Including hanging the jerseys of Leroy Ellis, George Johnson, John Warren, and other well-deserved honorees alongside the jerseys of the original "legacy" class. That initial class was inducted eight -- eight! -- years ago without any new inductions since. It's time -- and then some! -- to recognize and celebrate the contributions of these great Redmen ... especially while they are still with us.

Lol! No, I'm speaking of the Lou Carnesseca statue. I couldn't find a thread for it so I asked on this one.

This post and this topic is ALL GOOD! Refreshing to read.
AND let me add - consistent with statues and jerseys being displayed - :
How about we announce a former player any time such player appears at a home game whether Alumni Hall or MSG?
I have posted this story before - a few years back I ran into Jeff Allen (of the early 1980s twin tower-Bill Wennington fame) - he was at a game and we chatted on the first level over one of the basket - no one seemed to know he was present. How nice it would have been for the announcer to give a little recognition to his presence - even have a mini-video of his play!
Now this would further move us toward appreciating the broad St. John's family concept - past and current players.

I believe the Carnesecca statue will cost $150,000. The school does not want to go ahead with a Carnesecca statue without a statue for Jack Kaiser. $300K is a pretty pricey endeavor, and while many would step up for a Carnesecca statue, I think Kaiser is a tougher lift. I've been told otherwise by the AD though.

Kind of crazy with the statue already made and all.
