who was the 1 recruit that got away calhoun years..

[Ratso]

i know bynum was a big one

 

[uconngb]

Randall Jackson/Wayne Turner

Bill Curley

 

[Ricker]

Billy Curley

 

[HuskyHoosier]

Easy. Durant

 

[Matrim55]

Billy Curley

This is the right answer. JC thought for sure we had him, and if we did, we'd have won our first title in '94 instead of '99.

 

[TheChamps990411]

Camby

 

[gtcam]

How many of these are we going to have? We need some fresh quizzes

 

[YearoftheHusky]

Well, the whole world knows he effed up on Ryan Gomes.

 

[Baltic]

i know bynum was a big one

Bill Curley to BC. Calhoun really loved his hard nosed game and he was from the Boston area.

 

[Vuce]

I saw the question and before reading any other answers I thought of Curley first too

 

[PAHusky]

 

[FreeKlaiber]

John Wallace

 

[rip7774]

Randall Jackson/Wayne Turner

Bill Curley

I thought of Jackson/turner immediately. Back then I was calling the big East briefs 1-800 info # from my dorm room at Penn State lol

Would we have gotten Donyell?

 

[mauconnfan]

Travis Best and Bill Curley

 

[Scottobot]

Lamar Odom

 

[Palatine]

Kevin Garnett.

 

[Scottobot]

Calhoun probably only landed about 12 McDonalds All Americans in his entire career. His real gift was to find top 40, top 50 players like Ray Allen, Ben Gordon, along with some international finds, Nadav Henedeld, Doran Scheffer, and some unknown bigs like Voskul, Thabeet, Hilton Armstrong, Okafor and develop them all into stars.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Would we have gotten Donyell?

I would think so. Curley was a back to the basket post players. Donyell was a face up stretch 4 before it was fashionable.

 

[formerlurker]

I never even got call. Huge mistake.

 

[AdamaNation]

i know bynum was a big one

Well he just declared. What a great continuation of centers from okafor to him then thabeet that would have been.

 

[AdamaNation]

Camby

This and if he kept Anthony Harris home there was potentially a ray Allen donyell Harris camby line up and rings 1&2.

 

[Fantana]

This has to be the 15th iteration of this question.

 

[AdamaNation]

I thought Durant was big. That class could have also brought Wayne Ellington and Ty Lawson if I recall. I think once sticks committed Durant felt slighted.

 

[husky99]

One of my single favorite uconn clips.

 

[superjohn]

Camby

This, UConn would've won a national championship or two before '99 if they got Camby and probably would've had one of the best teams ever.

 

[superjohn]

I would think so. Curley was a back to the basket post players. Donyell was a face up stretch 4 before it was fashionable.

Donyell was one of those that sort of fell into our lap.

 

[husky99]

Kevin Garnett.

Not sure hevwas ever going to play college ball... he would have been as good as melo

 

[husky99]

Camby

I did an internship at hartford public and buckley in like 97. The stories about camby where crazy and umess cal

 

[August_West]

Easy. Durant

I know the urban legend of that. I still don’t buy it.
