Why did Devin

[Samuel S]

Change to #41? I hadn't even noticed until my daughter asked me.

Go F yourself, moron.

Go F yourself, moron.

I typically do.

I typically do.

I guess it is true, everyone can find a mate, even if for you it is rosy palm and her 5 sisters

Short of a child....who cares ?

You're looking to get booted again I see.

Personally, I think the change was due to him not wanting to stay in Kevin Jones' shadow

Looks like Paige doesn't care about that shadow, because he changed from "0" to the number 5 this season.

ok......... and Paige isn't competing to be one of the greatest big men in our school's history either...

I thought maybe he lost a bet to Paige because Devin has seniority and I assume otherwise could have whatever number he wants. 41 (is 4+1=5, just a coincidence?) is not a number I associate with anyone's favorite or lucky number. The only NBA guy I can think of who wore 41 was Wes Unseld but he retired long before Devin was born (although there are some similarities in their games).

How about this theory:

Kevin Jones:

5th all time scoring
17th all time 3s made
4th all time rebounds obtained
1st all time offensive rebounds obtained
21st all time rebounds per game average
8th all time blocked shots
18th all time blocks per game
2nd all time minutes played
18th all time average minutes per game
6th all time games played at WVU
13th all time games started at WVU
6th all time in double doubles
2nd all time in double-digit scoring efforts
14th all time in 20pt performances

I'd say there is a good argument for Kevin Jones to one day be in consideration for a jersey retirement at WVU.

Let's assume Devin Williams stays all four years (which isn't likely). He could easily compete to rank just as high as KJ in terms of jersey-retirement status............. both can't have #5 retired though
