New Huskies of Honor

Then why wasn't he up much earlier? I think it was more his max NBA contract that did it.

KEA has been elected for the wall, but youre still on some campaign to criticize rudy... no need to be bitter since the point is moot.

So if the 98-99 team gets inducted, technically Antric Klaiber is a Husky of Honor.

The quality of those 2 minutes against Duke have been under appreciated for too long.

Khalid: "I'd like to think I was what UConn needed at the time."

That is so true. That's why he deserves to be on the wall as much as anyone. I'm actually going to be a bit choked up during the ceremony.

very nice well deserved, does anyone think KEA got screwed out of playing in the NBA

KEA just amazing. First day in scrimmage as a frosh directing all the veterans. A coach told me on one Husky Run KEA arranged for a car to pick him up. On the scorer's table at Pitt - never a finer moment.

I'm so stoked to be there today.

KEA is one of my all-time favorites. So deserved. Brought a toughness and swagger that is so important in a Championship team.

I even broke out a brand new 1999 National Championship T for the occasion from my stash..

Really wish everyone on the Yard could be their to see this piece of History.

Still the greatest combination of numbers that exists in the universe.

Wish I could be there. (heck, am on the other side of the planet so I can't even watch it - can someone record the halftime ceremony & post it on Youtube if doable? Thx)

Don't they have a five-year rule that only Kemba got an exception for?

Shut up

The rule book is like the one for pro wrestling, no one has ever seen it.

Still, it's an alternate reason to your NBA theory. If Thabeet's not in any immediate plans, then you're definitely onto something.

KEA was my favorite Uconn player and one of the greats at Uconn. However, i think the main reason that it took so long for him to get into the Wall of Fame was the fact he sold his 1999 championship ring. I believe Calhoun was upset about it the time and there was some friction between the two. But, definitly great to see him back on campus.

That's a crappy reason.
