Busting Brackets: UConn Mt. Rushmore

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

How crazy is it that guys who were beasts in college and had good stints in the NBA like Marcus Williams, AJ Price, Charlie Villanueva, Rudy Gay, Jeremy Lamb etc don’t even get a mention? AJ Price would be the all time best player for 80% of college teams

Nope, you can't keep out players that didn't get done at the expense of players that did. Rip had 20+ points in every tourney game. Not only did he lead our 1st Championship team, it was our first FF as well. UConn had the dubious record of most NCAA appearances without a FF at the time. The trailblazer has to get in. And I am happy with Bazz over Emeka. The extra NC gives him the nod.

I agree with your selection of Rip, and with your rationale for selecting him. But I disagree with Bazz over Emeka - Mek was the far better basketball player. I also believe that Ray and Kemba were arguably the best players in UConn history and, as such, belong as well. So give me a hammer and chisel so I can carve Rip, Emeka, Ray and Kemba into that mountain.
