I have a distinct memory of a French player on our roster in the early to mid 90’s. Rarely played, had an exotic name that was pronounced nothing like it was spelled. May have only been around for one season.

Can’t find him on any of the reference sites.

Anyone recollect this player?
 
I don't see anyone. We had a couple American players with French last names (Cornier, LeBlanc) but unless it wasn't an apparent French name. You can use the link to view as many years as you want

1995-1996

Sami Ameziene played in the mid-2000s and became a successful comedian in his native France. That the guy?

Ameziene was actually the back up point in ‘05, when we lost in the second round to NC State in Worcester.

Wow, i vividly remember that team, and especially that game, and that name is completely foreign to me. I wonder how i forgot that.

You sure it wasn't a player on the Women's team?

He didn’t play much. Maybe 4 or 5 minutes a game giving Marcus Williams the minimum rest possible.

This is the worst answer in the history of the Boneyard.

You thinking of Covington Cormier? Don’t think he was French though?

Update - this is the worst answer in the history of the Boneyard.

Marc Suhr maybe? He was German I believe.

HFS, if there is ever an answer worse than this, I swear to God I will throw myself out a window.

Antric Klaiber doesn't fit the pronounciation part of your question, but maybe?

Either way, a somewhat interesting story follows...

Klaiber v. United States, 471 F. Supp. 3d 696 | Casetext Search + Citator

And there is the ever-enjoyable Boneyard handle @Cassius Klaiber.

Without more information from you, I have no opinion on whether you're crazy or not.

Quite possibly one of the greatest Boneyard posts I've ever read.
 
Sorry, I have to say you're crazy... Gilad Katz (at least the first name pronounced sounds French) but he was Israeli. Didn't play a lot.

I feel like this thread still has a Justin Srb or a Karsten Kibbe in it before we’re done.

We did recruit a French kid at some point - I cannot remember his name, but I think he opted to stay in France as a pro. We also scouted Ajou Ajou Deng at a youth tournament in France, but he was living in London.

I have absolutely no idea who you might be thinking about.
 
I would need more information than this Andrew to know if you’re crazy.:)

This would be the way!

Cormier is definitely a French name
Covington Cup Cormier was Cajon
i believe this is him in his high school year book
That as close to French as we can get

I think I know who you mean, except he wasn't French, although he lived in France, and he wasn't so much a basketball player for UConn in the 90's as an expressionist painter in the 19th century. I'm thinking Vincent Van Gogh, pronounced by some Van Go, although more accurately Van Goff where the second 'g' is silent and the final 'h' is pronounced like two [letter censored] as in Final Four. As an Acadian (Cajun) myself, I can tell you it wasn't Covington Cormier, who wasn't, to my knowledge, even a painter.

I wanted to have you hanged for the mojo. There is some unwritten rule we can't hang someone twice but if you could have been in consideration I would have suggested you do this type of thing as your sentence. You have been miserable since shortly after the 2014 championship and this forum has sorely missed your brilliant wit and quips. A sentencing would have forced the issue.

Anywho it's good to see you back in this manner.

For consistency I have spoken in the manner of non contribution.

Consistency is a good way!

Oh and shut up @Dove
 
Nothing makes you feel older than seeing people on this board be like "Antric Klaiber? What is that?"
 
I wonder what shade of brown Antric Klaiber's shorts were when he had to talk to Jim Calhoun about his DUI in 1999.
