Most under rated UConn Husky?

[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.

Oriakhi

YES. Especially in BET

 

[TerryBoyz]

i want to change my answer— Souleymane Wane

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.

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.

I love Ricky but Rip was MVP of our first national championship.

I think Taliek by many UConn fans. He did what he was suppose to do.

I think college b-ball fans who don't follow UConn passionately undervalued Kevin Freeman and Doron Sheffer. No offense to Gaffney... I think he will be great. But I would take Sheffer on my team any day. He got the ball to guys in position so they could score and his full court fast break passes were a thing of beauty.
Also, I think every championship team needs a guy like Freeman. The dude just outworked and outwilled the his man. I've posted it before, but I will never forget the one handed rebound against Duke in the championship game. It epitomized his game. Also, the guy worked hard to be better each year and it was clear to see.

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

This x 1000. Plus he played with legends and played against legends / epic teams. Our first “ that’s our guy” in the NBA. The head band was his trademark during that era.

 

[Ratso]

deandre daniels - he’s the reason uconn won in 2014

 

[olehead]

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

A great list.

Once AJ Price got healthy, he was an absolute force. He's my sole answer.

Cup Cormier

 

[Chin Diesel]

Rudy Johnson.
Came in with huge reputation and had to overcome injuries.
By the time he was a senior Rudy figured out how to contribute 20+ minutes and be a real good glue guy.

Nadav.

 

[Huskybass]

Boat. The D he played in the tourney was unbelievable. He took guys right out of their games.

 

[LIuconn]

Under cooked(1 more year!)
Drummond
Lamb
Charlie

CV had a long NBA career and the other two will be 10 year vets soon. I think it worked out just fine for them

 

[Vuce]

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.

 

[TerryA88]

Chris Smith. One of the founding fathers of UConn basketball.

Lyman Depriest

100% agree with Lyman Depriest - my all time favorite player.
