CATS - BY THE NUMBERS: WHO IS THE VERY BEST? - #15

In sports one of the highest honors a player can recieve is to have his number retired, never to be used again. In Chicago there will be no more #23 for the Bulls, no #3 in New York for the Yankees, or #13 in Miami for the Dolphins. Just mentioning these sacred numbers and people will know exactly who is being discussed.

But what about at UK? Here at the University of Kentucky they don't retire the numbers, but the jersey's of the greats who wear them. But what if the they did retire the numbers? Who would be the very best? Would #24 be Mashburn or Walker? Would #10 be Dampier, Minniefield, or Bogans?

Here are the voting results so far:

#00: Tony Delk Vote for #00
#1: Cliff Hawkins Vote for #1
#2: Ravi Moss Vote for #2
#3: Rex Chapman Vote for #3
#4: Kyle Macy Vote for #4
#5: Wayne Turner Vote for #5
#6 Cliff Hagan Vote for #6
#7 Guy Strong Vote for #7
#8 Marvin Akers Vote for #8
#9 Bill Spicer Vote for #9
#10 Louie Dampier Vote for #10
#11 Sean Woods Vote for #11
#12 Ralph Beard Vote for #12
#13 Nazr Mohammed Vote for #13
#14 Eric Daniels Vote for #14

Comment by Nathan Brooks on May 28, 2009 at 11:57am: I was a huge Sheppard fan, but it has to be Groza.

Comment by Grammy Rosebud on May 28, 2009 at 10:20am: Yes, Groza was fantastic and probably was the best #15 so far but...I just had to vote for Shep. Loved that kid. Ed Davender was another good one and a favorite of my daughter. One time when we were privileged to attend a closed practice of the Cats, we were taking pictures afterwards. Davender sat by my daughter on a step for a picture and his sweaty arm touched hers. She announced to us later that she was never again going to wash her arm! She was every bit of about 10 years old at the time. Nevertheless, it's Shep for me.

Comment by The Krystal Ball on May 28, 2009 at 9:55am: There are some great players on this list...but Groza was one of the best ever to play at UK...and also one of the Fabulous Five...

Comment by Shannon Fussell on May 28, 2009 at 5:16am: I have to go with Sheppard. Got a UK basketball signed by him.

Comment by Rob Elliott on May 27, 2009 at 10:32pm: If anybody remembers Steve Williams they are the greatest UK basketball fan alive...

Tough calls on this one... I loved Davender, Shep was great, but Groza is the man.
