Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL and MLB. Once that is done, we intend to look at how each team honor their past players and executive. Eventually, we will look at the major U.S. colleges. As such, it is news to us that the University of Syracuse will be retiring the number 44 of former player, John Wallace.
The ceremony will take place on February 29, during their home game against North Carolina.
From Rochester, New York, Wallace was recruited by Syracuse, where he would play four years (1992-96). He played Small Forward for the Orangemen, and would be named a First Team Big East Selection twice (1995 & 1996). Wallace was also named a Second Team All-American in 1996. That year, he took Syracuse to the NCAA Finals, but they would lose to the Kentucky Wildcats.
Wallace would go on to have a seven-year career in the NBA with stops in New York, Toronto, Detroit, Phoenix and Miami.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate John Wallace for earning this honor.
