SPENCER E. DUNKLEY
Men’s Basketball (1989-93)
The finest true center in University of Delaware men’s basketball history, Spencer Dunkley quickly went from a freshman backup to an National Basketball Association prospect under UD Hall of Fame head coach Steve Steinwedel.
The 6-11 native of Wolverhampton, England dominated North Atlantic Conference opponents as an intimidating shot-blocker, tenacious rebounder, and dependable scorer during his career in the early 1990’s.
He led the Blue Hens to back-to-back NAC titles and NCAA Tournament appearances in 1992 and 1993, leading the 1991-92 squad to the best season in school history with a mark of 27-4.
He earned first team All-District, first team All-NAC, and second team All-East (ECAC) honors as a senior in 1993 and was selected in the second round of the NBA draft later that year by the Indiana Pacers.
He set 12 school records during his career, including career rebounds (a one-time NAC record of 916) and blocked shots (195), and his 1,154 points ranked him No. 11 all-time at Delaware upon graduation. He also was named to the Delaware Men’s Basketball 100th Anniversary All-Time team.
A 1993 Delaware graduate, he later enjoyed a 10-year professional basketball career overseas in Israel, Italy, Spain, France, and Russia. He also served as head boy's basketball coach at nearby Appoquinimink High School in 2009-12.
