It's a disgrace this has to be done to honor this man. He should have been inducted years ago.

Greg Sanders was one of the greatest basketball players ever to play for Banas!! It's a travesty that his number is not retired St Bonaventure has not brought him back to honor this guy also how about Glen Hagen bring him back and honor him also

Those teams rocked the RC. I'll never forget being a kid watching them with my father. Great memories. Let's get that jersey on the rafters.

played on one of the best teams in Bona history. MVP of the '77 NIT That merits serious consideration for retiring #53
