Is Retin literally our best shot blocker?


If you combine Retin's freakish athleticism with Taylor's ridiculous length...No one would score in the lane.

Honestly wouldn't surprise me if Retin averages between 1-2 blocks this year, if he continues to get these kind of minutes.

Our RPI will love it, regardless of what happens.

I didn't see it, but they didn't exactly blow out ECU. Maybe the score was a bit misleading, dunno.

We just have to win this game. Georgia State will actually look like a pretty good win at the end if we get it, and then obviously playing Duke is huge.

Yeah, if we win this game our reward is some tender loving from Duke.



The ECU game gives me hope that it could be close, but they'll probably have the lose screws tightened up for their next game.

Taylor has been pretty impressive these past two games.

I like the two freshmen. They both appear to have what it takes. Just need to get the experience.

they look a lot closer in size than the numbers would suggest.

Hale is listed 6'8
Taylor is listed 6'10

i'd like to see some more of Hale's outside game that I heard so much about, but I've been impressed with his post game so far.

When they stand next to each other, it's noticeable that Hale is shorter. Especially when you consider he has an extra inch of hair.

The whole team looks more explosive than they did last year. Watching this team is exponentially more fun than watching Grant's previous teams.

Did we get a new S&C coach? Is that why all of our kids lost weight in the off season?

I don't know where this attack the basket version of Levi Randolph came from, but I hope he sticks around all season.

Releford's too important to pick up fouls like that

Looking good though, i like the attacking mentality.

Yeah I've seen both in person numerous times, Taylor's clearly taller and bigger overall.

Retin needs to stop shooting his FTs flat footed. I didn't notice it until tonight, but that's a bad habit.
