And, if some very limited number of Husky worthies who never made AA (let's say, one for every ten years since 1985) could be voted onto the wall by a UConn "Veteran's Committee" (Or better yet, and surely much more accurately and more dispassionately, by some random group of Boneyard pundits), who would be the first ones elected? You are welcome to read the "every ten years" any way you want, but there should no more than three candidates, regardless of calendar years serving.

If I were asked to serve in such a noble endeavor, I would nominate Jamelle Elliott and Kelly Faris, and I would hold my third vote if necessary for Morgan Tuck.

Ditto on Jamelle Elliot, and Kelly Faris, Tuck won't need it.
Realizing this opens up tons of argument, I will add my additions:
Carla Berube; Tassk members: Jones and TWilliams, Strother and Turner, perennial sixth man Kiah Stokes

Other Possibles: Rita William, CDoty & her running mate Hayes; Jess Moore whose contributions were always underrated.
 
Elliot yes, but I've always thought that Ann was under-appreciated in the end. She had to suffer through the two years after D moved on. That was a long dark shadow to play beneath and it made it very hard for anyone to shine. We still have time in this decade.
 
1. I do not believe that we would have won in 2003 and 2004 without Jessica Moore.

2. I want a bigger wall to include players like Ketia Swanier - one who did not win a championship, was not an AA and still gave 110% (possibly a higher percentage than Kiah Stokes).
 
Barbara Turner slightly better numbers than Cash and significantly better numbers than Faris and Jamelle.

Barbara Turner was a warrior, one of my best memories of her is she defended Sylvia Fowles pretty successfully for almost half a game when LSU was good, this is probably 2006, I don't think we won the game but it wasn't her fault.

At the end of her senior year she stepped up big and almost got us back to the Final Four.
 
1980s - Lishness, Walsh, Brumbaugh, Davis, Curl, Baer - didn't see any of them play but they are all over the record book and someone should be joining Bascom from that era.

Jamelle - yes - the missing one from the starting five. Second choices Berube and Rita Williams, the forgotten PG.

2000s - wow - this gets tough because there are two distinct periods to consider. The first three-peat in Uconn history should have another representative, but choosing between Moore, Turner, Strother, and Conlon is tough. And then the Moore/Charles era with a personal favorite Greene, and Hayes. Too tough! I'll choose two - Moore and Strother but it really was a card flip.

2010s - Faris - love Stokes as well, but I'll draw the line at starters.
 
I think it is clear that more than a few mentioned would have been AAs at other schools, as Morgan surely would have been last year. I'd like to see a separate wing ($$ I know) that highlights the accomplishments of many fine Huskies. Call it A League of Their Own.
 
..then we can add Rosemary the Trainer and CD the Elder for their contributions .:cool:
