Best 6th man of all time for Uconn?

[Hans Sprungfeld]

6th man value doesn't always come in scoring outbursts.
I give you Edmund Saunders, who deserves consideration based on his 77-74 defensive contributions and his "Edzilla" terrorizing of Arizona's Loren Woods alone.

I think that other than the above play, the thing I liked the most about Edmund was that he went from "academic non-qualifier" as a freshman to staying in Storrs through the summer following his senior season, to earn his degree in Political Science.

What a fun time suck watching that clip and recalling an oh-so-hopeful season that ended with KEA limping.

I think of Rashad as the best 6th man even though he was a starter off an on. In my personal criteria, I exclude players who went on the be stars, like Ray and Ben. It's all in the definition. Gwynn was instant offense, but Rashad was the designated assassin. Veins filled with ice water.

Unforgetable!

One time I saw him heading into the co-op on campus and I wished him luck "in tomorrow's game." He said "who we playing?" Now, any other player I would assume he was kidding. But with Dove, I can't be sure.
