2024 Recruiting: Tarris Reed Jr.

This guy is not to keen on Tarris Reed Jr. But he has been proving wrong before.

Every take he has on UConn is wrong. Almost a red flag that he’s in love with Mahaney, but even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Had to stop watching their videos after they predicted UConn to struggle vs Northwestern and San Diego St, then picked UConn to lose to Illinois. Also picked UConn to lose in the BET and showed little respect to the team during a regular season in which UConn won in dominating fashion.

His negative opinions on Tarris Reed Jr mean less than nothing and could honestly mean we are getting a better player than we think. This YouTuber is so biased towards Marquette that he can’t see he discounts just about everything UConn accomplishes and underestimates our coaching staff to a level that feels ignorant when. Rant over.

Tarris Reed Jr is going to be very good for UConn and in return UConn will be amazing for TRJr.
 
It’s all about our offensive system putting him in the best position and screening to be effective. Hurley will handle the defense but don’t expect him to be a finished product in December.

My Bookie makes some good points as Reed does have some issues. He had the worst +/- on Michigan the past 2 years and he was ranked as the #1392 player by Evan Miya stats. The bet is that Hurley and staff can develop him and put him in a better situation to succeed.

Look at some past UConn players and see their first year development under Hurley based on Evan Miya stats:

Tarris Reed: ranked #1392 at Michigan

Cam Spencer: ranked #1130 at Rutgers improved to #10 at UConn

Tristen Newton: ranked #798 at East Carolina improved to #28 at UConn

Hassan Diarra: ranked #358 at Texas A&M improved to #164 at UConn

RJ Cole: ranked #592 at Howard improved to #68 at UConn

Tyrese Martin: ranked #434 at Rhode Island improved to #147 at UConn


In Hurley we trust!

Could Cam have really been #1130 at Rutgers? He seemed to be pretty effective his one year there as their highest scorer and # 18 in Big10 league scoring.
 
I just wish we’d cool it with the Sanogo comparisons cause he’s nowhere near Sanogo. The idea is we transform him this off season into a real rotation player, and maybe a breakout season as a senior.

Nobody said he was Adama reincarnate, more than 1 or 2 of us thought there were some similarities, size, body type, footwork, athleticism. Lets see how tough and Hoops Intelligent he is. I'd wager a pint that he's closer to Sanogo than he is to Tarris Reed by the end of this year.

Is Reed legit 6'10? What was Adama, legit 6'8 with decent wings?

See ddent68's take above. We aren't all dumb and blind!

44% FG percentage is near average and his defense at Rutgers was not good.

No and no. 44% is not near average when half your shots are 3s and you hit them at a 43.4% clip, never mind the added 90% from the FT line. Cam had one of the best true shooting percentages in the B10. He was also third in the conference in defensive box +/- and defensive rating. The guy was a stud across the board.

Hope the NBA guys draft him even in the second round, and give him a guaranteed contract at a fair amount.
 
Michigan was an absolute dumpster fire at 8-24 overall and 3-17 in the Big 10. Reed Jr. is big, strong and pretty mobile for his size. The coaching he will receive at UConn is considerably better than anything he got at Michigan, plus the ball movement will be substantially better. With even nominal improvement something like 12 ppg and 8 rpg is easily attainable.

Can’t believe I’m saying this about a Center but I love his face up game and the quick moves. Maybe the staff can work that in.

He shot a higher % of 3s at UConn than at Rutgers and had a higher % made. His 2 point % at Rutgers was 45.3% and his 2 point % at UConn was an elite 53.9%. Rutgers 2 point % in 2022/2023 was 47.6%, so yes, his 2 point % was below the Rutgers average. That said, he was an elite 3 point shooter at Rutgers. Ken Pom rated him the #33 offensive player in the Big 10. EvanMiya rated him the #66 offensive player in the Big 10.

As for a 44.4% FG% that Cam had in 2022/2023, that would been what the #189 team in Division 1 averaged this past season. So, yes, his shooting was about average.

Defensively, Spencer was rated by Evan Miya as one of the worst defensive players (who played regularly) in the Big 10 at #102.

Bottom line, he made huge leaps in performance both offensively and defensively at UConn.

Being part of the fab 5 does not necessarily mean high iq coach. Are any of them a coach now

Juwan Howard as a low basketball IQ coach won AP coach of the year, Sporting News Coach of the Year; and Big Ten Coach of the Year.

Therefore, since low basketball IQ coaches have proven they can win those accolades, Dan Hurley is possibly an even lower IQ coach than Howard as he is yet to win an AP coach of the year award.

Did he get fired because his basketball IQ was TOO high?

I know you're a troll. I do. But I can't help but get the intense urge to smack the bejesus out of you.

Big deal, Dick Jauron and Matt Nagy won NFL coach of the year honors.

Sounds like a personal control issue. I’d talk to someone about your anger issues. Seriously. It’s a message board and you’re mad at logic.

Can only speak for myself but I'm just mad that someone who exists solely to troll isn't even good at it
 
From ESPN article… this stat line is awfully similar ..

“It’s unclear if any of those three schools were the one that offered Omoruyi the $2M deal.
Omoruyi has averaged 10.3 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game during his college career, all of which has been spent at Rutgers.
He averaged 10.4 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game as a senior for the Scarlet Knights last season.”

What do we learn?

Logic? You don't know what the word means. There wasn't an iota of logic in that post. None. Zilch. Just rambling idiocy.

You want to keep this up?

We know Dan can coach but you also have to question Evan Miya stats they seem ridiculous. I’m not going to look up the dynamic of his stats or what they factor in but they seem inconsistent at best. Many stats are anyway these days.

You add nothing here- I don’t usually feed trolls but sometimes I wish we banned people like u more quickly. (However bottom feeders gotta eat too I guess). Lucky for you we are tolerant as well as being arrogant and spoiled.
