I dont know how it could be anyone else. You're talking about a 3 year bench player basically who was well, at best mediocre and this year is their best player unquestionably. Cant remember the last time a 4 year player was basically an afterthought the first 3 years and then their final year was not just good but very good

Casey Prather, maybe? I think Retin is better than he was, but he made a similar jump from unknown to star player.

The only real difference in Retin between this year and the last few years is confidence. He's always had the ability. His sophomore year he averaged 10ppg and was averaging 15+ppg the first 10 games before he slowed down in SEC play and slumped like fricking crazy in the last 10-12 games. Had a couple bad games and went to shite. That stretch carried over into his junior season. Just goes to show the difference confidence can make.
