I could see a situation similar to CP3 if Collins leaves this year. I mean he would have to kill it in the league for a few years to have that chance though. No question it hangs if he returns for a JR year though.
I really cant believe how low our standards are for jersey retirement. It is a little ridiculous. And I don't think what someone does in "the league" should have anything to do with it. It is possible he would do enough if he comes back but I don't think it is 'no question'.
You either have to change standards or quit doing it since the NBA wrecked college basketball.

That is sadly correct.

Curious as to which All-American team holds more currency- the AP which voted JC as 3rd Team or Basketball Times that lists him as 1st Team?
Prior to Wellman the standard was winning ACC player of the year.
Since this is coming up again, here is my post from the other thread.
Wake does not have set standards to retire jerseys. But Wake has retired the jerseys of every Deac who has been named ACC player of the year. That accounts for 7 of the 11 jerseys in the rafters. Some of those achieved National player of the year honors as well.
The four who did not win ACC player of the year were Randolph Childress, Skip Brown, Muggsy Bogues and Chris Paul.
Childress won ACC tournament MVP in 1995, 2nd team All-American, 1st team All ACC twice and was named ACC male athlete of the year.
Skip Brown was a 4th team All-American, 1st team All ACC twice and led Wake to an Elite Eight Appearance.
Muggsy Bogues was 1st team All ACC once, won the Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award and finished as the ACC career leader in assists and steals.
Chris Paul was 1st team All American once, 1st team All ACC once, 3rd team All ACC once, ACC Rookie of the Year and led the Deacons to their first ever #1 ranking in the Polls.
Childress' jersey was retired at his last home game his senior year before he was ACCT MVP, 2nd team All-American, ACC male athlete of the year, and before he named to his second 1st team All-ACC.

Wake either has the most or almost the most retired jerseys in the ACC. Does that make sense to anyone?
