Call him “Poppers” or “Pork Chop” or “The Wrench” or whatever you’d like. You can also call Isaiah Whaley a Husky for one more season.
Whaley will return to UConn for a fifth season, the school announced on Tuesday. The 6-foot-9 senior forward is set to graduate in May with a degree in Urban and Community Studies, but can play an extra season after the NCAA granted an additional year of eligibility to student-athletes because of the COVID-19 disruption this year.
