I've got a few wide ranging ones... Obviously, I was a big fan of the stars.
But, I loved Marcus Williams and we are forever etched as the team to lose to a 16 without him carrying us against Albany. Best passer, by far, that we ever had.
Loved Rash Jones as he was the ultimate team guy. Budding star as a Soph (he was averaging high teens for a while and was shooting it great) until he was essentially replaced as the star by Rip and then Khalid. So Rash became a defensive player who would play the 2-4 and bust it. One of my fave UConn moments is that it was him who had the ball in his hands as 77-74 ends.
I was a big fan of both Doug Wrenn and Ajou. Wrenn, b/c something, um, interesting was going to happen when he was on the court. He would have been a star here and an NBA player if he could have kept his head. JC said he was the most athletic player to ever play here and he has two of the greatest dunks we've ever had. I first started watching Ajou his junior year at T-More and got to know him a little bit when he was being tutored at my high school and then again at UConn. Super, super nice guy (too nice, actually) who had a world of talent. Was always pissed it didn't work out here.
Rod Sellers was a bada&$ who dribbled Chrissy's head on the floor... 'Nuff said.
But my all-time fave was Kirk King. I'm not sure why, he was just my guy. I was a teenager when he had that great put back dunk against AI and GTown in the BE tourney final and when he went 20-20 over those few games and I loved watching him develop into something. On the contrary, I hated that his career ended so unceremoniously right when it seemed he was going to be a go-to guy. At the same time, the best thing to happen to us, in a lot of ways, was him and Ricky getting suspended. It forced Rip, Jake, and KFree to grow up and learn on the job and it necessitated us finding a competent floor leader in Khalid as the Rickety Moore year proved he could not be a primary point guard.
