RETIN NAMED FIRST TEAM ALL-SEC ON OFFENSE AND DEFENSE AND SCHOLAR OF THE YEAR 

  

What a rarity to see a player named to the First Team All-SEC on offense and defense. Obasohan just did that. For all his offensive prowess this season, I have said many times he is a better player on defense than offense. It is his defense that will give him a shot in the NBA and not his offense. His offensive skills are like a cherry on top of a sundae. Who ever thought this was possible when he signed with the Tide. Retin could have done this last season except he was plagued by injuries. He plays wider than wide open. It has been a joy to watch him develop and to see his senior season. Now the senior has one more chance to show his skills to the SEC and then the entire nation in the NIT or perhaps the NCAA. I've watched Alabama basketball for sixty years. Every once in a rare while, a player of his ability/ comes along. He is a great player but his is a greater person. I'd like to take a chance to tell him, Thank you, for the year you've even me and the 'Bama Nation. Thank you , Je vous remercie, MERCI, and DANKE. He understands what each of those words mean. He is the best point guard in the NCAA. He was also selected a Scholar of the Year in the SEC. Wow.
