These are all attributes that are God-given and very difficult to teach. He has improved his shooting and that’s important. The fact he was out for eight weeks with 30 surgery on his left thumb made things more difficult but he’s worked hard to catch up. I like Renaldo’s dedication to improving and his commitment to our team’s goals.” - USC Head Coach Dave Odom THE GAMECOCKS Year GP GS Min Avg FG FGA Pct 3FG FGA Pct FT FTA Pct Off Def Tot Avg PF FO Ast TO Blk Stl Pts Avg 2003-04 33 8 600 18.2 91 163 .558 6 24 .250 41 79 .519 78 73 151 4.6 73 1 46 61 43 33 229 6.9 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA Had an excellent freshman season as he was named to the All-SEC Freshman team ...
