Emeka is already in, is he not?obviously incredibly well-deserved, but i thought the unofficial criteria for jersey retirement here was a hall of fame nomination?
if that is no longer the case, you have to wonder who is next. probably emeka?
Not retired. The only retired number on the men’s side is Ray, 34. Different than Huskies of Honor.Emeka is already in, is he not?
Rip is in the college basketball hall of fame, Ray is not (but he is in the NBA HOF, obviously)obviously incredibly well-deserved, but i thought the unofficial criteria for jersey retirement here was a hall of fame nomination?

and on the women's side, i believe it's only rebecca lobo and swin cash, who are their only currently hall-of-famers (although obviously there will be many more coming)Not retired. The only retired number on the men’s side is Ray, 34. Different than Huskies of Honor.
gotcha, I guess i misread the OP lolNot retired. The only retired number on the men’s side is Ray, 34. Different than Huskies of Honor.
I'm sure he'll get an exception to wear it for the rest of this yearWhat number will Clingan switch to for the rest of the season?
Yea I'm just being a smart alec. I know he wears it for his momI'm sure he'll get an exception to wear it for the rest of this year

The price of successI'll preface this with I'm all for any and all alumni engagement, but is it getting kind of silly to have a retired jersey section, championship year banners and then sort of a mismash of them both as Huskies of Honor?
The price of success
It seems there is HOF requirement, as Ray, Rip, Lobo and Cash are all in the HOF (college or pro)Point well taken - with that said if there's no longer the Hall of Fame requirement, you'll just have the same numbers hanging in two places. Oh well.
It's also ridiculous how in a national championship year, they also are listed in the sweet sixteen section, and the elite 8 section and the final four section, etc. Each year should simply be commemorated for the furthest milestone that was reached.I'll preface this with I'm all for any and all alumni engagement, but is it getting kind of silly to have a retired jersey section, championship year banners and then sort of a mismash of them both as Huskies of Honor?
I think jersey retirement has a place as being more selective/exclusive than Huskies of Honor.Point well taken - with that said if there's no longer the Hall of Fame requirement, you'll just have the same numbers hanging in two places. Oh well.
That’s a silly conclusion. This has nothing to do with Clingan.I love RIP. I hate retiring numbers.
Put a bust in the training facility. Or in the Alumni Center Sports Museum. Does anyone believe that Clingan is not deserving to wear #32?
