Who is the key UConn player in the 4 titles who is almost never talked about?

[upstater]

Just realized today that there's one player who I almost never see discussed on this board. A player who was a key to one of the four championships. Occasionally people will mention Jake Voskuhl, Josh Boone, Tyler Olander or Niels Giffey here, but the player I'm thinking of -- who is almost never mentioned -- was a bigger contributor to a championship than these 4.

Why don't we talk about him?

Who am I thinking of?

Need more that that…you mean bigger contributor during the season, tournament run or championship game?

Oriakhi? Or maybe Roscoe?

 

[Huskyforlife]

Samuel?

Olander only seems to get mentioned when the board is talking about Boeheim.

DeAndre Daniels seems like the least talked about really good/great player who was huge in a championship run.

[huskyjawz]

"A difference maker."

 

[WlfdHusky]

Amida Brimah?

Phil made the breakaway basket that ruined Calipari's, "Don't foul them" strategy and broke Squid's heart. Except, I looked it up, and box score says he didn't score.

Oh well, I'm not going to delete my mistake.

Josh Boone.

 

[Madmannsucks]

Rash or Soultrain

"A difference maker."

Well it can’t be someone super obvious. And I’d call the 7th man of the team a difference maker tbh.

Souleymane played great defense v. Brand in the 1H of 1999, and scored a few big points in select minutes.

I thought the criterion was "is almost never mentioned," and I only added "difference maker" because it was a phrase KO tagged him with.

 

[F101Voodoo]

Sargent Preston of the Yukon…..hardly ever mentioned.

 

[Austin316]

 

[SeattleHoop]

Kromah

Super underrated. Rounded out that lineup very well

 

[zls44]

It’s obviously Tyler Olander.
