Retired Jerseys
I've noticed Utah State retires jerseys, not numbers. Greg Grant's #5 jersey is retired, but Merrill wears #5. Cornell Green's #24 jersey is retired, but Brito wears #24. Is this common to retire the jersey but not the number?

Re: Retired Jerseys
good questions, cause when the retire Merrill's jersey, they will have 2 #5's in the rafters.

Re: Retired Jerseys
I don't like the idea of retiring numbers most of the time. Numbers should carry an honor with them - a legacy for a player to live up to for those who wore it before.

Re: Retired Jerseys
Estes is the only number that shouldn't be worn again. Someday that may change but for now I think its fitting.brownjeans wrote: ↑March 9th, 2020, 3:27 pmI don't like the idea of retiring numbers most of the time.

While I'm at it Estes should have an spot in the locker room. The team waiting for him to return sort of thing.

This post is likely straight up poor sarcasm and cannot be taken seriously.

Re: Retired Jerseys
I don't know who else has wore the number 5 jersey between Grant and Merrill, but if it has been only been Merrill then we need to get that number back on the court again next year. While were at it we ought to hand out jersey's #33, #20, #6, #24, #31. Maybe Miller would benefit from a jersey change to the number 20.
