Ray and Scottie in Israel

This was posted in the Diarra commit thread, but I thought it deserved its own. Just an amazing blast from the past.

Everytime I see Ray I think he could to this day give a team 10-12 situational based minutes.

Doron looking like he could be Woody Harrelson's brother.

4 of my absolute fav Huskies, what memories in that pic! Throw any one of our great centers and those with a 5 would have been a tough out.

I get the feeling Ray's living his best life.

In addition to being great athletes and good dudes.. Their BBIQ in college was off-the-charts.

1995-96 Ray + Doron = best backcourt in UConn history. Don't @ me

I saw the photo early this morning, and must have sent it via text to 10 people today. Ok, maybe 5 or 6. I'm back looking at it again, still moves me.

Scott and Ray never played with each other, but have now been buddies forever. Think about them wanting to meet up with Nadav and Doron, and those guys wanting to see them. A bond.

Each of these guys were pieces of the deep foundation in a program that rose from irrelevance to become a national factor and a powerful brand. Talent was a big part of that success, but character and the brotherhood were just as big. Those things jump out of the photo, at least for me.

I hope and suspect Jim Calhoun has seen this photo by now. The crazy Irishman told us "Its doable". What a privilege we've had to watch it all happen.

Looks like the head brewer at every microbrewery in America.

THIS IS AWESOME!

Baked and clicked on this hoping for a Harold & Kumar type of vibe.

I am so not disappointed! Might this be the real Uconn Mt Rushmore? Based on impact to the Program?

Scott just filmed a Cameo for me a few weeks ago!

Thanks for posting @UConnRock

Best $75 I've ever spent. Scott's a good Man.

To be honest I had a double take at Nadav in the photo - at first I thought it might be Doron's Dad!!
Man Doron and Ray are in such great shape. Scottie may have put on some lbs (who hasn't) but I bet he could jump over a 6' guard and throw a 90 mph heater. Only regret is that UConn was blessed with Nadav for only 1 season.
Thanks much for this photo
