Shout out for Mike Vaughn. Lived on my floor freshman year. We had an octopus. All the freshman (including a football player) were hitting it. None of us could figure out why we weren't getting a hit. Then Mike exhaled....

 

[OEBulldog]

Always liked Denham Brown. His pull up J was pure.

 

[ec33]

Only not obscure, because he was everyone's favorite off the bench: John Gwynn.

 

[CONN78SEJ]

RJ Evans and I have no idea why.

Going back a ways, but Jeff Carr, and not too long after that there was “Microwave”.

 

[Hagahulk23]

Monquencio Hardnett. Had the energy.

Ricky Moore (when WW3 breaks out, I want to be in his foxhole) & our German Bruh, Nils Giffey

Long ago Cal Chapman

Perno days Vern Giscombe

Later years always felt Albert Mouring didn’t get his due.

I was a big Brian Fair fan.

I also was a Brian Fair fan I can recall when he was recruited he was known for his 3-point shooting. Wasn’t he a 4-star recruit as well?

Rudy Johnson

My roomie Andy and I saw a picture of Rudy Johnson in the courant prior to his recruiting visit. The angle of the picture made it look like he would smash his face on the rim. Clearly this made him Bunyan-esque

Then when he committed we would always play "Rudi can't Fail" by The Clash on repeat on our brand new $1000 + new compact disc player when he was on the floor. Doubt he knew who Joe Strummer was, but it worked for us lol

On the women’s team I’d say Sarah Northway, on the men’s side Boo Willingham.

I was a huuuuuuuuuuge Sarah Northway….. supporter

 

[karstenkibbe]

Has to be Karsten Kibbe.

 

[Duncan Idaho]

rip Ray. He definitely had the weirdest death. Trying to climb into his room (in chile?) and falling.

Yeah that was quite the story. RIP

Vern Giscombe. Instant offense, and a great guy personally.

Who is/was your favorite obscure Husky? Mine was Alvin “Skinner” Frederick.

Al could be spectacular. A couple of buddies and I drove to Ohio State for the game when he was on the squad. UConn is down around 10 midway through the second half when Al beats his man for a slam. UConn makes a stop and it's Al with another nice move for a slam to make it 6. Next trip down court, Al with another move for a slam to make it 4 and we have ourselves a ball game! But wait, a late whistle for traveling. There was no travel, it was Big 10 refs saying "Enough of that". That's where I first learned about precision officiating.

Women’s side - Amy Duran.

Lyman designed this logo when he was a UConn player. They still use it 30 years later. Too bad he didn't get any NIL.

 

[SubbaBub]

The correct answer is Roscoe Smith. No one ever wanted to hit a full court heave with 30 seconds on the clock more than that guy. Love him.
