Message: [QUOTE="Viet Vet, post: 4636132, member: 8688"] Just a few CT boys who went away......................... John Bagley (Warren Harding, Bridgeport): BC Charles Smith (Warren Harding, Bridgeport): Pitt Mike Gminski (Masuk, Monroe): Duke John Pinone (South Catholic, Hartford): Villanova Sylvester (Sly) Williamson (Lee, New Haven): Rhode Island John Williamson (Wilbur Cross, New Haven): New Mexico State Walt Luckett, Jr. (Kolbe Cathedral, Bridgeport): Ohio U. Probably the first "big time" CT high school player that UConn landed in the Big East era was Middletown's Corny Thompson. Unfortunately, he regressed under Perno's tutelage. The first major in-state recruiting coup by Calhoun was Kolbe Cathedral's Chris Smith. That broke the pipeline of Connecticut's best emigrating elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
