O.D. Anosike wants in to Team Rebound Supreme

J.S. Carras/The Record
ALBANY - OD Anosike broke a school record of a former teammate on Sunday.

He's hoping that will gain him entrance into an exclusive club - Team Rebound Supreme.

The brainchild of Alex Franklin and Ryan Rossiter, whose record of 10 straight double-doubles, was snapped by Anosike on Sunday, Team Rebound Supreme began during the 2009-10 season. Franklin and Rossiter started as a friendly competition to see who would grab more rebounds.

Anosike wants in.

“I've been trying to get in for a while now,” said Anosike, following Siena's 72-60 victory over Niagara in downtown Albany.

After acknowledging that his acceptance was up to Franklin and Rossiter -- two of the top rebounders ever to play for the Saints -- Anosike fired off some friendly shots to his former teammates.

First he this to say about snapping Rossiter's school record for consecutive double-doubles. 

“I'm sure Ryan is feeling a little bitter over in France, about me breaking his record.”

Then, he had this to say about Franklin.

“I think Alex doesn't realize that I average more rebounds than he did. In some ways, I want to kick him out of Team Rebound Supreme.”

In the end, there may still only be two members of Team Rebound Supreme, but Anosike is currently the nation's leading rebounder, at 12.4 rebounds per game. 

“Obviously, he is an outstanding player," said Siena coach Mitch Buonaguro. "We have geared a lot of our stuff around him.”
