2024 Recruiting: Tarris Reed Jr.

[superjohn]

Can he just commit already? The longer this drags out the bigger the potential someone else swoops in here

He's clearly coming here, have a little patience.

It’s been a long week. We need some good news for once!

Patience. I hear the backlog at Tipton edits is 10 miles long.

 

[Scrappy3]

I by far would make Reed the priority. Having Samson and Reed gives us continued advantage at the rim. I’d spend my money here as well

 

[McLovin]

there was the back and forth over a page or 2 about whether the coaching staff would be looking for a big to recruit over Samson and Borges pretty much confirmed that the staff doesn't want to do that with their Clingan replacement. It's gonna be someone to split time with Samson and give teams a different look like what we've seen the past couple of years.

The way I read the Borges article was that Reed could play minutes with Johnson on the floor. I doubt both start, but sounds like there would be plenty of minutes to go around for both.

Neither of them will be playing the 4 outside some calamity of foul trouble if we expect to win games. Reed can't shoot worth a lick outside of 3 feet, and neother can Johnson.

I'm with you. Play the 5 only

What's this dude waiting for? If the parade didn't do it, nothing will.

 

[Improviser]

Hopefully, he's not receiving a parade of other suitors waving cash bags at him or offering him 30 minutes+ a game.

I have never followed the time frame from an official visit until commitment for prior team recruits.

Does anyone know if it has taken a week or more for a number of our recruits?

In the era of NIL there has to be negotiations like there would be in professional free agency. It’s likely that the player and school are finalizing details before announcing an official commitment.

I don't think you can read this quote that way:

Meanwhile, the question for UConn becomes, Who steps into Clingan's sizeable shoes next season? Whoever it is will likely come out of the NCAA transfer portal. The Huskies got an official visit this weekend from 6-foot-10 Michigan sophomore Tarris Reed Jr., and they threw a parade for him. Literally.
Well, not actually for him, but what better introduction to a program than a national championship parade?
UConn has had contact with other centers, including 7-footers Vladislav Goldin of Florida Atlantic and Danny Wolf of Yale, but it doesn't appear either are too likely to land in Storrs. Why? Here's why.

Samson Johnson appears primed to return to UConn for his senior season, and the staff believes in Johnson strongly. If UConn adds a center through the portal, it will be somebody that can be very complementary of Johnson, similar to how Johnson complemented Clingan this season and Clingan complemented Adama Sanogo two seasons ago.

If I recall previous years, they often had the visits over the weekend and then announced commitments midweek (Wednesday/Thursday). But Reed could always decide to take more visits and still commit to UConn eventually.

Disagree. NIL is a game-changer.. If the Math works at UConn.. Momma will sell the deal.

 

[UConnSwag11]

I believe his nickname is “Big Hoss.”

 

[UConnSwag11]

 

[UConnSwag11]

I Based off these videos he looks athletic and has a quick first step. If he commits, he can be an unstoppable big if he buys in to our system.

 

[aburks41]

Big Hoss is a laugh out loud funny nickname

 

[KingAG]

Some twitter guys are starting to say it’s a done deal.

Apparently his Crystal Ball just locked in

TRILLY CONFIRMED LETS GO

I believe his nickname is “Big Hoss.”

If this kid is coming in to backup Samson for a year, sheesh.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Lets gooooo, huge upside here. He'll dominate as a senior.

I don't think you can read this quote that way:

Yeah it must have been someone else I was thinking of (or a different tweet I saw). Either way, even as a back up I’d assume he’d be able to get on the court for a good amount of time next season

 

[FfldCntyFan]

So I guess we're part of "& more".

I hope this is true, this kid can be a force if he buys in to the UCONN way

 

[JesusAllen11]

Reed and retaining AK and Solo makes us A top 15 min team. Another killer transfer and were top 5 all year again.
