Did his wife go to Uconn? Niels was one of my favorite huskies of the last decade

He's done quite well for himself. Congratulations and a round of apples to all.

Yes she did, graduated 2013. From CT. They've been dating since college and a few years ago she moved to Germany to be with him.

Any of his teammates at the wedding?

I saw on Instagram that Tolksdorf was one of his Groomsmen, but that’s all I was able to gather from social media.

Congrats Niels! One of my favorite Husky.

For a period late in the 2013-14 season, that guy was LOCKED IN from the 3-point line in a way I've never seen from any other UConn player.

Edit: Just checked.

Shot 48.3% for the season from 3 (58/120). Between 2/23 and 3/14, he went 19/31 from 3 (61.3%). Then he cooled off. But after going 0/7 from 3 against Michigan State and Florida, he made 2 of 4 against Kentucky.

He also shot 11/13 from 3 in the first 3 games of the season.

The definition of the perfect glue guy to have on the team. He was like a mini-Igoudala by senior year - knocking down threes, guarding multiple positions, always making hustle plays. True champion.

Great for the good looking couple, and potential German citizenship and access to the world’s #1 visa-free travel passport (177 countries) for the new Fr. Griffey.

Looks like the Ribbon Factory in Essex. Beautiful couple.

Underrated rebounder too. Allowed UConn to go small with Daniels, Giffey, Boat, Bazz, and Kromah.

Big part of that championship. Any other Neils over there?

I'm sure Niels and Erin will be working on that shortly . . .

I saw a stat that Drew Hanlen posted recently.... Something like he was one of 5 players 6'7 or taller to ever shoot better than 47% from three. Don't know the exact qualification... but impressive nonetheless.

I just looked up a few players and found a 6-11 player who shot 48.5% from downtown, 55.7% final season. I won't repeat his name but his head bounced like a basketball.

According to his Instagram, it was The Lace Factory in Deep River. I actually went to a wedding there last summer...nice venue.

That’s what I meant. Ribbon factory didn’t seem right and I didn’t bother to double check. We looked there and really liked it but were a bit put off things like turning on the lights were extra charges.

What is Niels doing for work?
Hooping in Germany?

Last I knew he was a decent player in their best league.

Yeah he still plays for Alba Berlin, his childhood team. They're good and he's a solid player for them.

Per his instagram, he's flying Singapore Air business class on his honeymoon, so he must be making pretty solid money.

Whenever I go to MSG, I can still find chunks of plaster that fell from the ceiling after his dunk against Michigan State in the Elite 8.

Congratulations!
It's too bad his wife is so funny looking.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Love Niels.

What a freaking recruiting class from Calhoun.
