Any system that doesn't retire Wade's #3 is a flawed system.

[mu_hilltopper]

Clearly, the criteria for retirement should be that the player must be voted in via MUScoop poll.

Anyone who disagrees .. banned.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Can we retire jerseys on scoop? Or maybe even retire some usernames if they exemplified what muscoop is about.

I nominate SMU17 for consideration.

So a minimum SOTG requirement?  Things are looking up for Crowder.

Maybe we could retire not just usernames but users?

[GooooMarquette]

If retired Scoopers get a pension, I nominate GooooMarquette for retirement.

[ricardo_brown72]

So is Dwayne Wade the standard for players having their jerseys retired?

[Bob "Big Daddy" Wild]

If you want to retire numbers for dubious achievements may I suggest Chris Grimm for most moving screens and Dan Fitzgerald for most "and 1" fouls?

Ha, nice call.  I had forgotten how much those frustrated me.  Those and Merritt's "hands."  Good times.

[silverback]

When is HE going up there? Ranks high in many stat categories. Led his senior team in points, steals, minutes, rebounds, girls, cars, wings eaten, etc. Good NBA career. Good program guy.

[ricardo_brown72]

Jerel is not the only player who should be up there. The point is, there is no criteria. If there is no criteria, then the honor is based on nothing. If the honor is based on nothing, then it really has no value.

Oh it has value. Value to the fans. But it's an emotional one.

I agree with the lack of criteria. Maybe Scoopers can make a push with the AD to make it happen.

Thanks to 'Stache for doing the HW!

Agreed. I like the concept of having some defined criteria, but I don't think MU should just adopt UNC's.

Retire a player's number only if...
1. He is a Consensus First Team All-American or National POY*
2. He completes his degree.

Honor# a player's number if...
1. He is a Consensus Second or Third Team All-American
or
2. Conference POY
or
3. Consensus First Team All-American or National POY who has not yet completed his degree^

Scoff if you may at the notion of earning a degree to have your number retired but Marquette University's primary mission is that of an academic institution, so it only makes sense that academics would play a role in giving a student athlete the highest level of individual recognition within his sport.


* - NPOY should be 1st team but you never know
# - include his number on a banner with other honored numbers
^ - allows some wiggle room to include Wade on a banner

[We R Final Four]

Has there ever been a National POY who also didn't make 1st Team AA?

I don't think we need a dual system. We are not North Carolina. Just retire numbers

Requirements (but do not guarantee the honor):

Either: Consensus 1st or 2nd team all American

OR

Conference POY

[WI inferiority Complexes]

Ryan Amoroso* for most fouls committed on made free throws?

*I apologize if that wasn't him, but I thought I remember losing a game against Louisville because of that.

What university/college would say they aren't an academic institution?

[MerrittsMustache]

Many fans think that star players who don't graduate should still get their numbers retired. I think that could send a bad message from an academic institution.

I heard Crean retired an IU #3 Jersey with Wade's name on it

Joanie sleeps in a Wade jersey.

[WarriorFan]

Sorry to take the subject back to the OP's thread.... but does anyone know where Jerel is now?  He's no longer playing in China but as far as I can tell hasn't appeared anywhere else.  Is he injured?
