Message: [QUOTE="jdb50, post: 2651453, member: 1530"] Mine was when my Dad took me out to Storrs for a game in the Fieldhouse in 1967 against New Hampshire. We sat 2 rows from the green floor behind the UNH bench. I was 9. Wes put up a big number with mostly long range J's. I think he hit for 40. I kept the program for a long time but it is gone now. Spent many afternoons after school being Wes in the driveway. In college we would go early to sit under the UCONN basket for the first half and watch Tony Hanson come out and go through his shooting warm up routine. There is a reason he made shots in the game. He still is one of the best baseline players UCONN ever had. We had Whelton, Abro, Jeff Carr, Al Weston, Jeff Thomas in 1975. In 78 Corny and Mike McKay showed up and the rest is history. I have always been thankful Corny chose UCONN. He was the first big one. Huge boost to the program. Then came Earl Kelly who kept us alive till JC and Chris Smith arrived. [/QUOTE]
