Dee, you can probably find this out easier than the rest of us, but I'm sure State has some criteria for retiring jerseys (Player of the Year, National/Conference title winners).
In the most technical sense, David Thompson is the only retired jersey. The others are honored, as Pooler said.
I suppose he stackes up evenly with the other greats: Shavlick, Gugliotta, Monroe, Lowe, and my favorite Dick Dicky (only 4-time All-ACC player, averaged something like 19 rebounds per game). But I thought Julius Hodge was special for the modern Wolfpack era. Sweet sixteen, triple double, stayed four years, graduated, took a punch to the jewels.

His jersey is honored, meaning it hangs in the rafters, but it is not retired.
With honors

My bad...it was Ronnie Shavlich that averaged 19.5 rebounds per game. I always get David Dickey's impressiveness mixed wih Dick Dicky's.
Dont get me started about the punch in the jewels.
Seriously why does everyone forget about chris Paul being a douche.
he was 'just a kid way back then' and Julius hasn't been so hot in the pro's all 120 lbs of him.
Because he's the best pure point since Isaiah?
