Let the speculation begin...

For those who are curious these are the criteria for jersey retirement eligibility:

Eligibility
Must have degree from Xavier.
Must be a member of the Xavier Athletics HOF.
Individual honors and statistical milestones must be among the elite of his/her sport.
Team success at Xavier is a major factor, including championships and NCAA Tournament success.
Team winning percentage during career must be 65% or more.
Professional basketball success after Xavier may be considered.

The team winning percentage knocks Steve Thomas out i believe

That's a little confusing, as the award is for the individual, not the team he happened to play on.

Supposedly it's a way of keeping from someone who was merely stat padding in the Hall of Fame, but it's been universally accepted that Steve Thomas had put up ridiculous numbers in a different era. Without him Xavier would have been abysmally bad at that time.

It's Xavier's rule so they can make an exception if they want. Perhaps they will at some point, but it may take the efforts of those who saw him play to get it done

And that group is slowly dying off.

That's true.

That's true.

It makes no sense to me that #41 isn’t hanging from the rafters

Agree. James Posey was ELITE!
