This spring I was lucky to be able to attend an alumni event with AD Wildhack and Coach Babers in LA. During the Q&A an alumni asked about the status of #44 in football. While AD and Coach gave a very articulate answer, it made me wonder about the status of #44 in basketball. To my knowledge nobody has worn it since Wallace (I know we gave it to Walton, but he never played for us).
Does anyone know if #44 is “retired” for basketball? If we were able to get a recruit worthy of wearing the number DC and JW wore, I would guess they would be good enough to be a 1 and done. I like the idea of our most revered numbers being guys who stay and represent SU for 4 years, like DC and John. Should we use #44 as a recruiting tool or should it remain a number of (basketball) legend?
