Hansbrough gets his number put up in the banners
ESPN reported that junior Tyler Hansbrough will have his jersey retired after this season, even though he has all intentions of staying for his senior year
A high honor to be put in the rafters along side MJ and Worthy
has he already said he is staying?
He's been saying it the past few years and I dont think I would leave when I just got a National POY award, I mean why not stay another year and have a great chance to win a National Championship
y stay and maybe not have as good of a year as this year? i mean i am a tareheel fan but i know he wont amount to much in the NBA. i hope he does but i jus highly doubt he will. I wish he would stay but i am looking at the reality of the situation.
I havent heard one report of other than him saying he was gonna stay for his senior year, I think he will
but really thats a great honor for anybody to have there # retired at UNC
When this was posted on ESPN, someone posted there that he has signed a lease on his apartment for next year. Not that they're hard to get out of, but that's a pretty good sign.
I love the Heels to death and I like Hansbrough's intensity he brings to the team, BUT he doesnt deserve to have his jersey retired. Apparently the ruls at UNC is, if any player wins any of the playrer of the year awars they get their jersey retired. Hans won the Sporting news player of the year award this year.
I love the idea of him getting it retired before he's a senior
do I think it should already be up there? not exactly
but if he does come back next year ,which I think he will than it wouldve ended up there anyway
if he comes back he will most likely break the scoring record but as of right now i agree with burton, he doesnt deserve to ahve his jersey up there... maybe next year he should
you dont retire anybodys jersey when they are still there
stupid idea.......by a stupid program
screw hansfag
thats what I said, it wouldve ended up there anyway
but no doubt in my mind that he will have broken that scoring title by this time next year....hes what 280 pts away...while he;s been averaging over 600 a year

remind me what the mets have done like this lately??
the mets have had some hard times over the years......but lately they havent done anything that would make them "stupid"
have they played very poorly at times? sure
but they havent done anything lately that was considered "stupid"
thanks for playin
Well, you look at the back row of players and you will find at least 5 who I think contributed more than Hansbrough. Montross was a beast in the day. George Lynch, Rasheed Wallace, Jerry Stackhouse, Sean May, J.R. Reid, Kenny Smith(althought Smith did win a player of the year in 87, his jersey is not retired), Sam Perkins.
They're not retiring it until he leaves, so it's not like it's going up there now.

Read above.

I think that's a silly unspoken rule. That list of guys that aren't up there ought to be several spots ahead of Hansbrough, like Wallace & Stackhouse just to start.

Oh I agree with you. My post earlier stated that I didnt think he deserved to be up there.

i agree
while not a fan of UNC......those two were among the best college players i remember during that time
hell i remember watching the philly news in the mornings before school and seeing highlights of rasheed in HS out there
that was part of the intrigue because i didnt ever remember seeing a high school kid get that kind of hype back then.......then seeing him play at UNC was something special
i dont care what award anybody wins.......rasheed should be at the top of the list and stackhouse a very close second.......and everybody else just sitting behind them waiting their turn
Who all from UNC has had their jersey retired?
The rule for jersey retirement at UNC is as follows:
For a North Carolina men's player to have his jersey retired, he must win at least one of six national player of the year awards: The Associated Press, the U.S. Basketball Writers Association, the National Association of Basketball Coaches, Sporting News, the Wooden Award and the Naismith Award. --courtesy ESPN
The rule for name in the rafter is as follows:
For a North Carolina men's player to have his jersey number in the rafter he was a first-team All-American, the most valuable player of an NCAA championship team, or any member of a gold-medal-winning Olympic squad. -- courtesy cstv.com
Phil Ford says hello when it comes to the best UNC players of all time.
There are seven retired jerseys: Jack Cobb, George Glamack (20), Lennie Rosenbluth (10), Phil Ford (12), James Worthy (52), Michael Jordan (23), and Antawn Jamison (33). Players who are consensus National Players of the Year have their jerseys retired.

Co-signed.
Phil Ford was great. He was the master of the 4 corners. Old fans will say Bob McAdoo was great as well. Both were before my time, but watching highlights of them even today is something noteworthy.
Another great I remember watching was Dante Calabria. He was a great competitor.
Well I dont have a problem one bit with it, he the best player in the NCAA and the hardest working...he's earned it and will continue to do so

do you have a problem with a guy like sheed being better......also having earned it and not being given the same honor?
From the list of retired jerseys at UNC that was posted earlier in this thread, I feel comfortable saying he's lucky if he's in UNC's greatest 10-15 players all time. He's always came off as a whiner to me.

thank you
somebody else who agrees with me
hence the reason i call him "hansfag"
Wow thats strong words for a kid thats a Jr and already has over 2000 points. He's a Jr and he's getting his number put up already. TH is on UNC top 5 list!!!
There isn't a soul in basketball that plays harder then him....
Where does he fit with Carter, Daugherty, Davis, Fox, Jones, Lynch, McAdoo, Montross, Perkins, Reed, Stackhouse, Worhty, Jordan, Cobb, Glamack, Rosenbluth and Ford. That's 17 and IMO he'd have to be better than almost half of those to be in the top 10. He'll prolly be like Daugherty on the next level...
I am not taking anything away from Hansbrough, just giving you a reason why he is such a crucial part of UNC this year and history.
Hansbrough has the advantage of being a good freshman on a team that had just lost 4 people to the pros (Felton, May, Williams McCants). They had nothing but role players in the upperclassmen. He and Ginyard came in and filled the holes left.
They were looking for someone to step up and Hansbrough did. He has a blue collar work ethic comparable to Montross or Lynch who might not have been the greatest athletes ever but were still stars on their resepctive Tar Heel teams. But for what Hansbrough lacks in athleticism, he more than makes up for with determination. The comparison with Montross stems mostly from them both being bloodied by Duke and leading their teams to victories.
Hansbrough is close to being career leaders in points and rebounds. IF he comes back next year, he will surely break both. If he doesn't, then so be it. If he does, does that make him better than Wallace, Stackhouse, Wright, Haywood, Ford, Brown, Reid, Montross, Zwikker, Calabria, Worthy, Perkins, or McAdoo? No. He has been the star of the team for 3 years, 4 if he comes back. Even Jordan wasn't THE star of the team for 3 years. So yeh, he's good, but not the best.
A lot of people say he won't make it in the NBA, but how many good college players do now? He plays within a system built around him. And comes to play every night. No pro team is going to build around him, unless it's the Spurs when Duncan hangs it up. But that is a stretch comparing him to Duncan too, but while he's not explosive like a Beasely or Augustin, he is very, very consistent. You know what you're getting every night he laces up his shoes.
