Message: [QUOTE="cwh20, post: 5012646, member: 13009"] Henefeld - coming from Isreal there was no book on him or expectations but wow! I loved his bball IQ, ability to get steals, and also that the bigger the moment the more he shined. For example, he wasn’t a great foul shooter overall but he didn’t miss at the end of close games. The same with his three point shooting. Super clutch! He actually wasn’t getting huge minutes early in the year but once he did the team just kept getting better and better. Toraino Walker - super solid and steady Rod Sellers goes down and Walker who had no meaningful minutes during the season takes over the center position in the biggest games of the season (Big East tourney vs Georgetown and Syracuse) and UConn earns their first BE tourney title! His one handed rebound and windmill jam the following regular season was jaw dropping! Emeka - I was praying Justin Brown had made a leap and would be a solid BE center as UConn lost big recruiting battles for a couple of big men. I had no idea that late-pickup Emeka was going to be unbelievable. There really was no hype on him going into the season. Who remembers the HCC exhibition game okafor’s freshman year where he fouled out with no points? He stayed on the court as the refs didn’t notice until he got fouled himself. He made a foul shot for his first point as a Husky and then had to go to the bench as the refs figured out he shouldn’t have been out there. Yeah, it was funny moment but that performance didn’t exactly get anyone’s hopes up for the coming season. [/QUOTE]
