Darius Miller : Should His Jersey be Retired?

     Maysville Kentucky's favorite son just helped his Kentucky Wildcats win their eighth National Championship.  Darius Miller has become on of the, if not the, most beloved Wildcats of all time.  The question now becomes, should his jersey be retired?
     It has been a very long drought for retired jerseys being raised in Rupp Arena.  The last jersey to retire was that of Jamal Mashburn in 1993. I believe that Rupp Arena is way past due to put another player's jersey up in the rafters, and that jersey belongs to Darius Miller.
     To support my argument, let us take a look at some career stats for Miller.  First off, he is a member of a National Championship team.  That is something that Mashburn can't say.  Also, Miller has played in more games that any other Kentucky Wildcat in history.  He has helped lead 2 teams to the Final Four, in which we hung banner eight this year.  Don't forget that Miller was the SEC Tournament MVP in 2011.
     Besides all his excellent basketball stat resume, there is one really huge factor that really weighs above the rest.  Darius Miller could have just called it quits and transferred during the Billy G era.  Billy really did a number on Darius and I would not have blamed him one bit if he had high tailed it out of there.  Good thing for Kentucky , Darius decided to stay.  Miller has seen it all with the Wildcats and has been there every step of the way with every Wildcat fan.  From NIT to hanging banners, Darius Miller was 100 % along for the ride supporting and playing for his Wildcats.  His loyalty and convention for this team rivals that of any other Wildcat to wear the historic Kentucky jersey.  With all that said, come on UK..... put the # 1 jersey up in the rafter right next to the greats.  He deserves it.
