I was thinking about this last night while watching the LSU games. Am I reaching by saying I think he deserves to have his jersey hung in the PMAC? I am surprised it's not. As well as Ricky Blanton.

Don't believe he can have his jersey retired because I don't think he ever graduated. Shaq's jersey, for instance, was retired the same weekend he graduated.

Yes, based solely on his accomplishments at LSU, but many people have a hard time over-looking what happened once he converted to Islam and his protests during the National Anthem.

Was not aware of that requirement but makes sense.

Put his Muslim name on an LSU jersey and hang it up there.

I assume Todd Walker came back and graduated?

I don’t like his protests but still think he should have his jersey retired. He was fun to watch!

Did Maravich graduate? I thought that he did not.

I thought the graduation rule was related to being in the LSU hall of fame

The rule, as I understand it, is that you need to either graduate or play through your senior year. Shaq played 3 but graduated, Pete played through senior year but did not graduate (I don't think).

CJ played 2 and did not come close to graduating. He was definitely good enough but just doesn't meet requirements.

His religious beliefs have nothing to do with his entitlement to recognition for his basketball play. Bigotry is beneath true fans.

From purely his stats at LSU absolutely. From a PR standpoint, I don't see anyway LSU could do it. His current views are pretty radical (especially when compared to South Louisiana) and out there for anyone to see on social media.

I think that our "All Time Starting Five" that would beat North Carolina's all time starting five and give UCLA's all time starting five all they want should be hung.
