Message: [QUOTE="superjohn, post: 4619507, member: 1522"] I really think Donovan is the biggest/most popular Connecticut athlete ever. Most of the greatest all-time athletes from the state Steve Young, Dwight Freeney, Marcus Camby, Calvin Murphy, Brian Leetch, Jeff Bagwell etc. didn't go to UConn and guys like Chris Smith and Scott Burrell didn't cut down the nets. There's just something about this kid with his great personality, personal story, always repping Connecticut, mammoth size, and awesome ability that makes him special. He wasn't scheduled to speak today and the crowd and his teammates weren't going to let him not speak. He got the biggest cheers out of anyone. There's much more special things ahead for Donovan next season and onward... [/QUOTE]
