Karaban Milestone Watch

Gotta agree with this. Vital played super hard for us and was a bridge of sorts, but three of his four years he was on under .500 teams. That's not his fault, obviously. But he was able to put up big #s in part because we sucked as a whole.



Donyell for sure needs to be referenced. He was our first major recruit. We beat out huge schools for him, and he had an immediate impact. It can definitely be argued that he had the best individual season of any UConn player in the JC and beyond era. If he made his damn free throws, he would be a no-brainer.

Yes, people forget how good Donyell was, top 5 NBA pick, BE player of the year, 25 points a game when the conference was that good...that 360 dunk
 
Milestone Watch for Georgetown:

Karaban will tie Voskuhl for 2nd in Games Started at 129.

Karaban is on pace to break his 2nd place tie with Kemba Walker for OWS at 11.5.

Karaban could potentially tie Sticks Robinson and Shabazz for 10th in DWS at 7.4.

Donyell went 20 for 20 at the line against St. Johns at MSG for half of his 40 points that night. He was not a bad free throw shooter. Unfortunately, ....

Any list I do starts with the six legitimate first team All Americans (at least by some selections) we had. In chronological order Donyell, Ray, Rip, Omeka, Kemba and Shabazz. We've had many other great ones -- including Chris Smith, Ben Gordon, Sanogo and others. And then players who will be big time pros but aren't here long enough to make All American, like Drummond, Castle and Clingan. But there's a big gap between being a first team all american while you're in college and anything else.
