The best UConn dunker ever isn’t in the bracket??? Norm Bailey isn’t in the bracket and he was the best ever and it isn’t even close. I’m not wasting my time to pick the 2nd best dunker ever. Lol

This is fun.
For me, Sticks was the best dunker in UConn History. His half court ally-oop vs. Texas is forever etched into my brain and would take home the trophy. RIP.
A case could be made for a number of them though.

The biggest take away for me. The Donyell dunk vs the Jackson dunk. Donyell was grazed by the defender and it was an and one. Jackson was assaulted mid air both body and arm contact and by then we were not getting a call from the refs unless there was a broken bone involved. Jackson was absolutely hammered on the dunk no call play on. Just ridiculous. That was my main take away.

And it has to be Sticks but the poster who mention Stormin Norman has a point..

Makes you wonder if there were any players who played from 1967-76 that could have made this list if dunking wasn't against the rules.

Um, I mentioned him in #7 post in this thread. He is HANDS DOWN the best dunker we’ve ever had. This thread is a classic example of casual fans vs longtime fans.

I mean, I consider myself a longtime fan but I wasn't even alive when Norm Bailey played lmao

It was 45 years ago man...

Yeah, but what bugs me is he isn’t even in the bracket. That’s a disgrace. It’s on par with saying Dom Perno was a better coach than Calhoun. Surely there there must be some old timers like myself who also remember Perno telling Dick Galliette that NB had already destroyed three baskets in the Field House. Corny, McKay and Bailey made a very formidable front court.

I remember three UConn dunks that can o ly be described as jaw dropping, hundreds of others were awesome but these were in a different class.

Bailey against Nova in my junior year in college (probably very early 1981) where it looked like he launched from about 15 feet out, a little to the right of the FT circle. It was similar to a David Thompson dunk.

Ray as a freshman against Virginia (he basically announced his presence) when he seemed to explode from the court, flew by a couple defenders and jamed it.

Rudy as a freshman (may have been against Indiana) when it appeared that he changed direction in mid air to grab an offensive rebound where the ball appeared to be too far behind him to grab it, then windmilled it into the basket.

Honestly, I'd put Marcus Johnson ahead of Stanley Robinson when it comes to dunking.

To those laughing - do you remember Marcus Johnson?
