Oliver Macklin - One night in Ted's he asked my g/f at the time if she wanted to see why his nickname was "Meat"

I don't think this list was written for anyone who frequents this site

+1 for the Andre Dyson mention

Villanueva hardly ever gets mentioned...probably spelling issues.

 

[Waquoit]

Randy Levine

Nah, he's from some crap team. You mean Randy LaVigne. Two-sport college athlete, BB was second.

TRob. Great, often spectacular player. Very athletic. He was surrounded by all time Huskies like Okafor, Caron, Ben Gordon even Taliek. He did everything well and everything asked of him.

Haralson! Was just thinking the other day about his entry into the 6 OT game and how, at the time, I thought he was going to go down in the annals as a hero in that game. Dude who everyone knew could shoot, who never plays, enters and hits a bunch of 3's. I think he went like 2-5 or something like that with either an airball or clean result.

And then he went and transferred to future conference mate Tulsa

My personal favorite... John Gwynn

UCONN Hoop Legends: JOHN GWYNN

Same here. He lives in Wethersfield now and I bumped into him at Stop & Shop a few years ago. Went right up him and started talking UConn hoops. Great guy. His daughter crushed it for WHS last year too.

Oh almost nobody on here has forgotten about Johnnie Selvie. Everything that goes wrong is still his fault.
