No mention of Doug Wiggins. Transferred to UMass in '08, but was dismissed from the team before ever playing a game because of off-the-court issues. He ended up playing for Mountain State in West Virginia, a NAIA school. If I remember correctly he led Mountain State to the NAIA national title game with some clutch free throws in the semi-final. It's too bad he didn't get his act together at UConn. Very talented and a scoring spark off the bench his first two seasons. I think he plays now in a semi-pro league for the Hartford Lightning.

Jamaal Trice and Darius Smith as well .... good job though.

I left Wiggins out because he was kind of a dark spot on the program before 2012. And everyone knows his story.

If I remember correctly, he was upset Napier was coming in & saw the writing on the wall. Didn't he basically quit school after this? I could be wrong on that part though.

What a pisser for Jamal Coombs-McDaniel to have this as the last thing written in your write-up: "He was arrested earlier this year in May for another drug infraction."
