Sounds like something Nolan would do.Another year with no 54. How long shall it be before a trailblazer finally takes the only number never to be worn in UConn basketball?
The number is retired.Funny nobody has worn 15 since Kemba
Says who? No number is retired at UConnThe number is retired.
And honestly Bazz should be up there as well. And Ben Gordon too.
UConn doesn't retire numbers.The number is retired.

UConn doesn't retire numbers.
And Bazz is up there on the Huskies of Honor.
Let's just say it's retired due to significance. 5 (Final 4s)- 4 (National Titles).Another year with no 54. How long shall it be before a trailblazer finally takes the only number never to be worn in UConn basketball?
Seriously though, why is Ben Gordon not a Husky of HonorThe number is retired.

You can't really retire numbers for basketball. You can only use numbers 0 - 5 and if you include 00, you end up with 37 possible combinations that are legal. You would have to have uber strict criteria to retire numbers or you would run out too quickly. UConn simply puts the name and number in the Huskies of Honor and keeps the number available.The number is retired.

But that logic won't be valid after this coming season. I guess it would hold for 65 but you can't wear that number anyways.Let's just say it's retired due to significance. 5 (Final 4s)- 4 (National Titles).
I feel like the number shouldn't be available for say, 5 years or so. It would celebrate the Husky of Honor recipient even more than just putting the number up on the wall.You can't really retire numbers for basketball.

If Gordon : Adrien :: Napier : Enoch I'm on board.I remember in 2012 the season after Maya Moore graduated, I was a bit surprised an incoming freshman would immediately take her number 23. Fours year later, KML is the all time three-point leader. If #13 inspires Enoch to greatness, I'm all for it.
