“The Wrench” is back.
Or all of the above?
“I feel like I’ve had a new nickname each year I’ve been in college,” Isaiah Whaley said, with a laugh, by phone on Friday.
But as Whaley embarks on a fifth and final season at UConn, courtesy of the NCAA’s ruling that all student-athletes from this past winter get an extra year of eligibility, perhaps yet another new nickname is in store. “The Wrench,” a nickname Whaley believes he got from a fan online but isn’t completely sure, may be hung up in the shed for good.

Tyler Polley has decided to return to UConn for a fifth year.
Polley will enter his name into the NBA Draft as he explores the “possibility of a professional offer,” but he has passed on the opportunity to transfer to another school as a graduate student.
“I want to come back because UConn basketball is my family and I wanted the chance to play ball with my family one more time,” Polley said in a statement. “I feel like we moved the program forward last year and we want to take it even further next season.”
