The Blue Blazers have announced the Hall of Fame class of 2005. This is the largest class in Blue Blazers history. Josh Dunbar, Jeremy Glass, J.D. Lister, Daniel Post, and Michael Yost all of whom played on the 2004-2005 squad have been voted into the Hall of Fame. Since only 66% of the Hall of Fame votes were cast, 50% of the vote was needed to get in this year. Dunbar and Glass each received 75%, Lister and Yost each received 50%, and Daniel Post received 100% making him the first Blue Blazer in history to do so. Shawn Williams, Jonah Simons, A.J. Love and Cory Zinn each fell short with only 25% of the vote.
