This is awesome.

No. 11 scoring, No. 14 rebounding, No. 22 assists. We can definitely pull into the top 10 in the first two within the next couple of years as long as Kemba, Andre & Rudy all keep it up, but we definitely need to start putting more guys into the league again.

EDIT: Also, we're ahead of Syracuse in 2 of 3 (pts & rebounds) and Georgetown in 2 of 3 (pts & assists)

 

[BoatShow]

500 assists behind Cincy. Damn you, Oscar Robinson!

Just took a good, deep dive into the list. To give you an idea of how good we've had it over the last quarter century:

We have had as many 10,000-point NBA scorers (7) as Kansas, which is more than Kentucky or Indiana (6 each), and more than Syracuse & Louisville (3 each) combined.

Every single one of our guys in the 10k point club (Cliffy, Donyell, Ray, Rip, Caron, Ben, Rudy) started their pro career in 1990 or later. We'll get our 8th 10k point guy in the next couple of years (Kemba), and the 9th (Andre) a few years after that.

Kentucky will have passed us by then, since Cousins, Wall, Davis, Knight, Bledsoe, KAT, Randle and Booker all look like legit NBA scorers. But we should take a minute to appreciate how much talent has come through Gampel.

Huh, ive been told for years that UConn basketball didnt exist before 20 years ago, yet I open this all time nba ranking and we seem to be top 10 in almost every single statistical category, weird.

Regardless, we need to get our NBA footprint back up to elite status, because in todays age it is one of the biggest factors in recruiting. Luckily, we have potentially one of the 5 best guys in the country for truly understanding what it takes to become an NBa player, and recruits will start realizing this.

Ahead of Gtown in scoring and they have four HOF.

hopefully he starts showing it soon. Daniel Hamilton is not a good example and Amida probably won't be either after he was being talked about as a lottery pick before. Hopefully Jalen can change the tides.

Brimah was barely a top-250 recruit. You were expecting him to turn into a lottery pick?

 

[Palatine]

That helps back up our "blueblood " argument.

 

[Matrim55]

He updated it with blocks as well. We're 10th, and will almost certainly climb into 9th next year as long as Andre & Rudy stay healthy.

 

[willie99]

and we're the new kids on the block, first becoming relevant on the national stage in 1989/1990

I think we'd be top 5 in everything in modern era (after JC)

How about a Last 25 years list?

You can get the #s here if you want to crunch them:

NBA & ABA Players Who Attended University of Connecticut | Basketball-Reference.com

Just from eyeballing it: Going by players who entered the league in 1990 or later, we have 7 10,000-point scorers, as do Duke & Arizona. UNC has five, but also guys like Jordan & Daughtery who entered a few years earlier than the (arbitrary) cut-off.

Since 1990 I'd guess that we're near the top of the list for literally every category, along with Duke, Arizona, UNC and Kentucky (the sheer volume of players UK has put into the league in the last 7 years means they're almost certainly there, and will top everyone across all categories soon enough).

Also worth noting: The only NBA player of any note before the Calhoun era was Toby Kimball. He had a solid 8-year career and still has the 7th-most total rebounds of any UConn product in NBA history.

There was talk of Brimah being a future lottery pick with his size, athleticism and defense. NBA DraftExpress had him as one of the top NBA prospects in the AAC after his freshman year. Injuries seem to have derailed his development from his sophomore to junior year though. Hopefully a healthy summer and guidance from NBA evaluators help him have a Hilton Armstrong like senior season.

Yes, there was a bit of hype after he already got here and started performing better than expected, but if you think Brimah will serve as some sort of cautionary tale to recruits, you're seriously misjudging the situation.

Well, the people talking that up should have known better.
