On the season, he averages an incredible 11.5 rebounds per game, and in conference games, it's even more insane at 14.1.daHUPride wrote:RG - over the last 6 games is averaging 17 rebounds per game
Equally inexcusable is a high-impact D-1 starting center going 1/5 at the line in a 3-point loss.Polito wrote:the fact he lost another double-double by 1 damn point because this team failed to get the ball to him for ENTIRE half is a complete DISGRACE.
Just disgusting. Inexcusable.

And the best part is, he's only a sophomore! If/when he breaks the current records, he still has 2 more years to shatter his own records.Cards wrote:If his current numbers stay where they, or even drop a little, RG will set new all-time CAA season averages for Field Goal % and Rebounding. Regarding rebounding, at over 14 rpg, RG will shatter the current record, held by none other than David Robinson. That's pretty cool!! Go Rok!
- oh the joy that would bring me, and the fruit on the recruiting trail would be sweeter than I can handle!100%, yet at the same time he'd be glad to have 10 & 10 in a win than 20 & 20 in a loss -- yet he also knows that to get the win, he needs to put up a lot more than 10 & 10. And that's exactly the right mix of humility, selflessness and team-first mentality tempered by a strong work ethic, fire and competitiveness that you want in any player. He's been perfect for them (aside from the free throw shooting). If he were ever to get that up to a respectable number, he would be unstoppable for 40 minutes every night. Granted, he's not taking jumpers, but so what. Efficiency is efficiency. And it seems he starts every game about 6/7 or so and ends up about 8/10, 10/12, 12/16, etc. He's over 63% from the floor this season. His production has been off the charts. Just think what he can still become with two years left. Just add some post moves to what he already brings down low and work a lot of the FTs, Rok, and you will be playing this game for a living later on -- might be too short, might not be, and the footwork might have to improve for the NBA (we'll see), but he certainly at the very least, can have a high impact career in Europe for a long time to come with good health.garyg wrote:Very exciting to watch the development of Rokas...also he seems to be the kind if kid that wants to get even better...he has that type of makeup....he is not happy with just a double-double....he wants 20pts 15 rebounds and a Hofstra victory...gotta love this kid....
