    It looks like Roko's seizing this block-of-games opportunity given by Smitch.

    I still hope that Will Solomon will turn things around and give Roko time to incubate and mature.

    Yeah Solomon showed some serious potential to be a good backup, but as of late he has been a walking turnover.

     It really gets annoying how he argues with the refs on every single call as well.
