Maurice Clarett, the former Ohio State star running back whose career derailed and spent 3 1/2 years in prison for armed robbery and other charges, has been a sort of mentor to UConn players for the past several months. It started over the summer, when Clarett, through a mutual friend of him and UConn assistant coach Kimani Young, spoke to the team. He has returned several times since, showing up at a few home games and offering his support and inspiration to the players through speeches and one-on-one conversations.
