Best Dunkers in UConn history?

[Vancat]

My dunkin' memory sucks, I'm going with high-flying hair-raising Andre.

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

Kwintin is really the best. With no one on him.

Many of us will remember certain dunks for a number of reasons even though a particular player isn't known for dunks. And that's OK.

I still think Bouknight deserves more credit. He wasn't tearing down rims, only played 43 games, played during covid nightmare. At 6'5" he had the size for flight, the timing, a certain style and made it look so easy. If he had played just one more year with the 21-22 team...

The dunk vs ECU at 46 seconds is just ridiculous. One of my favorite UConn dunks of all-time alongside Stanley Robinson's alley oop vs Texas

Donyell any Ray could throw them down.

They get forgotten

Mike McKay had mad hops back in the day.

 

[jitro1]

Norm Bailey was the best by far.

 

[3rdbass]

Steph Castle!

Al McGuire tried to steal him from Perno. I remember Al talking about it with Billy FGP.

Uconn basketball existed before 1990……Norman Bailey is the best dunker we’ve ever had and it’s not even CLOSE

you are correct sir... and old like me

It's hard because there have been so many great athletes that have gone through the program. I'm glad to see Depriest get some love on the board.

I wouldn't change my list, but just because everyone who was pretty good and beyond gets mentioned, Ty Martin had a few impressive dunks after transferring to UConn as well. I remember just in the Mich. St. game he had 3 or 4 big dunks and I'm glad to see him having some success in the NBA now.

Wish we didn't have to only imagine what a Toraino Walker 4 year highlight real would look like as well.

emotion, flair, speed, violence. Dunks that change the feel of a game are how I approach it.
Andre, Ray, Sticks, K Free, any order you like. Lots of other greats, but the bigger guys don't look as dramatic doing it.
Boatright gets an honorable mention for his size.
