All of them. They all have been instrumental in this team making the CFP.

Put the whole team up there.
... except for the kickers.
The ring is for the few. Ridder's a slam dunk. Coby more than Sauce. Coby's a Senior leader on that dee.

Sanders came back. Sauce is the best CB UC has ever had.

Possibly two more games to be the exclamation points on their careers.
If they win it all they will deserve a ring of their own.
Coby is only the second individual award winner in program history (Ruffin won a Groza). He is going to be on the ring as soon as he can be, along with Ridder.
Sauce is going to be a like Kelce, guy we all know to be an extremely talented individual play (one of the best), and will probably have a lengthy professional career. Toss up depending on how they consider that moving forward.

I admit I don't know what the criteria is but being a leader on and off the field should count for something. Sauce is the more gifted/talented but Coby's put in the work over the course of a college career and is hugely respected by the staff and players. A Thorpe winner ain't too shabby either.
Sauce should be. He is probably the best bearcat player of my lifetime.
This roster redefines the history of Bearcat football. I saw Cook and O’Brien - but these guys were not only good, they win! What if Ford comes back?
How can Mardy Gilyard not be included?

You can certainly debate the merits of who should be in the ring of honor as it is a individual recognition but there should definitely be a collective recognition of this history making team. Maybe a castle storming landscape with the Bearcats laying siege to a castle guarded by corso, Herbie, Pollack, mcshay and cfp committee. I'm sure they'll think of something
How about a statue of a C-Paw boot on top of Corso's face?
To compare accomplishments, DtD did a full rundown of all members.

I think that should lay to rest any issue with Sauce. Even without the personal award, he's arguably the most recognized Bearcats player in school history.
Ridder, Bryant, and Sauce should all be included.
Ridder has a chance to become the 2nd most winningest quarterback in history is currently 3rd.
Gilyard is legend and should also be included.
Here is all I can find about qualifying.
"The Ring of Honor recognizes the accomplishments of UC's extraordinary student-athletes."
I think it is vague on purpose.

as good as ridder, bryant and gardner are, they don't achieve what they have, without that TEAM behind them. it would be nice to see a "2021 team" designation up there. its unreal what that group has done.

This has UC career stats. Makes one wonder about why some are Honored and some with better stats are not honored. Of course one must consider the context. At one time teams played fewer games and freshman did not play.
Ridder, Sauce, and Bryant all should be.
Isn’t Shaq Washington in there now?
