Douby shooting performance at Syracuse was incredible and Beiheim gave high praise after the game.Rutgers badly needs a scoring threat like Douby to lead the team to success in the B1G.QD was a one-man wrecking crew who could dribble, pass, shoot, score and defend. He often put the team on his back and single-handedly carried the team to victory. His junior year was ridiculous. Dude totally deserves his induction to the HOF.
I remember one game where the announcer called out "Douby's in range!" as soon as he dribbled across mid-court.

Sorry, he was a poor defender.
He's gotta graduate first, essentially a done deal after that.Retire #5
1st round pick, led BE in scoring, best player in 20+ years...other schools have retired for less.

That said, he's working towards his degree while playing overseas...So it won't be long now!
That's a bit much.Retire #5

Do not need to be a graduate of Rutgers to enter the Athletics HOF...Well, I’m a little confused. He’s in the HOF at RUTGERS but he hasn’t graduated yet? “Essentially done”?
Don’t get me wrong , great guy, deserving of the honor, but “gotta graduate first “? Wow...

thought you had to be a first team all American to have your jersey retired. He would be the first man or women to not fit that criteria.He's gotta graduate first, essentially a done deal after that.

My understanding was that you had to be at least third team All America by the criteria put into place some 25-30 years ago. I think Bailey only got third team.I

I just looked it up, after his Junior season Bailey was second team AA from the UPI. The best he did after his Senior season was 4th team. Sellers also was only second team, but Bobby did make first team in 1967 . I stand corrected.My understanding was that you had to be at least third team All America by the criteria put into place some 25-30 years ago. I think Bailey only got third team.
Sorry, Quincy was awesome especially his high scoring junior (final) season but retire his number? No. If you’re going to blow up what I think was a good minimum standard then let’s start talking about guys like Roy Hinson first. And, frankly, the three that have the honor now are right and appropriate. Douby is in the HoF where he belongs and that is a great honor already.
True. When I said Sellers was second team, I was using the consensus All American team on Wikepedia.I also just checked James Bailey'
He did make UPI 2nd team in 1978 as a junior. In his senior year of 1979 he made 3rd team UPI and 4th team NABC. He was the #6 pick by the Seattle Supersonics in the 1979 NBA draft.
As to Bob Lloyd. He made the following in 1967.
1st team Concensus All American (7 made the first team. possibly ties)
1st team UPI All American.
2nd team AP All American.
1st team USBWA All American (10 on the first team).
2nd team NABC All American.
All of this can be found under google. Wikipedia lists all of these All American teams for every season.
I also think Roy should be retired...they are the two. In fact I would argue that’s our all time starting 5.My understanding was that you had to be at least third team All America by the criteria put into place some 25-30 years ago. I think Bailey only got third team.

That's asinine! If we retire Douby than we have to also retire Hinson and Battle (if not already). Douby had only one off the charts year. Hell, so did Riggins! Retire his jersey too?I think Duke retired Cherokee Parks...
Roy Hinson was a four year starter and star on the last Rutgers team to win an NCAA (48 team field) game and was a first round NBA pick. And ask anyone who saw them both at RU and they’d say Roy was not in the same league as Jammin’ James. The three who have retired numbers unquestionably deserve it but because Quincy lit it up in era of long Rutgers hoops darkness doesn’t make him a more deserving candidate than those that were part of winning programs. To the contrary. Guys like Eddie Jordan, Hollis Copeland, Mike Dabney, John Battle, and Keith Hughes were part of winning teams and received a lot of accolades but like Quincy they were never acknowledged as 1st, 2nd, or 3rd team all America like Bailey, Lloyd, and Sellers.Argue about semantics all you want...
As much as I love all the guys that have passed thru here, QD was a first round NBA draft choice for a program that doesn't exactly grow them on trees. Check all the references you need to name the last one, and how long ago that was.
Retiring his 5 would be the right thing to do when he's eligible in my opinion. J He's THE face of the program over the past 25 years.
And oh, he was an All American following his junior season playing for an average team in the toughest league in America

I’m a Yankee fan. Do I have a problem honoring a Ron Guidry with the equivalent of a team hall of fame with a plaque in monument park? No, but retiring his number along side the likes of Ruth and Gehrig just cheapens both honors.
