I saw Corny dominate Sly Williams (URI) in a game at the now torn down, New Haven Coliseum. Probably Corny's best game ever. Sly played in the NBA for a while. Not sure if Corny ever did.

Corny played for Dallas for short while. He actually got in much much better shape but lost shall we say alot of the mass that made him a difficult matchup in college.

Joe Whelton was 5' 10" and had a heart bigger than that. He and Weston were like Shabazz and Boatright in that they were undersized but terrific. I could look it up but I don't believe they played with Lee Otis Wilson who could shoot the lights out.

Wilson played 2 years. Weston for 2 and Welton 1. Great teams to watch!

Frederick and McCloud, nice ones mau.
Always have been a big Wilson fan. His numbers went down as Hanson Weston...came on board. It happened to others like Chapman and Custick too.

He had a long, successful European career. I remember seeing him play an exhibition game with his championship Euro squad against Magic's Lakers.

Hasheem Thabeet and Chris Smith- both superstar players at UConn and they're hardly ever mentioned. Hasheem seems to only get mentioned when people bash him.

People forget about them until their memory is jarred. This happens when you recall the players you never forgot and wonder who their teammates were, and you look them up by googling the roster for the years your known favorites played.

Then you see the other players and now you remember if they entertained you, and they make this list.

In the legal field , this is called "refreshing recollection." You are asked if you remember something, and if you do not, you are shown a document and look at it to see if it refreshes your recollection.

If it does not, it does not, except if it is a business record that you knew about or was from your office, it could be admissible for the trial.

On the BY, sometimes if you have followed the team over the years, the names do come to mind, but usually by connecting them to the years you went to school or by remembering the announcer.

I recall players who played when I went to school. Now see, without cheating and looking at the rosters, I remember Sandy Fishman. A guy off the bench who sometimes started because other players got into foul trouble or were out from injuries.

Love Coles, but Earl Kelley was the man. Imagine him with a 3 point line and a supporting cast, he made many clutch game winners in his day.
 
I remember Sandy Fishman. Played with Ken Libertoff Chris Whitcomb and Ken Whitney usually at garbage time.. Libertoff was the best of the lot. Actually had a 20 point game when he got a little pt.

I always appreciated Rashamel Jones. He was a very good player, and he saw RIP was the future. Many players would have put up more shots and not let a younger guy overtake them for the teams scoring lead. He accepted a lesser role for the greater good of the team and was a vital cog to championship #1.

I always felt that if Sheffer had been American he wouid’ve been a very good QB. People forget what a terrific outlet passer he was and strong at about 6’4. We toured Israel a few years ago and it turned out our guide knew the whole Sheffer family well when we talked a little about Israeli UConn players. Doron, it seems, has become deeply involved in religion, not the usual trend in Israel for the formerly non- religious.

He never missed in pick-up games. Got every rebound, too.

Was it Dom Bosco HS? He was like one of the leading scorers in the country as a senior thought we were golden.

Doron's ability to drop a full court pass on a breakaway player's fingertips was a thing of beauty. He and Marcus Williams were the two best I've seen passing the ball at UConn.
