Was his first year mournings first year?
How come he wasn't given four years?

He was busy getting sexed his freshman year. Why didn't he red shirt his fresh year? |

Those years were the best. Mourning was my favorite hoya all time. Only JT can give him a run for his money in the toughness dept. |

It's difficult to believe that it's taken this long for Deke to have been honored in this fashion. Obviously, very, very well deserved. A great man that the rest of us schlubs are lucky enough to say is a fellow Hoya. Congratulations Dikembe!

Why didn't he red shirt his fresh year? He did. After sitting out his freshman year, he played his sophomore, junior and senior seasons before moving on to the NBA. I don't think this answered the question. IIRC (I was finishing my sophomore year when Dikembe was graduating), the school could have applied for a redshirt for his freshman season, but given that he graduated and was headed to the NBA, it wasn't necessary. There was conversation about doing so, and it wasn't necessarily a given that one would be granted, but it was moot, given the Deke was ready to move on. |
