I swear I thought this had happened twice already, but it remains great news.
Personally, I think his number should be retired opening night the season after MGH graduates. Realistically, this will probably keep it from happening.As a graduate he is now eligible to have his number retired. Do you think there is any chance he has that happen one day? Kind of as the representative of the Final 4 team?

Additionally, it honestly gets very silly to start trying to retire football jersey numbers. When you have 22 starters at all time, let alone need to assign numbers to 85 scholarship athletes plus walk-ons and then have any sort of historical success it doesn't take long at all to have problems.There's an unsaid rule that numbers don't get retired in football in honor of Castleberry, but that outline of who can get their number retired pretty much points to Joe Hamilton.
In retrospect Jarret did as much as any of the great Tech PG's has done. He was a 4 yr starter and led them to a final four. What more could you ask for. His number should be hanging and be forever remembered.Calvin Johnson would also qualify if he went back to school and graduated. Wouldn't surprise me at all to see him go do that, but as previously mentioned, I don't think we're ever retiring another football number.
I think the rules changed after Harpring, as I'm not sure he would've even qualified. All that said, rules be damned, I think Jack deserves to go up in the rafters.
I totally agree with this.In retrospect Jarret did as much as any of the great Tech PG's has done. He was a 4 yr starter and led them to a final four. What more could you ask for. His number should be hanging and be forever remembered.
