UConn Huskies junior All-American Kemba Walker had a record-breaking season in Storrs, CT. And after returning home for National Championship celebration, Walker did another first at UConn.
He was added to the “Huskies of Honor” wall at Gampel Pavilion.
Normally under head coach Jim Calhoun, you have to be a First Team All-American and then wait five years. But as Calhoun as said all season long, Kemba is a special player. And obviously Kemba meant the world to Calhoun because he allowed his No. 15 to be placed up there with the other greats.
And oh by the way, if you’re thinking of coming to UConn and wearing the No. 15, think again. You’ll have to ask Kemba if you can wear the number.
Here’s the video of the ceremony. Calhoun speaks first and then yields the floor for Walker’s honor.
