Most under rated UConn Husky?

[Travelman6]

Maybe it was because he transferred to Missouri for his senior year, but I have always felt that Alex Oriakhi was pretty underrated. I feel like Vital and Gilbert will be added to this list once we know the NCAA confirms that they will allow/not allow seniors another year of eligibility. Daniel Hamilton also deserves more love. Finally, Kevin Freeman.

I've got a list:
- Gavin Edwards
- Tony Robertson
- Jalen Adams
- Kirk King

 

[Excalibur]

Besides a three week stretch in 2011, I thought Oriakhi was underwhelming.

 

[LIuconn]

4hunnid. Tearing up the G League. Imagine him on a decent squad and coaching

I agree. But he had it right there. Calhouns worst coaching job ( and it turns out it was yeomans work , but He walks on water with me anyway) ....was trying to balance Drummond and Oriakhi. Alex proved too fragile for that and jc was never a kids glove coach.

niels giffey was pretty essential to the 2014 title and i feel like he never quite got enough shine for it

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Given the crap hand he was dealt with everything around him we will never know how good Jalen Adams could have been here. He is really really really good at basketball.

Adams and Vital. Hard to blame them that they were here for during the time we were in a disaster of a conference and for the majority of the time on rosters with a severe lack of talent

Cmon Jarlton. He’s one of the Yard’s favorites. DeAndre Daniels gets no love from that team IMO. He was really good as a sophomore too.

 

[Kenny11]

Uncle Cliff never really gets mentioned as a uconn great. He played 18 seasons in the nba which is incredible

Yeah Niels always gets love, hell we had multi page thread about his wedding. The only time Daniels gets mentioned is to criticize him for leaving (which was the right decision)

[the Q]

It’s probably Brimah who put up a bpm of or near 10 his first 3 years here.

his underwhelming senior year and inability to build off that monster frosh year really lowers how we see him. But he was a legit star his first 3 years on campus.

 

[wheelerdog]

Niels Giffey

 

[superjohn]

Johnnie Time

Selvie is by far the most underrated. He's borderline Huskies of Honor and nobody ever talks about him.

Ricky Moore. Just watched him shut down Iverson again today but we celebrate ray Allen's shot that wins it. He was mvp of our first national championship game as well. Big game guy and a defensive machine.

 

[Austin316]

Ace Watanasurarp

 

[BleedHuskyBlu]

AJ price is the only correct answer

 

[Waquoit]

Underrated is a relative term. Based on my reading of fandom over the last 8 or so months my choice is Khalid El-Amin. I have come to believe people have forgotten how much ass that man kicked.

 

[AllAbout5]

Oriakhi

YES. Especially in BET

 

[TerryBoyz]

i want to change my answer— Souleymane Wane

 

[joober jones]

Craig Austrie. He was the best band-aid this team ever had.

 

[imno1]

How can we leave TO off this list. He won us 2 championships.
