I don’t know about you, but I think about 1 person in a #3 uniform at the University of Kentucky. I am sure you do too. I have asked several people today if #3 should be retired. Here are the answers I have received: He didn’t play 4 years, He wasn’t that good, He didn’t win a championship.[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
The funny thing is at least 2 of those people didn’t even use his name and they knew who I was talking about. The name is Rex Chapman. They knew who I was talking about by just mentioning the number! Why shouldn’t the #3 be retired or at least the jersey be retired in Rupp Arena? King Rex is a UK legend no doubt. I have really been thinking about this since news has broke that Terrence Jones will be #3 next season.
Another interesting fact about this situation is Darnell Dodson was #3 last season. What are the consequences of Jones being #3? Does that mean Darnell Dodson is not going to be in a UK uniform? Well, that remains to be seen. I just question if anyone should be allowed to wear the #3. He is, and always will be, the King of Kentucky. He is Rex Chapman.
