Favorite Somewhat Obscure Husky

[Husky Alien]

R.I.P. Ray Broxton 6'8" forward who averaged 13 pts his last year at UConn (84-85 season).

I’ll throw in a Calhoun favorite when he became coach. Senior Gerry Beselink.

He was the 3rd leading rebounder in the Big East as a senior.

 

[MDHuskFan]

Going more recent idk if he meets the criteria, but second half of senior year Vital. I’ll always have a soft spot for him.

Kirk King

Murray Williams

John Thomas from Bogalusa, LA. One of best rebounders in husky history.

And a great guy, played softball with him for years

C'mon man

Johnny Selvie

I’m not obscure.

I mean, Ed Nelson brought us this:



This track alone is enough credentials needed for a Huskies of Honor nomination.

Has he ever walked back the beating up gays stuff? That bit sours it for me

RJ Evans and I have no idea why.

A lot of people loved RJ since he had so many ties in the area. He's a Connecticut guy who went to NFA, played 4 years at Holy Cross in Worcester and then coached at Nichols afterwards too.

He just got hired as an assistant coach at Northern Kentucky and seems to be moving up through the coaching ranks

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.

Can a starter on a national championship team be 'obscure?'

 

[Son of Robert]

I’m not obscure.

Which makes me wonder if we do have any former players here in The Boneyard. That would be cool.

Brian Buckelew…1981-82. Loved the chant…”Buckelew, Buckelew, Buckelew for 2!”

The board is full of children these days. Now for we adults (read old farts / older than dirt), lets go back a few years. Like to Danny (the Spider) Hesford and Bill Della Salla.

 

[Waquoit]

Brian Buckelew…1981-82. Loved the chant…”Buckelew, Buckelew, Buckelew for 2!”

I remember him saying his shooting range was "28 feet and in".

Johnny Selvie

We called him viscous Johnny Selvie

There's only one right answer:

Jonathan Mandeldove

Phil Gamble

Phil Gamble

He's closer to a Husky of a honor than "obscure"

 

[StllH8L8ner]

He's closer to a Husky of a honor than "obscure"

True but his name rarely gets brought up that I’ve seen anyway.

Missy Rose? Meghan Gardler?

 

[Giscombe12]

He's closer to a Husky of a honor than "obscure"

I firmly believe he belongs on the wall.
