He was a table jumper in HS. Didn't know that.

That was good practice for the Pitt game.

 

[alexd]

Damn....that was almost 20 years ago....

 

[Jay-Bone]

Wow! And then we became yuge.

I'm sure there are a lot of posters here that aren't old enough to have seen him play at all.

He was the most confident player I think that has ever played at UConn and he was a boss from day 1. Other teams fans hated him.

I remember that quote from the video where he said he had watched UConn play the year before and he felt they needed a floor leader like himself. At the time, I took that to be a direct shot at Ricky Moore and i wasn't so sure KEA would fit in at UConn. I was very wrong.

 

[Robertelamin]

Ha, yeah and it turns out he was spot on with that assessment.

I mean, thinking about it, that's exactly the thought process you want a guy to have coming in. Floor leader, scorer, rebounder, doesn't matter.
