Message: [QUOTE="Rocco, post: 1394235, member: 51"] No true freshman deserves that number IMO. Wearing #44 should be earned, it's as simple as that. I'm as jacked up as anyone about RW and what his future at SU could potentially be, but we need to be realists here. He's a stud in HS, as are most recruits that play ball in college. That does not mean he's automatically going to go down as one of the all-time greats in SU history. I hope that he gets to wear #44, or someone else in fact, but it has to be EARNED first. That number carries an incredible amount of tradition and we need to honor that with respect. The coaching staff, along with the committee, will know exactly who that number belongs to, if anyone at all. These kids should be fighting tooth and nail to be the absolute best, for the ultimate honor while at Cuse, of wearing #44. [/QUOTE]
