Gorham doesn’t have Rodman’s ability to quickly jump multiple times in a row but he does have his knack for positioning.
I continue to be amazed at how Justin sometimes gets boxed out under the basket yet is still able to get the rebound by going horizontal. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen someone do that as often as him.
If you ever played the 4 or 5, then you know how fun it is to watch him battle.
it was dejon and gorham…but dejon post included greshman and insinuated it was both of them…but it wasnt official or anything, im sure theyll change their mind if its the right decision
I think that the two guys who did the broadcast and clearly were P5 guys who basically spent a lot of time talking about the big 10 schools being so good compared to the AAC people actually said one really good thing and a compliment about the Houston Cougars. He said that as a team we are relentless when it comes to rebounding. I thought and think that is true because every one on the team goes after rebounds and loose balls.
His only problem last year was I’m not sure he knew his role and was very tentative.
This year he hustles his rear off and doesn’t get all rattled when he misses a shot.
He is our most improved player and the younger guys like Mark, Roberts and Shead will learn from his leadership
Gorham is a rebounding machine and 9 offensive and 19 total rebounds is great, a combination of hustle, blocking out and knowing when to jump.
Outrebounding SMU 45-32 was a big element of the win.
It was a different style game in the 1960s and '70s, but UH had school-record 91 rebounds in a game against Rice in 1974.
NCAA record: Kentucky 108 rebounds vs. Mississippi in 1964.
Just wondering to what extent he is the poster child for Sampson when it comes to player development. Anybody know if he was this type of player in HS or Towson?
Gorham has easily been this team’s MVP this year. One of the commentators last night said Gorham can beat you with just his rebounding and I agree. His offensive rebounds down the stretch were daggers. It would be nice if Sampson can somehow get Chaney to rebound like that to give Justin more time to rest on the bench. Gorham is playing so many minutes and plays those minutes so hard that I’m worried about him wearing down before the year ends.
