Huskies of Honor question

[my2cents]

its it based on your college achievements then BG should be in there.

I think he was going to be..unfortunately he can’t even be trusted to show up without causing a wild incident.

They had plans to make him the next honoree, I think they scrapped those plans.

Doing the whole team is kinda lame. I get the idea behind honoring the first team, but the team is recognized with the championship banner.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

I think Adama’s play and the championship are a huge aspect. But also, his importance following an era of UConn purgatory should be taken into consideration. Not sure how to quantify it, but I would definitely have him in HoH.

The All-American requirement worked well because every single one of our previous title teams were lead by an AA. Rip, Emeka, Kemba, Bazz. They all won the NCAAT MOP too.

I don't think you can exclude Sanogo based on the AA criteria. Anyone who wins the NCAAT MOP deserves to be up there.

Only way a guy like Jackson gets up there is if Boatright and Ben Gordon go up there first. Or if AJax pulls a Jalen Wilson from KU and becomes an AA next year

 

[SouleMan]

We could have point Kemba on the wall after the Maui invitational that year, haha

 

[ADK46er]

Hawkins having the best free throw percentage in program history and second most three pointers made in a season, plus being a national champion, he deserves to be on that wall, Sanogo deserves it for what he did to the program alone not counting his tournament honors.

I like Boatright and he was at worst 2B on a title team (if you want to put Daniels as 2A) but there are probably 10 guys I'd put ahead of him as a Husky of honor.

Maybe we should put handprints in the walk in front of Gampel like Grauman’s For guys like Boat and Jordan.

Sanogo will definitely be honored based on his collegiate accomplishments culminating with the MOP and title. IMO, Hawkins is the type of player who will need a successful pro career to get the Husky honor.

That is known as recency bias.

Scott Burrell is arguable the greatest athlete to ever attend UConn.
Rudy Gay was a first team All American and one of the four Wooden Award finalists.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Who are the voters?

Temery, Fishy & A-Dub.

 

[superjohn]

Sanogo, yes. He has the accomplishments. Maybe Hawkins down the road if he shows out in the NBA. There's also that possibility for Jackson if he becomes a great NBA player and or is an All-American next season. Should Lamb, DeAndre Daniels, Rashad Anderson, Voskuhl, Freeman, Giffey, Ricky Moore be in the Huskies of Honor?

AJ Price

Does anyone know who decides?

 

[HooperScooper]

There are no "requirements" other than a vote. NBA is clearly a consideration considering Rudy is on that list, however.

Rudy was a first team All American. I believe that is why he is up there. I don't know why people always dismiss that he was.

 

[jleves]

Sanogo, yes. He has the accomplishments. Maybe Hawkins down the road if he shows out in the NBA. There's also that possibility for Jackson if he becomes a great NBA player and or is an All-American next season. Should Lamb, DeAndre Daniels, Rashad Anderson, Voskuhl, Freeman, Giffey, Ricky Moore be in the Huskies of Honor?

I could see Lamb and Voskuhl for sure.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Huskies who played on a championship team or graduated in the last 5 years of Honor

 

[auror]

My proposed criteria (modern era):

1st team All-American
or
2x All-Conference 1st team
or
1x Conference POTY
or
NCAA Final Four or Regional MOP
or
20k minutes played in NBA

 

[Tenspro2002]

My proposed criteria (modern era):

or
20k minutes played in NBA

You gonna put Drummond in the HoH?

I would consider NBA success and bringing respect to the program that way as a component of one's case for inclusion, but that shouldn't be sufficient on its own.
