Title: I've brought this up before Post by: Black Diamond Vol on January 07, 2025, 04:56:18 EST You know how Syracuse football awards #44 to one special player every year, to honor the legacy of Brown, Davis, and Little? I believe our basketball team should do the same with #5, once ZZ is gone (fingers crossed, we could get him for another year). Loftin is already hanging in the rafters, Admiral is borderline at that level, and ZZ is a cinch to be there in a few years. Since it's too late to retire #5, why not do the opposite? Keep it active every year for one special guy.

Anyway, what happens when it's time to recognize the greatest PG in UT history? Are they just going to retire #5 twice? |
