Did it actually get retired? That's what twitter and several notifications are saying. But it went in the rafters with all the other All-Americans, and I certainly wouldn't think this would happen before the season is over.

Yeah I saw that too, and read Painter's quote in the same article, so still confused. Isn't 13 actually retired?Just read this in a CBS Sports article:
“Purdue does not retire jersey numbers, but every All-American player at the school gets their jersey hung up in the rafters. Edey is the first to have his hung while his college career is still active.”
So, no retirement of the number.
He’ll just go as a skinWould they just tape over the #1 or #5 for Zach Edey for the BTT and NCAA?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It’s unofficially retired and Keady and Painter won’t let a player wear it…unless…what if GiCarri wants to wear it!? 😮 (doubtful)Yeah I saw that too, and read Painter's quote in the same article, so still confused. Isn't 13 actually retired?
That was brought up on twitter too. I see that Harris wears 24 now at least for his HS team. Pretty sure that's available right now?It’s unofficially retired and Keady and Painter won’t let a player wear it…unless…what if GiCarri wants to wear it!? 😮 (doubtful)
Yeah I wouldn’t expect him to try and wear 13…not sure how close glen and him are. Hope they are but if not, that’s fine too. Would be cool if he wore 13 thoThat was brought up on twitter too. I see that Harris wears 24 now at least for his HS team. Pretty sure that's available right now?
I would advise against it. Those are big shoes to try to fill and he can have an awesome career without approaching that level of dominance. Keep 13 retired and let Gicarri forge his own path.Yeah I wouldn’t expect him to try and wear 13…not sure how close glen and him are. Hope they are but if not, that’s fine too.

Didn't Woody Austin wear 10 and that's what had Mount irked for all those years?I don’t know if Glenn’s number is actually retired. I do recall a player wanting to wear Rick Mount’s number and, I believe it was Painter, asked that player to get permission from Rick, who did grant it.
I think it was more the perceived treatment of his son (Richie) his freshman (and only) year. As an aside, I remember going to a nationally televised game during the 1987-88 season and they interviewed Richie (and Rick) in the stands (Richie was in highschoolat the time). My memory is that the game was on ABC and maybe even Keith Jackson did the game. Is that even possible?Didn't Woody Austin wear 10 and that's what had Mount irked for all those years?
Yes, Keith Jackson did broadcast from Mackey in that time frame.I think it was more the perceived treatment of his son (Richie) his freshman (and only) year.

Is my memory slipping (please be kind) but didn't Keith Jackson Broadcast with Dick Vitale from mackey?Yes, Keith Jackson did broadcast from Mackey in that time frame.
