New Players' Jersey Numbers

[MikeCash]

I apologize if this has already been discussed (I've been moving this summer). I'm always intrigued at the numbers new guys pick/wear and how long it takes for me to think of them when I see that number instead of the last guy to wear it. For example, my old #5 jersey t-shirt used to represent Tony Bennett. Now it will apparently mean Maniscalco...

Rashad Austin - #32
Tyrone Cole-Scott - #0
David Collins - #4
Wil Egolf - #21
Sam Maniscalco - #5
Anthony Thompson - #41
Theron Wilson - #12

Oh, and Ryan Phillips switching from #5 to #25.

Last guy to wear zero was Eddie Cage, right?

 

[Da Coach]

Sorry, Mex, but I can't find that Eddie ever wore #0.
Eddie wore #40 his first 4 seasons at Bradley (he redshirted 1 season), and he wore #1 his senior season of 2000-2001.

Looking back through media guides and old yearbooks I have that go back to late 40's, it looks like Bradley has never had anyone wear #0.

However, 2 players have worn #00--
Ben Coupet wore #00 his 2 seasons of play at Bradley '94-'95 and '95-'96.
And Milo Kirsh wore #00 his only season at Bradley, 1998-1999.
