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.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

I agree with this. Down the road I could see them honoring the entire team like they did with 98-99 and put 22-23 in the Huskies of Honors.

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.

 

[UofCT]

I would add Hawkins, Sanogo and Jackson.

 

[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

 

[BlueMAB]

Wasn’t Kemba on the wall before he was drafted?

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.

 

[UofCT]

You can't have guys like Rudy Gay and Scott Burrell up there and not include Hawkins, Sanogo or Jackson. I would add Boatright as well.

We should recognize and celebrate those who brought us championships.

 

[UConnRock]

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.

 

[Palatine]

I would add Hawkins, Sanogo and Jackson.

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.

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

 

[Huskyforlife]

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.
