GMac and Hak Headed to the Rafters

[CuseTG2003]

CJ and Etan would be my next two, but neither clears the bar and I love both. Dion, Johnny, and MCW would’ve had a decent shot IMO had they stuck around.

 

[CuseTG2003]

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

Love Jerami, but NBA success should have no bearing. It’s about what they did here.

 

[MSOrange]

They did a great job with this video

True, honestly after these two I think we're good. Really isn't anyone else that meets the success they had here.

 

[Trueblue25]

CJ Fair’s the next tier, beyond him no one imo.

 

[rrlbees]

Vaughan Harper. Averaged a double double in his career here.

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

He was also on two VERY good teams - one Final Four, one loss to sneaky Dayton.

He barely even played his freshman year though. One year getting 12 and 7 or whatever on a team that lost in the second round ain’t getting your jersey in the rafters.

Etan is a good one. I think he deserves it.

 

[OrangeDW]

seeing that video above made me think….Autry probably has a better case than anyone that’s played post 2006.

 

[Cheriehoop]

John Wallace - has he been honored?

 

[OrangeDW]

John Wallace - has he been honored?

Yes, a couple years ago.

Not good enough.

 

[Red Holzman]

20 years...
WOW
Nice to see #'s retired to hang in the rafters to forever those great players and memories.
That entire team was special.

 

[jordville]

Hak...

 

[jordville]

Dion...

Of course he said that.

I think it should be limited to what you did while at Cuse. Even if we considered his pro career, he has made himself into a very good player but not an allstar, at least not yet.

It's been so long since we've had a true all time great player here, I think we're lowering the bar for what we consider great because we want to have one so badly.

 

[sufandu]

Etan is a good one. I think he deserves it.

Not the flash of our elite offensively skilled guys but he may be our best ever defender and he eventually turned himself into a reliable inside scorer.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Get the buses fueled up from Scranton.

Grant dropped 44 against the Knicks last night. He’s become an All Star caliber player in the NBA.

 

[Trueblue25]

Not good enough.

Agreed.

Not sure we’ll see anyone worthy until the next staff rebuilds the culture here

 

[Cusefan0307]

Grant dropped 44 against the Knicks last night. He’s become an All Star caliber player in the NBA.

Averaged 7.5 ppg at Syracuse. There’s a 100 other guys more worthy than him. IMO nobody else post 1990 deserves to be honored. Not fair to the other guys to water it down.

 

[Cuse1055]

Dion...

Of course he said that.

Lol no one had the confidence and swagger Dion had, and obviously still has.

 

[HRE Otto IV]

From my time as an SU fan I would say only Hart (#24 points, #2 assists, #1 steals) and Etan (37th points, 14th rebounds, 1st blocks) should be considered. Maybe Shump. I can't speak for pre 1988.


Edit

Also both Hart and Etan were on the All Century team and both were 1st teams All Big East.

Here are the All Conference 1st teamers not already up there:

Autry
Schayes
Dave Johnson
DNic
Santifer
KJo
Shump
Addison
Wes (was also All American 1st Team only one 1st or 2nd Team not up there)
Buddy
Rak
CJ
Hughes
