Kid is destined for greatness. Thank you for being a huge piece of bringing us #6.
Role model for all future Freshman, and will be on the wall soon.

Good like Stephon! I’m really excited for his NBA future. His defense and ability to get to the rim will immediately translate. If he can develop a good three point shot, this is an All Star caliber player.
Guys like Boo Buie and Terrence Shannon were star P5 scorers who are 4 years older than him. Made them look like kids. I think he can do that to NBA players too

My favorite quote of the season that I would say to my friends ad nauseum and they would heavily roll their eyes every time... "Stephon Castle's athleticism reminds me of me"

The last couple of years have made the "who's the best 1/2 year player in program history" debate much more challenging.
Castle became everything we needed him to be -- a more than adequate replacement for Andre Jackson, a willing defender, a willing complementary piece who nevertheless brought unique talents to our team.

With this many kids exiting, you have to ask are there clubhouse issues?

Really, it's hard to imagine this happening to a better kid. He was focused, determined, coachable and a great teammate. Something to keep in mind, we've only seen the smallest cusp of his talent. Look forward to watching him grow in the NBA.

I trust that Stephon enjoyed his 1 year ride with UConn nation as much as we enjoyed having him. He will forever be remembered in Husky lore.

It was such a pleasure watching him this year. He was a defensive stopper and his offense improved all year. When he develops a more consistent shot (and he will) he is an all star level player.

Steph did exactly what he said he'd do when we recruited him. Help go for another championship and be one and done. Was an awesome freshman, team player, showed great talent and lockdown D. Can't wait to see him rewarded in the draft and wish him the best in the NBA. Thanks Steph!

RELOAD FOR A 3-PEAT BABY!
Thanks for the memories, Stephon. Best freshman to play in a Husky uniform...perhaps ever.

With the way NCAA is trending, I'm assuming in 5 years or so those players with unused College eligibility will likely be able to return to College and play again once their NBA careers are over.
