2024 Recruiting: Tarris Reed Jr.

Ummmm.... a bit of a reminder for you:

In his last year at Rutgers, Cam averaged 13.2 / 3.1 / 3.8 and shot 43% on three's
In his last year at ECU, Tristen averaged 17.7 / 5.0 / 4.8 and was 2nd team All-AAC
Expand ...
Immediately after Tristen committed, Jahmir Young that ended up at Maryland cancelled his visit. Same spot.

Lol. UConn would not have gotten commitments from Newton & Spencer without guaranteeing them a starting job, that’s how this work man. And yes, they were absolutely coveted recruits, what are you even talking about?. And RJ Cole? Let’s not forget he had an official visit lined up to Alabama before he committed, Nate Oats wanted him.

Actually, how it works is that both the coaches and the portal kid have an idea of how the kid fits into the pecking order of the roster and if the expectation is that the kid should start, that is said. The word is expectation and not guarantee. Practices determine who starts and who gets minutes on winning ball clubs.

Clingan's tourney performance in Maui last year, even caused Walton to compare Clingan's game to his own game.

Walton heaped continued praise on DC during those games.

you mean in the PK80 tournament in Oregon. For this upcoming 2024-2025 season, UConn will be in Maui.

He was a stalwart on d and on the glass. He definitely needed (and still needs) to refine his offensive game outside of catching lobs and dump offs, ImO.

Hard to demonstrate his offensive moves (he had good good footwork moves like Sanogo and could shoot with either hand including hooks ) when you are being doubled and triple teamed. He was much maligned for not having gone to a prep school and yet had better moves than any incoming center to Uconn that I have seen with the possible exception of Sanogo. We don't know how he will fit in at the next level as presumably he will be expected to work on an outside shot of some kind. We can only speculate on that.

Exactly, there are never guarantees. Thats ridiculous.

Great way to work vintage Knicks back into the conversation. My reference standard for team ball will always be the Celtics that preceded the Knicks; various Celtics team after, the '75 Warriors, but an additional reflection upon considering recruiting, roster construction, power conferences, etc.

With the exceptions of Jerry Lucas (THE OSU) and Cazzie Russell (Michigan), that vintage era of Knicks was not filled with high D-1 players.

Look up where Reed, DeBusschere, Frazier, Monroe, Barnett, Komives, Stallworth, and Jackson went to college. Bradley, out of Princeton, would be the player out of the next most prestigious basketball school.

Thats what Samson brings when he comes in and does his change of pace

Samson and Tarris Reed aren’t the same type of player lol. Reed is a physical bruising type of player. Both are 6’10 but johnson is listed at 225 while Reed 265
 
I’m pretty sure Wagner was the #1 ranked player or at least was for quite some time.
He plays hard but has less of a shot than Stephon. He also had an ankle injury I believe

Thank you.

I guess I must have remembered Walton's broadcasting a prior one from Maui and made the association since he is a surfer type and I associate the two together.
 
I’ve known Richard 20+ years. He has great sources

It's not a wink! I have zero inside info here, and I don't think he's committed yet.

But the staff's prioritizing him, our last two centers have gone/will be going to the NBA, we develop players and win titles.

I can't imagine this kid's not on the roster next year.
Expand ...
I was just busting with the wink reference. Sorry if I jumped too soon. Come on down Terris Reed, play for the back-to-back National Champions, be a part of the triple crown.

Gotta look beyond his stats. Watch the tape. Quick, Big frame, Great footwork, quick twitch, good passer, 2 yrs eligibility. He tries to play like Karl Malone. Looks like him physically. Will be great both sides with pick and roll. Someone said in other thread Jeff Adrien-ish
Expand ...
I could be absolutely wrong but im guessing he wasnt in great shape as a freshmen but watching some tape on him he seems very, very talented and just needs to get in a bit better shape, discipline and hard coaching and he can be an absolute diamond in the rough. He looks like a slightly larger more athletic version of Sanogo. Someone said hes a below the rim player but i dont think so. I seen a play where he spun on his defender and i was expecting him to jump toward the basket for the lay in and he went up and dunked it. Very impressive play and i think this kid is scratching the surface of what he could be. Get him down to 250-255ish and watch out. I hope we can get him because ill take two years of that.

Transfer portal: Intel on AJ Storr, DJ Wagner, Rylan Griffen, Oumar Ballo, Cade Tyson as decisions loom

With the transfer portal booming and now in full swing, 247Sports takes a deep dive into some of the latest rumblings.
247sports.com 247sports.com



Michigan center Tarris Reed is the first player from the portal to visit Storrs. Among the things he was able to take in during his visit was the parade honoring the national champs. Reed hasn't announced any decision date yet, but the latest word is that he could be leaning towards joining up with Hurley and the Huskies. Reed, a 6-foot-10 post, averaged 9.0 points and 7.2 rebounds per game as a sophomore last season for Michigan.

We are expecting UConn to get linked to other big portal names, but it looks like Reed will be the first to join.

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.

If that's the case, then it sounds like some of the other bigs in the portal like Ballo and Cliff, might not buy into this narrative and choose a destination where they will be assured 30 plus minutes per game.

Let's get a center the staff wants, and another top guard or wing, and we should be good to go.

Those guys are also seniors so they need more minutes to showcase themselves, so they think. Reed has got two years left. Our guys improve dramatically after year one.

He and Samson are going to make another great center tandem.

Reed having 2 years of eligibility is the key. One year with Reed and Johnson splitting time and a more developed Reed and Singare combo down the road doesn't seem too shabby. Although, given the portal and recruiting it is hard to project much beyond next month.,
 
Can he just commit already? The longer this drags out the bigger the potential someone else swoops in here
