I thought he was already on there, now honor Boatright.

Can anyone explain the Huskies of Honor? Why are the '99 and '04 teams a part of it and not the other championship teams?

Hasheem was absolutely dominant his junior year... 13.6/10.8/4.2 blocks and that's with people either being afraid of him or completely altering their shots to get it past him. Sucks he was such an NBA bust, but he is absolutely underrated here.

Not sure if it was work ethic or what, but no reason he couldn’t have been at least Gobert.
 
Hell yeah!

Got tickets to this game a few weeks ago and it’ll be my first time at Gampel in over two years.

Hasheem was one of my favorite people during my time as a student at UConn. I feel like he was everywhere: Student Union, Celeron, Carriage House…always down for a wave or a high-five. Just a down to earth, good dude. Happy to celebrate his career with him for that game!

I don't remember the timing of 99 team, but 04 was definitely during the Ollie era where ticket sales were way down. I do wonder if selling tickets for the ceremony played into it.
 
I hope Tristan Newton gets a proper ceremony. His number was up at the start of last season with no pomp and circumstance! Well deserved, but I remember showing up to the first game last year and being surprised it was added over the summer.
 
So happy for Hasheem. I met him on my college visit to UConn and he was such a nice dude.

He was really in the first couple of draft classes where the NBA game was moving away from traditional centers, yet the trash teams at the top of the draft board were “behind the curve.” I think if he was playing in the 90s NBA it’s a much different career for him.

Congrats Dream!

Correct. I'm surprised any UConn fan doesn't remember that.

Tristen Newton is a two-time national champion, a newly-minted Final Four Most Outstanding Player, and as of his arrival back in Storrs with the victorious UConn men’s basketball team on Tuesday night, the newest member of the Huskies of Honor.

Newton was honored as part of the ‘welcome home’ rally for the team after it knocked off Purdue, 75-60, to win the program’s sixth national championship on Monday night.

Agreed. Very memorable - full on Shabazz treatment. Instant legend status.

My impression, based on how they’ve been doing it on the women’s side, is that all the championship teams are slated to be honored, and that it’s mostly a matter of coordinating when all (or as many as logistically possible) of the players from the respective rosters can make it to the same game to be honored.

He showed up at a track meet at the U in Miami one year because his buddy was a thrower on the track team
