I’m not against Logan getting it by any means just think I’d rather have guys who birthed their career at UC and win on to have successful careers.

I’d love sk to be retired but his number is a number a lot of recruits might want. I dunno, I don’t care much about this issue. Not that huge of a deal to me
Not sure I care too much either but Fortson is first on my list in the last 30 years. Logan and SK might be next. I don't have a good handle on 50 years ago.

Fortson was I think a two time All American (whether 1st, 2nd, or 3rd team) and would have been 3 time had he played his last year...maybe national POY. SK was one time. I think Logan was one time.

It's not even a comparison to me. Retire Fortson...then we can talk about Logan and SK. Going back 50 years IDK.

I think I was 7 or 8 that season and I had my Fortson jersey on and had to watch them lose to Mississippi State on a concession stand TV at my brother's baseball tournament. I was a wreck when it was over. I remember watching games before that and I knew all the players but that game was the first time a loss really stung me.

Well it's about what they did at UC not after, IMO. Steven Logan was a huge part of me getting into bearcat basketball as a kid. Grew up going to games but he came in right before my teenage years and that's where I ended up becoming a fan for life. Not a lot of guys make that impact on a fan base. But I agree SK jersey would have to go up too if you retired his.

I was in college. I think they had a juco, Dontae Jones. Dang, say what you want about many early exits under our previous coach but man we were so close so close. West Virginia banking in a three-quarter court shot at the buzzer or whatever. That UCLA game was just tragic. And this Mississippi State game as well.

Went to watch Troy again last night in the G League in Canton. Splurged for a courtside box right next to the visitors bench. Troy played really well, putting up 14 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists. 2 of 5 from three. He was very effective in the pick and roll with Byron Mullens. After the game he was nice enough to say hi and snap a picture with me. Good dude.
