Favorite Somewhat Obscure Husky

[geordi]

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.

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

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

Tony Robertson

C'mon man

Johnny Selvie

We called him viscous Johnny Selvie

There's only one right answer:

Jonathan Mandeldove

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Phil Gamble

 

[dvegas]

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]

I firmly believe he belongs on the wall.

The Richie Springs of yesteryear.

Well spoken of when recruited; rarely played.

Had a unique last name for sure.

 

[Improviser]

EJ Harrison
Marcus White
Rob Garrison

EJ was a sharp passer.
Marcus was athletic, very athletic.
Can't recall anything about Garrison.

 

[Improviser]

Sandy Fishman.

Got about as much playing time as Hurley's son. Actually though, I think he played when a starter got hurt and maybe played in garbage time and not just the last minute of a game.

 

[Improviser]

I’m not obscure.

Pull away the curtain, already.

 

[SubbaBub]

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

Behind Kemba, Lamb, Bazz and Mumu? Yes

 

[UC15]

Nnamdi Amilo ... 2013 champion

 

[Moose1979]

Murray Williams

My favorite too! We named our dog after him! He hit crucial one and ones down the stretch in the NIT win

 

[Waquoit]

I firmly believe he belongs on the wall.

Phil? No way.

 

[Deepster]

I'm going to with obscure from a "what could have been" angle. Doug Wrenn. Dude was electricfying and had the look of an absolute superstar at times....but had a $0.05 head.

They asked for obscure. Second choice, Gerry Bilodeau. .

 

[Steve UConn72]

Missy Rose? Meghan Gardler?

Thanks for the Meghan Gardler reference. I was trying to remember her name when someone mentioned pretty blonds earlier. Not sure if she would have made the team if her family didn't have a connection with Geno, but she was, uh, fun to watch.

Maybe Tony Anelauskas is a third choice. These guys were in my freshman dorm together during those Yankee Conference years.

Tony Anelauskas​

Position: Forward
6-2, 175lb (188cm, 79kg)
Hometown: Somerville, MA
School: Connecticut (Men)


Neither saw much run.

 

[FearThePups]

Two Connecticut kids, 1 semi obscure, the other not so much.
1. Norman Bailey human dunking highlight
2. Scott Burrell

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Marc Suhr

I wonder if Norman and Earl were ever in class together?

 

[cordeodato]

EJ was a sharp passer.
Marcus was athletic, very athletic.
Can't recall anything about Garrison.

Marcus was a natural rebounder. He fought for every one of them.

 

[UC313]

Waterburys finest, Ed Saunders

 

[Waquoit]

Marcus was a natural rebounder. He fought for every one of them.

It's funny how he only saw the court to begin with because JC was out sick.

 

[VKong]

C'mon man

Johnny Selvie

Agreed.
