Sticks is the all around best dunker we’ve ever had. He had the hops, the ferocity, and the length to do anything he wanted.
Rudy Gay is right behind him. Insanely talented, athletic and more acrobatic. He was longer, and this made his dunks look “easier” than Sticks, which is why he doesn’t take the top spot. Rudy could do anything he wanted and gets punished for it.
Ryan Boatright not being on this list is criminal, he’s bonafide top 5, and I argue he should be number 3.
Ray & Donyell finish out the list. Then we have 25 guys we can justify 5-10.

Rudy’s biggest issue here was that he found a way to have games where he only took 10 shots.
And Calhoun wanted to take his head off every time that happened lol

Can’t believe it took 2 pages to mention Norm Bailey.

Rudy Gay and Stanley Robinson. Honorable mention to Ryan Boatright because of his small size.
If only we had someone half as fast as him this year.

One of the best dunks I've ever seen was by Tony Robertson. I wish knew the game, but he was driving baseline, from well outside the free throw side-lines - he looked like he started his jump behind the backboard.

The way UConn fans have talked about these dunks for years you would think he did some Dominique dunks.

It's shocking how little lift and explosion he gets when gathering to go up in the lane, the dunk today he missed was in part because of his low elevation above the rim
I remember Perno telling a reporter how Norman Bailey had already damaged 3 baskets since recently coming on campus.
Most thunderous dunk I ever witnessed was by Ben Gordon playing against, I think UNC or Duke. It was so long ago.
Solo ball notInteresting read. Who did they miss in the UConn draft of best dunkers in Husky history?

As we wrote earlier this month, Andre Jackson Jr. and Stephon Castle recently repped UConn in the 2025 NBA Slam Dunk Contest. While neither could dethrone serial dunk champ Mac McClung, Castle’s second-place finish was the best ever by a Husky, and his third dunk earned the first perfect score...duckonarocksports.com
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 was racking my brain for a little talked about guard who threw down some vicious dunks, and once I saw your post, bingo! Tony Robertson. He should definitely be in the top 10 conversation.
I'd add Caron Butler for honorable mention. He had some rim bending slams if my memory serves me.
