[Minicoop69]

Tremont waters have a twin?? He's on there twice?

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Only reason I remember him was bc I went to watch him play in the CT states when I was a youngster and he was the main attraction, but Marvin Saddler. Won three state tournaments at St Joes and went to PC.

Another one is Kendrick Moore who played with Camby at Hartford Public and then Mizzou I believe. He dropped 28 on me on h.s…..

 

[TheHorde]

John Garris from Bridgeport

 

[Ricker]

Soup Campbell

 

[mauconnfan]

Bill Eason
Mickey Heard
John Bagley
Jay Murphy

 

[uconnfan68]

Ted Hathaway, Middletown. Spectacular before injury.

 

[SoFla Steve]

In the early days of the Big East, nothing would aggravate me more than having to play against BC and all of that Connecticut talent.

 

[karstenkibbe]

Ernie Cobb was insane. Averaged 37.6 PPG his junior year at Stamford High under Herm Alswanger. Chose BC over UCLA, Kentucky and dozens of other schools who recruited him.

 

[B1GEast]

Anthony Harris (Danbury). Chose Syracuse

That was unfortunate. parade all American, but wasn't in the best shape when he got to Syracuse, ends up losing a few teeth in a fight and struggles academically.

Had he chose UConn, Calhoun probably might have gotten the best out of him.

 

[Fairfield_1st]

Vinnie Del Negro (Suffield Academy). He was from Springfield, per Wikipedia, but did play in CT.
