Twenty years after playing a major role in Syracuse's first NCAA Basketball Championship, Gerry McNamara '06 and Hakim Warrick '05 will have their Orange jerseys hoisted to the Dome rafters. The jersey retirements will take place on Sunday, March 4 when Syracuse hosts Wake Forest at 5 pm in the JMA Wireless Dome.

Well deserved.

Trying to think if we’ll have any more retired after them, though.

All the guys who would’ve been good enough left too early(Flynn, Dion, MCW, Grant, Ennis, etc) and the good players who were here longer weren’t really THAT good - not on the level of the guys in the rafters.

Triche?

Triche?

Love Triche, but I just don't put him even close to the rest of the guys up there.

I'd put Grant up there, because of how successful he's been in the NBA.

Rudy Hackett.

I don't think that Rudy Hackett has been retired. And that if I am correct, is shameful

Good stuff, happy for them both

I’m sure buddy will get his retired! /s

Coondog was on two FF teams.

 

[Libero2]

Love Triche, but I just don't put him even close to the rest of the guys up there.

I mean he’s the winningest player of all time at SU and he was in a final four.

if not Triche, who’s the next best guy who was here for four years, Cooney? If we have one dude who deserves it, it’s Triche.

Rudy Hackett.

100%. His senior year was insane: 22.2 pts, 12.7 rebs, 3.1 assists on a team that went to the Final Four.

I loved Triche. But if you retire his jersey you have to retire like 30 other players on his level (Joseph, Fair, Dave Johnson, Rick, AO, Scoop, Etan, Blackwell, Hart, Burgan, etc etc.) and then you have watered-down the honor. He's not an elite SU historical player.

 

[cusefan88]

Hakim is probably my favorite Cuse player of all-time. I will be there.

Some of those players you listed absolutely should!

 

[Jake]

Hackett…………….is the only one I’d consider. Then you get to Shump and CJ…..which as someone said, gets the pool watered down.

 

[Eric15]

Etan is the only one of that group that I would personally consider.

 

[HOFCeluck]

Etan is the only one of that group that I would personally consider.

Fair, Rick, AO, and Hart as well imo but I’ve become much less selective lol

Great video and great honor. Both deserve it. Gmac definitely will be in tears that day just like senior day and understandably so! Congrats to both

 

[hoopsupstate]

Aidan Autry had a very good career too.

 

[rrlbees]

They shouldn’t forget Bill Smith either. Most here are too young. But the guy averaged 20+ ppg for 3 years.

 

[syrBossHogg]

Amazing!
