If this kid sticks to his commitment and all sources say he will and he becomes the type of player we think he can be he`ll be an all time favorite. cant wait to see this kid in blue n white.

The fact that his last name is Calhoun automatically makes it impossible for me to dislike him.

I would've thought a uconn player would've gotten that award:
Taliek, Gordon, AJ, Kemba

Many of those names bring back memories!

 

[husky99]

That list has some really insane talent....

But it's interesting that so few of those guys did much after college.

Brand and Marbury did the best, followed by Mashburn, Anderson, and Sealy. Telfair and Flynn won't amount to much.
