UConn players who exceeded your expectations

Travis

It wasn't that bad and he at least scored, rebounded and played defense. I'm sorry , I thought j. Selvie was a good , college player. I'm not sure "easier to watch " equates to actually having a pulse at the 4 spot.

He scored yes, never passed so he better although shot selection was a ?.......he rebounded, yes and was a very tough kid no doubt around the basket, took no I agree.

Defense? Sorry he tried I think but had Jr College skills and was lost most of the time. But he did work harder than say AO but end results were similar!!

He did pretty good for a JC kid i thought!!

Hilton
Donny Marshall
Gavin
Voskuhl
Beverly (I honestly thought he was going to transfer after his sophomore year because of the lack of PT he gets, but he kept his head up and showed a good leadership role, by showing a lot of maturity, glad to have him for all 4 years.)

Good list.

Marcus W. was the #8 rated PG coming out of high school, so I expected something decent from him. He actually went #22 in the NBA draft, falling further than many expected.

It was always tough to get a read on the early Israeli guys. Back in the day, with no internet, not much out there to gauge them before they got to Storrs.

Donny Marshall was another one of those players who I wasn't sure what he'd to but turn out to be an impact player.

Knight and Voskuhl were both highly recruited players. Voskuhl exceeded expectations a bit, Knight met them more or less.

I'm going more by what a player looked like when they showed on campus as opposed to recruiting rankings. Knight was a top 100 recruit, but there were concerns from some of the major reports about his ability to play in the Big East.
