Get Aaron (and Pritchard and Adonis Jordan) in the rafters! Hear, hear!
As an aside, I don't think it was Jacque's popularity that got his jersey retired so quickly as much as Roy's insecurity and fear that he wouldn't get a player up there under the old criteria (National Player of the Year, Two-time All-American, or Final Four MOP) so he ginned up a new Academic All-American qualification especially for Jacque. Hey, if I'd had Raef LaFrentz and Paul Pierce on my roster for three seasons and won six NCAA Tournament games total, I'd be feeling pretty vulnerable, too.
