Most under rated UConn Husky?

[Uconn92387]

I would say Austrie. He played a solid 4 years here. I know he put up big numbers, but Dyson is overlooked when we talk about all the great guards that have played here. I still think we win a championship if he didn't get hurt. Which ties into Austrie. He stepped in and helped that team to keep winning. Adrien is another underappreciated guy. That whole 08-09 team was something special. Nothing but a bunch of grinders who brought it every night. That team is in my top 5 favorite teams ever.

No. There’s no actual basis for saying he was the best player. He was, at best, 4th.

again thanks for proving my point about him being underrated.

again thanks for proving my point about him being underrated.

no. You’re proving that he was overrated. People saying he was better than cv and that he was better than guys like price, Thabeet and even adrien.

he was tired for 5th in win shares that year.
He probably only jumps kemba. who only started 2 games that year and still has a decent lead on him.

Doug Wiggin's weed very underrated

Not only that but the best gym teacher.

About 20-30 guys who are not and mostly played on the same teams as the following:
Ray Allen
Donyell Marshall
Caron Butler
Rip Hamilton
Emeka Okafor
Thabeet
Kemba
Bazz
The board does this all the time singling out a player and comment like they were the only person on that team. That’s not only wrong but very ignorant of winning basketball requirements.
I honor all those guys who have not been honored.

Earl Kelly - a one man show!

 

[Duncan Idaho]

Earl Wilson
Abro/Carr
Eddie Williams
Gamble
Sellers
Voskhul
Travis Knight
Vital
Seems alot of the guys discussed were highly rated top 100 recruits. I expected a lot from an Oriahki or an AJ Price who were top 25 RSCI.

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

Chris Smith is probably the most underrated in terms of impact to our program.

 

[uconnyankee]

Jake Voskuhl.....definitely not a star with guys like Rip and KEA but very good big man defender, position rebounder and REALLY good screener that set up a lot of Rip’s shots after he ran baseline. He did a lot of the work people didn’t notice akin to outstanding offensive linemen in football.

Hands down most underrated player.
Never gets credit for his role in 99 NC.
did everything you need a big to do. Just didn’t dominate so he never gets credit.

didn’t he play 10 years in NBA too?

 

[WhereistheDove?]

I feel like Niels Giffey needs to at least be part of the discussion here.

 

[Caronimo]

Albert Mouring, Taliek Brown (yes he had the Gilbert treatment for years due to lack of shooting), Okwandu, Robertson, Saunders, Denham Brown

Earl Kelly - a one man show!

Earl Kelley wasn't underrated. He was overrated and a coach killer. But that was good thing in this case.

Ricky Moore was like a college version of Dennis Johnson with a better attitude.

Of course it's Tyler Olander. 2>1
