Rollins is sixth all-time in points scored by a UT freshman. He will pass Craig Thames with his next basket and has Terry Reynolds in his sights with a couple big games. Jake Barnett is third but probably out of reach unless we make a post season run. Pretty good company.

Pretty good company is right, very excited about his future

sheesh, I thought this was a transfer announcement.

Great job Ryan! Kind of surprised actually that it's only sixth with a shot at 3rd. Scores a lot for a Freshman. Thames was special. Barnet, good player, great kid, great human but his scoring mostly a product of the rest of the team. For Rollins to do what he has in a team this deep, wow!

I considered mentioning Barnett’s caveat-Malcolm Griffin was about the only other offensive threat on that team. Most of the offense was geared to grt Barnett shots. Rollins is, at best, the third option most nights. Juice and
Reynolds were big time players but handled the ball most of the time and, hence, had more opportunities.

Kid has so much potential.

TK set his sights on this kid and got him to come to Toledo. I bet RR is glad he did. He is starting on a rolling team and getting lots of positive press. It's all good.

Go Rockets!
