For Dion to be remembered amongst the greats this team would've had to at least play for the title and he would've had to have a great game win or lose ala Wallace in '96 or he would've had to stay longer and put together a dominant season. 
 
Think of the guys we all remember.  Wallace was a good but not great until his senior year, and the tournament run with the shot against Georgia and the 29 and 10 in the final against UK solidified his legacy.  Pearl was special for the three years he was here and gave us memories in big games against great teams that'll never be forgotten.  Douglas left as the all time NCAA leader in assists and the schools all time leading scorer etc.  Stevie Thompson had to worry about hitting his head on the roof of the Dome and is still the best fast break finisher in school history.  The original DC left as the NCAA modern era leader in rebounds and took over the scoring record from Douglas.  Owens was the first player to average over 20/game under JB and was part of legendary games along with Douglas, Thompson, and Coleman against the Mourning/Motumbo GTown teams during the height of the Big East and prior to their decline.  Poetry in Moten was an over achiever that somehow was a great scorer without ever being a great shooter or even a good jumper and left as the Big East's all time leading scorer.  Carmello had the magical year.  GMac had the 6 threes in the first half of the NC game, the 43 against BYU, and the Big East tourney run.  Hak dunked on everyone (my favorite is the flat footed one against ND).
 
I wish Dion the best of luck and I hope he has a great career in the league, but when we talk legacy his will always have an incomplete in my mind similar to Flynn.
