Choose 1 player from the past Uconn teams to make the current team a Final Four Contender

2011 Kemba Walker would have us cutting down the nets in April.

Cornelius Thompson....as a freshman made the biggest difference to a UConn team than any player in history. Parade National POY and chose us over North Carolina, Virginia, and Princeton. Lol

Getting him made all the difference against teams like Holy Cross, Syracuse, BC, and URI. We didn't always win but all the games against those teams were suddenly going down to the wire with Corny on the floor. Gave us instant respect in the newly formed Big East. With Jalen, Terry and a young Corny, we'd be very tough to beat. IIRC, we made the NCAA's his freshman year, but might of been his sophmore year.

Mine would be Emeka Okafor. The ability to protect the rim would allow the guards to wreak havoc with pressure defense ala Boatright and Napier. Take notes, KO.

Yep, Okafor...

Nope, you were right. He was a frosh. Then the Morris Mtn. showed up and took all his shots.

Rip Hamilton
Energizer bunny who could shoot lights out
That's what this team needs
 
Kemba. A good three point shooter would be amazing, but would they get open looks with the players we currently have? Kemba creates his own looks. Emeka would be great too, but could we feed him properly? Kemba puts everyone on his back.

Gay....

.... as in this topic is kinda Gay.

... without Rudy Gay.

Okafor, Allen, and Hamilton were just having a casual threesome in this thread until Rudy Gay walks in and puts an end to it right away.
 
Jake Voskuhl because as a pleasant side effect, Kahlid, Rip, Ricky and Kevin would find out and join along

What does Rudy know about getting to a Final Four?
 
Caron Butler..probably the best all around player ever at Uconn.This team needs all his attributes...

Rebounds,scores,shooter..leader...


Emeka a close 2nd...for this team
.

Marcus Williams, Marcus would set everyone including the water boy to an easy bucket.

This irks me. We are friggin UConn. If you get to supplement a team with one alumni, you don't go for a damn role player, even if it's an outstanding role player like Giffey. You get to supplement your team from a plethora of guys who were legitimate All Americans. Donyell, Ray, Rip, Okafor, Gordon, Kemba and Bazz. Those weren't our only great players. Those were are legitimate candidates for national POY.

You used 'Friggin' in a post????
Seems out of character...
 
Lock down defender who can guard the perimeter and shoot the 3. Scotty D. Burrell.
