Huskies of Honor

 * Nominator(s): –Grondemar 04:44, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

This list was the first article I ever wrote for Wikipedia, back just over one year ago. Although at the time I brought the list to peer review, I never nominated it for featured status due to looking for more information and sources. Inspired by the edits of an IP, I have reconsidered and reformatted the list, and now bring it up for consideration as a featured list candidate.

Huskies of Honor is a recognition program similar to a Hall of Fame sponsored by the Connecticut Huskies. This list notes the names of the honorees, which include players, coaches, and teams from the men's and women's basketball programs as well as one athletic director. I believe that this list is currently at featured list quality; please review and provide your comments as to whether you agree. –Grondemar 04:44, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

 * OK, after an eventful few days where the Huskies won the 2011 National Championship and Kemba Walker was inducted into the Huskies of Honor at a surprise ceremony in Storrs, the list has updated to reflect the new addition and all new information has been sourced. I'd like to thank User:NationalFlagBlue and the IP editors who beat me to the punch in updating the article; I only needed to do a little cleanup. –Grondemar 23:59, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

 * It is unclear to me whether this is for basketball only or all sports.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 18:05, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately the university has never stated whether the "Huskies of Honor" program is reserved for only men's and women's basketball or will be expanded to cover other sports. Right now the only member of the Huskies of Honor from outside basketball is John Toner, who was elected as athletic direction but before that was the football head coach.  I once asked Randy Edsall at an open event whether the school was considering extending the Huskies of Honor to the football program, and he indicated that UConn was actively looking into that.  Of course, now that he has departed it's unclear when if ever this extension will take place.  I wish the article could be clearer but unfortunately it can only as clear as UConn allows it to be. –Grondemar 22:55, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your support! I hope you don't mind I fixed the bolding above. –Grondemar 00:36, 22 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Note to anyone reviewing: I will be on vacation and completely away from the Internet until May 2. I will reply to any further comments then. –Grondemar 16:59, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Support With full note of my bias as a UConn undergrad and law student. :) Should the program be extended to other sports obviously the lead will need reworking (goes into the history of the bball programs), but as is it's fine. Staxringold talkcontribs 22:28, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
