UConn had lost five players the previous June to the NBA Draft, including Rudy Gay, Marcus Williams and Josh Boone, and the Huskies needed a large infusion of talent for the coming year. They had already received commitments from several players, including Stanley Robinson, Jerome Dyson, Doug Wiggins and New York’s Curtis Kelly.
