I mean there's probably 5 or 6 guys Cal has recruited and that played one year that deserve to be up there before Prince if we're going on talent. He was a 2 time All-American and SEC POY. That's great. His teams never did much. Cousins, Wall, Randle, Davis, MKG, Fox, Murray, Monk, Towns, Knox, and SGA were probably all better players but they never stuck around.
I'd put Prince, Hayes, and Bogans up and then start on Cal's guys. No telling how long that's gonna take to see happen. Hell, Delk just got put up what... like 4-5 years ago?
It's all arbitrary. If UK starts putting up all guys that just had a good solid career then there's never gonna be enough room and we're never gonna see any of Cal's elite one year players. Just the way it is. Depends on what ya want or who deserves it.
That is the ruleThink you have to be gone from UK for 10 years, no?
I love Rondo but how does he belong up there?

Hate the stupid UK rafter rules.
Also really hate Cleveland and James.
Deal with it or don't. Don't give a shit
You’re crazy Phil. I don’t care about talent. I’ll take Prince over those guys for the rafters any day of the week.
Let's take Pitino's semen stained banner down while we are at it. NOBODY wants to look up at that rag anymore after the shame he has brought on himself. The azzhole flipped off our fans in Rupp.
Jeez....does he have to murder somebody before we yank that thing out of the rafters????
Would look good in the Pimptino spot. Take Rick and Farmer down, and put up Cal and AD
Absolutely he belongs.
UK rafter rules gotta change for him to qualify.I mean come on.
Horseshit. Rafters induction is based upon a player's accomplishments at UK, not the NBA. And Rondo's UK's resume doesn't even come close to being rafter-worthy.
Rondo was never any sort of All American (not even second or third team), never won any significant national honors, and his teams never reached a final four or did anything of distinction (by UK standards) either.
What they do in the NBA has nothing to do with being in the rafters at Rupp.
They haven’t even put Prince in the rafters yet which is ridiculous.
I liked Prince but why should he be in the ratfers? Dude was a very good college player and solid pro, but is that the standard for the rafters?
I’m pretty sure has was a two time all American which automatically gets your jersey retired. Not an all American, you shouldn’t be in the rafters. Prince is very deserving.I liked Prince but why should he be in the ratfers? Dude was a very good college player and solid pro, but is that the standard for the rafters?
If we’re going on by what they did at UK Davis should he helped bring in number 8. If we’re taking Pimptino down Farmer should too he was a crook and a big ahold in person!!!!Horseshit.

Unc just put my jersey from church league in their rafters....I say we add a bunch and also tayshaun not up there is as criminal as the delk waiting as long as he did. I’m crazy and I’m better not hurt me or players I love
Rondo belong in the Rafters?
KY is an elite program and the best in history, it should be difficult to achieve the honor of having your jersey honored in the rafters.
He was never a superstar but 3-time all SEC, one SEC player of the year, 2 time all-American, #8 all time in UK points scored. That’s a rafter-worthy career.I liked Prince but why should he be in the ratfers? Dude was a very good college player and solid pro, but is that the standard for the rafters?
Mercer for sure to me goes up. He’ll hang the whole 96 squad. Aaron and Andrew too.Has nothing to do with his time at UK. Everyone who won a championship at Kentucky deserves a banner. I'd say the same for Final Four MOPs too.
Rondo stuff is ridiculous. He was handcuffed here but he never did anything to even be in the discussion for a jersey in the rafters.
Bogans and Prince are very similar in production for their resumes to be considered.
Davis deserves it hands down. He accomplished everything you could possibly do in one year. He's the GOAT and he was only at UK for a year. He shouldn't have to wait.
Mercer was an All American in 1997.
I'd say those are four right there.
