Reibe in the portal

[Iluvsuebird]

We need to pump the brakes a bit on these assessments, since kids develop over time. and they look like completely different players. Reibe actually has a bigger frame than some of the bigs who became physical forces for UConn in the last 30 years. Yes, I'm going way back, but Travis Knight, Jake Voskuhl, Hilton Armstrong, Josh Boone, Thabeet, heck even Gavin Edwards, they all came in and were not physical the way you want our centers to be.

Some took to their senior year to be serviceable (Nolan & Samson). Others we gave up hope on only to see them explode (Armstrong).

Very few plateaued early or didn't get much stronger (Brimah).

Sanogo and Clingan dominated in the 3rd and 2nd years respectively.

Reed transformed in the second half of this year.

That position needs patience and development. If he wanted to, Reibe could put on a lot of weight and muscle and hold down the fort. All it would take was a mean streak and some work.

I do not disagree. I spoke about his prospects for NEXT year. It was a narrow take.

Confirm what notion?

Reibe played great for a freshman big when Tarris was hurt and slow to get back into form with his injury.

When his minutes became more up and down and Tarris got healthier/better that became a problem for him and he was checked out later in the season.

Checked out later in the season. That’s the part that hurts. If that’s the case then he hurt the team by not trying. Poor teammate if that’s the case. He’s got talent but…

He is a good player and he could be something really special in year 3 or 4. I’d like to keep him.

He should not have been stealing minutes from Tarris though. Tarris has great talent and finally lived up to it in the postseason. If things were called properly and we hit 2 more 3’s, Tarris wins a natty and gets MOP.

I saw that Kentucky is pursuing Reibe along with Indiana, amd BYU.

Slinging spaghetti - that program is in a weird spot.

A bit disingenuous to be chalking up Castle, McNeeley, and Mullins alongside guys like Reibe or Abraham.

Don't forget Jacob Ross.

 

[White Dwarf]

Will be interesting to see what kind of money he signs for. Chase the NIL money, YOLO.

No crap, they have contacted or have been reported to interest in like over 30+ players.
Pope slinging something but it don’t smell like spaghetti
