South Carolina requires a 5 year waiting period before an athlete gets their jersey retired, which begins at the conclusion of their final year at USC. A'ja's last year was in 2018, so I think we could have retired it last year but I guess schedules didn't line up. It's kind of crazy to think that we're a little over one generation (the freshie years) removed from the A'ja Wilson years.
The current UConn standard is being named to the Naismith Hall of Fame. That takes 15-25 years for most players.
