While playing basketball for the Uconn Huskies, his nickname was "Juice." [4] His career was known for not measuring up to the tremendous amount of hype that preceded his arrival at the Huskies. College basketball analysts like Billy Packer and Dick Vitale once predicted that he could be the best player ever there.Шаблон:Citation needed
