Sniper Out!

So happy for him.

"How about that Bouknight, you got a star next year."

 

[Giddyup5]

Man. I love Christian. He’s become one of my favorite players and that was a truly special speech.

 

[Dooooooomed]

CV will always be remembered for the vital role he played in the rebuild. One of the hardest workers in Husky history. Class act.

 

[XLCenterFan]

That was nice...I've never seen that. A player addressing the crowd like that.

Shabazz did it in 2014 and essentially guaranteed a championship

I remember Ollie did that year. I guess I just didn't remember Bazz speaking as well.

CV - UConn POY AAC POY
The most misunderstood, most misaligned star in UConn basketball history
When he walks off the court for the last time - the stats he will have amassed will be eye opening
He needs to be on the wall of honor

 

[The Funster]

Loved this kid since day 1. I wish he was a part of better teams. Still, he's made his mark on the program. I wish him all the success the world has to offer.

He should be aac poy, plus being top 10 in scoring in program history. That’s a hell of a get for a 3 star recruit.

hurley needs to find some diamonds like that.

Do you put a Husky on the Wall of Honor just because he was a hard working kid that was a real Husky for 4 tough years, played some good basketball and was a true warrior? Because he's not as good as many Huskies who will never see that wall. I ask that in all seriousness because maybe he should be because of the story I'm not sure.

Yes. No he isn’t the best player not on the wall but he’s the best example of a player, teammate, hard worker and loyalist to the program not on that wall. Timing is everything. Christian came along at a time when we desperately needed him.

 

[ColchVEGAS]

CV may have some deficiencies as a player, but you cannot deny his heart and effort over the past four years. Definitely a guy we could always use on the team and a model for other incoming players' to look at. He will be missed.

But he wasn't the same guy for all 4 years right? I mean AJ Price, Sheffer and so many others aren't on there and they were better players. I can't see it I must admit I think we just remember him in the way you described. But I do see your point!

If they put jerseys up for heart and commitment his jersey would not only go up but his number would be retired. I'm torn because others like Boat aren't there yet. But I still think those two deserve it as much as Rudy G. Maybe there is some other honor for 4 year outstanding committed players they can create. Maybe plaques on the concourse.

I can't rebuttal this sentiment at all. It will make my year as a sports fan if UConn can make the NCAA tourney. I don't care if they lose first game, well I do, but just getting there would be enough for me at this moment.

I would be very pleased with a NIT invite as well. Any postseason basketball after the AAC would make me very pleased for CV and Alterique.

yeah. Top 10 in scoring and (should be) conference POY is great for a 3 star guy, but is it wall worthy?
