Rushmore of UConn Athletes: [/SIZE][/FONT] [LIST] [*][FONT=Georgia][SIZE=4]Tate George - hit a shot in a NCAA regional. One lucky shot right? "The shot" woke up college basketball, but more importantly the residents of Connecticut, to the beginning of the most incredible rise to national prominence of any program in history. "The Shot" is a cornerstone to the UConn brand. Nationally, no one knew who UConn was before "the shot". But once it was made it changed the way people viewed UConn athletics.

Along with Geno Auriemma created the most intense women's basketball rivalry in the history of the sport. Before Lobo, Geno, Pat and the Vols there really was no prime time women's basketball events. The 95 National Championship opened up so many eyes that before never considered women's basketball as a fun entertainment alternative.[/SIZE][/FONT] [*][FONT=Georgia][SIZE=4]Donald Brown - the best football player UConn has ever had. He ran around people when he could but he ran over people when he had to. Orlovsky eventually made it to the pros but Brown commanded respect week in and week out and people across college football noticed. [/SIZE][/FONT] [*][FONT=Georgia][SIZE=4]the fourth - is yet to be determined. As great as UConn sports has been up to this date there is most likely one that will shine even brighter, make more of an impact on the brand, the sport, the culture that is UConn.[/SIZE][/FONT] [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
