Stanley Robinson
UConn let the world know of the death of Stanley Robinson on July 22. He was only 32 years old. Also known as “Sticks,” he was the forward for the Huskies as a part of the Final Four team in 2009. He went on to enjoy a pro career, the bulk of which had been in Chile. We don’t know the cause of death, sadly.
