive guards that like to drive and attack the gaps of the defense.
