One of the uniquely fun aspects of UConn fandom is following the professional careers of past Huskies. We’ve seen Donyell Marshall hit 12 threes in a game, Ray Allen complete a Hall of Famer career, Rip Hamilton and Caron Butler become All-Stars, Emeka Okafor win the Rookie of the Year Award, and countless more memories from Storrs stars gone by.
Students today, Huskies forever, if you will.
While it’s relatively easy to follow former Huskies in the NBA, not all of our collegiate favorites are fortunate enough to reach the league. Others toil in the minor leagues, or cross oceans for the promise of a bigger payday. Let’s check in with some of those old friends.
Rashad Anderson, Denham Brown and Ed Nelson have all either retired or otherwise skipped the 2014-2015 season. Josh Boone is currently playing in Bahrain, but his stats were unavailable.
