The naming of Rick Barry is a sense of redemption for the greatest player in the history of the Miami basketball program after the record holder of dozens of Hurricanes records was left off the bracket of the greatest players in the history of college basketball last month. The greatness Barry had in college is often forgotten.
Barry holds the all-time Miami basketball records in points, rebounds, points per game in a career and the two highest-scoring seasons in Miami history. For a Hurricanes basketball player to reach the numbers that Barry put up during his three seasons playing varsity he would have to stay all four seasons.
