Eddie Lampkin #44 - DC not happy?

It’s not retired in basketball. Coleman should have zero say in who wears the number. Too bad if his ego is hurt.
Don't give a hoot about this topic but disagree completely. It's just a matter of respect for an all time great. Ezpz. And if this was informed by some ongoing dispute between cuse and DC that is very petty. I'll assume not.
 
We havent had guys lately that were worthy of it.

Going back I could see giving to:
Rick Jackson-solid career
Rak based on recruiting rep, although he didnt play like a DC or JW till Senior Year
DC 2.0 would have been perfect but had injury riddled career
Fab Melo, RIP, infamous ending
Chris McCullough, hyped but played 11 games
Darius Bazley-never made it to campus

Never thought of giving it to Brisset, Guerier, Marek, Benny etc

It just goes to show how far our talent has dropped that we are giving it to a 1 year mercenary rental but that's todays landscape

Every single college player is a 1 year rental now.
 
What does Daryl Gross have to do with this?

44 was retired in football, not basketball.
What’s the difference if no basketball player has worn it since Grosses decision until now?
 
Complaining about a number is so stupid. If this statement from his mom is not enough then I have no idea what planet the naysayers are living on. If anything it is a good gesture to show that we welcome Lampkin and value him highly. It makes him feel at home despite being a transfer. That more than cancels out any supposed negatives. It is a damn number. Get over it pearl clutchers. Get over it DC.
 
What's the origin of the beef with DC and Red/Griff? Is it because of the lawsuit and Red/Griff have to be on the university's side?

In response to Scoop Jardine's comment on DC's post on IG, DC wrote ""that what happens when you put clowns @redautry @griffman1000 at the head of the circus". Scoop liked the comment -- any idea what the issue is there too?

if it was mentioned upstream apologies but old farts on the site, what was the reason that DC wore 44? was that something he was promised when he came? was it just randomly given to him?
 
What the heck does DC and Scoop have against Red?

44 means nothing in basketball really. It hasn't been worn in almost 30 years. A bunch of drama about nothing.

It wasn't like we gave the number to Melo, Hak or Gmac after.

There never will be 3 and 4 year players like DC and Wallace who will wear that number and make it mean anything. They will go pro after a year.
 
The sad thing is when Red really gets this thing cooking in the coming years, you'll see these same disgruntled alums repping the program and wanting their SU praise again.

It's a shame but the reality of those that can't let go of the glory days.

or the fans who are upset about him taking the 44 are the same complaining that Red isnt doing enough to acquire talent
