Triton College has landed a commitment from one of the top available seniors in Wisconsin. This came from Chris Retic, a 6’7” small forward from Jay Academy and Golda Meir High School. 

Retic has been one of the biggest stock boosters in all of Wisconsin over the past year. This started in his junior season with Golda Meir when he averaged 21.2 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 2.5 steals, and 5.2 blocks to lead them to a Milwaukee City Blue Championship. The growth of his game only continued into the grassroots season as one of the top players on the NY2LA Association. 

“Triton has a great reputation both academically and athletically, and I truly believe they have everything in place to get me to the next level,” Retic said about his decision to choose the Illinois school. He chose them over a lengthy list of offers he had compiled over the last few months. Black Hawk Tech, Cleveland State Community, Florida National, McHenry County, Milwaukee Area Technical College, Viterbo, and Willian Penn, were just a few of his offers. 

The commitment comes after Retic made a visit to Triton College last month on the 11th. “Getting to see the program up close and breaking down Coach Holloway’s track record proved to me that his coaching style is the absolute best fit for my game.” Triton had offered him back in September. 

Retic will bring plenty of translatable tools to Triton. He is a highly athletic wing forward with great length, defends multiple positions, scores in a variety of ways, and is a true stat stuffer. “My versatility allows me to blend seamlessly with their talent. I can score, playmake out of the guard spot, or shift inside and play bigger when needed, whatever the team asks of me, I'm ready to execute,” he said about his game fitting in for Triton which is one of the top junior college programs in the region. 

When asked why he decided to make his commitment now, Retic stated “Triton was already in my top three, but their national recognition and track record of developing players for the next step made them stand out. Beyond basketball, Coach Holloway genuinely cares for his players on and off the court, and that’s exactly the kind of family culture I want to be a part of.”
