Hughes and Duncan were one of a handful of players who transferred from here and did anything anywhere else. (I did a project on that several years ago. I  may update that list someday). Some people bemoaned the fact that they were "Boeheimed" and would have stayed if they had played more. They were behind Derrick Coleman who became the NCAA's all-time rebounder and Sherman Douglas who set the assist record,, (both calibrated since freshmen were eligible because players could play for four years). That's why they didn't play a lot. Hughes had a problem because he was in the same class as Coleman and then we recruited Owens. But Duncan, had he stayed, might have quarterbacked a national champion, (although UNLV was pretty good in 1990, too). Both played a lot and very well at Rutgers but in neither case was ait a route to NBA stardom. Neither even played in an NBA game.
