Top 5 Husky dunkers of all-time.

Tony Robertson's dunks would come out of nowhere, much like most of Robertson's game. He would be invisible to the point that you would forget he was on the court, and then out of nowhere would come a crazy dunk.

Edmund Saunders would dunk like the rim owed him money.

Lyman Depriest was a good dunker, and I think that is the only way he could score.

While Burrell may not have been one of the top 5 UConn dunkers, he absolutely had one of the best dunks in UConn history. I believe it was against Wake Forest, he literally jumped over the defender, spread eagle, and dunked.

Doug Wrenn, if I remember right, jumped over the mascot and dunked during midnight madness.

For those old enough to have witnessed, Donyell did a couple of 360 dunks during big eat games ( when big east east great). And I remember Ray's freshman year against Syracuse, he took off from just inside the free throw line ( thought it was a layup) and slammed it down with one hand. To these guys were one and two in my opinion.

Exactly! Anyone that doesn't have Donyell #1 is either a baby or is suffering from memory loss. Sticks, Rudy and Ray are up there as well. Tough call on #5 but, yeah, Burell was wicked athletic.

Lol wut? Ray was an all time dunker.

This is bordering on 11:11 levels of stupidity from you. Sad.

As I said, not so sure on Ray being the all time dunker. I would have picked Rudy. Doesn’t mean Ray wasn’t an excellent dunker and doesn’t mean he wasn’t the greatest - I am just not sure. For that you call me “stupid”.
I also like Stick’s vertical dunking from a standing position - he was quick and an explosive vertical dunker. Ray and Rudy liked to glide in.
At any rate, you sound like a Casual First Night Fan - so I will defer to you on this all important subject - LOL. And anyone, who prefers a dunker other than Ray is “stupid”. Have fun in your parent’s basement. Chief has bigger issues to follow.

Re-watch the recently posted Ray mix. Even if you don't change your mind, you'll still love it.

I responded to another poster who had similar thoughts - at least you did not call me “stupid” for saying “I am not sure” if Ray was the best UConn dunker ever.

Still the best dunk I've seen.

Not to be a party pooper but Burrell jumped over RRodgers and stole the ball. It wasn’t a dunk but it was in ACC-BE challenge.

My recollection of Scotty’s last year is they weren’t a great team, but Burrell would get one alley oop to highlight every game.
My top 5
Burrell
Sticks
Donyell
Ray
Boat

Honorable mention TRob for best dunk ever

I didn't remember we used to have so many great players....

Dunks were great, but take a look at all the players who could pass. Rudy, Doron and Kevin all made great outlet passes and Sheffer's bounce pass through traffic to Ray for the dunk was classic and not a one off either.

Saw many of a Calhoun practice where they did the rebound to layup full court drill where the ball never touched the floor. I asked Kevin once why he didn’t continue regularly using that drill and I didn’t completely follow the answer - something about how the defense is position differently now with the 3 point shot and rebounds are more dispersed. I was silently thinking how can we break when we don’t defend or rebound well. It’s much easier to do when you lead the country in rebounding.

Bad take from a casual fan with no long term memory. Ray was an explosive jumper and dunked in traffic a ton.

You really need to read my posts again - you are arguing against a straw man.
