Response received from Tami Cutler regarding my nomination of Alex Harden for the Shocker Hall of Fame.

Alex actually was voted into the Hall of Fame a few years ago. However, because of her basketball schedule overseas, she has been unable to come back for the induction ceremony. They check with Alex every year to see if she is able to make it back. Hopefully, that will be sooner than later so they can get Alex officially inducted.

I wonder how Doc would feel about this one.

I'll put out some feelers and report back.

It might be difficult to get Fred here for a HOF induction ceremony; I'm sure his schedule is brutal during the NBA season. I believe the NBA season begins in late October and runs through June.

... and yes, hope the new administration does what is right and hangs Ross McBurney's jersey in the rafters. Ole Ross and his family deserve it as much as anyone.

The legend...

Ribs. The antithesis of Shaq?

Ron, Fred and Cle for sure. I love Tekele but not sure he has the stats or accolades to justify it over some others.

Also, on the baseball side, Casey Gillaspie was a consensus All-American in 2014

I actually wondered if that might be the issue. Makes perfect sense.

Slam dunk.

My personal opinion is Tekele deserves it over Cle

[Ashockalypse]

They both deserve it. It needs to be done. They were both superstars of the program.

This would be the perfect year to have a solely men’s basketball induction, especially if you wanted to induct all 4 of those guys.

This school year is the tenth anniversary of the Final 4 season. If there isn’t some sort of reunion event set up for this, we have major problems.

That would be an interesting…ahem…get together.
