CJ is the only answer.

No one else warrants a jersey retirement.

I believe del Piero had better career stats than Andy and he had one season compared to four for Campbell.

Tasmin Mitchell and Howard Carter each scored almost 2,000 points. Tas is 6th in career rebounds so he deserves serious consideration. He also played on two SEC championship teams and a Final Four team.

Hi C was the vanilla rock on high flying swaggering teams led by Rudy and the Astronaut Dewayne Scales.

The Doctor Kenny Higgs is 6th in all time scoring and all time leader in assists and could merit consideration. He arrived about two years too early and the talent level was starting to blow up just as he finished up.
