It really feels like all the former players are fully back in. Such a joy to see as a fan. The Bearcat Pride runs strong. Coach was talking about the UCF game and said Justin Jackson was there. And this is the most Justin Jackson thing ever, when the bus pulled up 2 hours before the game, Jackson was already standing outside the arena waiting for them. And he was telling Coach that he has to talk to the guys. I love it. Caupain was at that game too. And I think there were 3 guys who were out in California for the UCLA game. Was is K-Mart, Patterson, and Myrick? I don't remember. But between all of that, DerMarr and Parker being on the staff, it's a true blend of different eras of Bearcats all coming together and pulling in the same direction. If our All-American players who played for Huggins can jump all in and fully support this program and this team, how can any of our fans still be on the outside?

Below is the tweet: "It's A lot that,people don't know about when it comes to the retirement of the jerseys! If Huggs,was still there it would be different." It was a bit critical of Mick's regime at UC and he then decided to say something nice about Mick. He thinks his jersey should be retired. I personally don't think it should be but its whatever. Only 3 jerseys have been retired at UC and all went on to be successful in the NBA. |

I think if you retire his number, then you have to retire SK's as well though. |

Kenyon and Oscar were National POY's. Not sure about Twyman. If we are going to include all the All Americans we need to get SK, Fortson, Logan etc but what does this have to do with Cronin? Two of those are Huggs era players and the one Cronin era player is not a retired jersey.

I tend to side with more jerseys being retired than less. I'd retire Fortson, Logan, and SK. Clark is getting up there too but not yet.

I just don’t think we need to get crazy on number retirements. 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 |

Also you could go with the UK approach and hang them in the arena but not retire them from the court
