Favorite Husky of All Time

[Huskybass]

I figured we could all use a positive thread now. Favorite Husky and why. I will chime in soon.

Khalid. The X-factor. The first one with the moxie to believe and make it so. Nothing was ever the same after we broke the seal, and we don’t break it without him. And somehow I knew it from the moment I saw him on the court the first game his freshman year.

Caveat: I previously thought Cup Cormier was that guy.

 

[Bryan Lord]

Caron because Caron. If we could get one more year out of anyone I would pick him.

My favorite Husky who probably isn't most other fans favorite would be Tony Robertson.

Realistically, Kemba.

 

[EBonz30]

Ben Gordon.....

I'm with you on that. Loved his game. TR is high on my list.

I'd probably go with Caron because I liked his story, his game, his hard won success. He was my guy.

Emeka was always my favorite, but Shabazz a close second.

I also wish our players had the tenacity of Tim Coles.

Caron or Emeka. When I first fell in love with the program, I loved watching them play -- it wasn't until I got older that I appreciated what they overcame (Caron) and accomplished (Emeka) off the court.

Best Ever = Kemba
Favorite = Shabazz (probably because I sold him a little short and he proved me wrong)
Game That I enjoyed Watching the Most = Ben Gordon (MSG)
Player That I Respected the Most = Emeka

Rippard Hamilton. Scored over 20 in each of the 6 1999 NCAA Tourney games and always seemed to shine when the spotlight was the brightest. Hit that huge buzzer beater against Washington in 1998 Tourney as well.

The late, great Wesley Bialosuknia, a/k/a "The Poughkeepsie Popper".

 

[FlakeyFoont]

Nadav. He made the Dream Season real and helped set the table that put the program on the map.

Caron... loved watching this kid play in person. I was courtside for this and it just made me appreciate everything he and UCONN brought to the table: hustle, athleticism, smarts, swagger.

Selvie doesn't belong on the list. He is the list.

The late, great Wesley Bialosuknia, a/k/a "The Poughkeepsie Popper".

I can never read this and see anything other than The Poughkeepsie Pooper.

Hilton Armstrong - what he achieved is the pinnacle of what 4 years of college basketball was once about.

 

[JimHurley]

Ryan Boatright. One of the only guys to give 110% every second he was on the court. Kid was 5'10 and played his college career at 150 pounds. The only way to succeed at D1 bball at that size is to out work and out hustle everyone, which is what he did.

Rip was my childhood her0
Kemba was my classmate in Storrs
Shabazz was the most fun I've had watching a player in a UConn uniform

How I'd pick between them, I'd never know
