Tarris “Big Hoss” Reed is Returning

I think Reed can pick up less fouls if hes playing more. Our centers splitting time have got too much energy to burn. Get Reed used to playing 30 minutes and he'll do better managing the way he plays, no reaching etc

While I know the topic of Double Bigs is a touchy subject, do we think Reed and Reibe could play together effectively on the court at times? I’m kind of thinking so if needed occasionally.

Agreed. Stewart as a big 3, Reibe as inside and out stretch 4, Reed at 5

Could be matchup problems

I expected this, and I love it. But I'm somewhat surprised this was even in doubt. Maybe it wasn't, maybe they want to extend the good news cycle. IDK

I'm just here for the ride

Sounds great and all but do we know whether our backup Reibe has enough skill and can absorb BE punishment? It would be nice to have a situation like 2023 with Clingan.

Coaches have to study how Purdue got Edey the ball 2 years ago. They were excellent getting their guards to feed the post.
 
This is great news.

I know Alex had a tough year last year and I've said some harsh things when angry, but God oh god do I want Alex back for 1 more run. The NBA will always be there, the Euro will always be there, 3x national champ is once in a lifetime and he has a shot if he comes back.

This team could end up special again.

This needs to be the focus for him. Him and Samson were way too undisciplined, picking up cheap fouls on the perimeter all season. He needs to stop reaching in at the 3point line, wall up, and make people shoot over him.

That's all about mental maturity, for the young man. I'm ready for a big drop in bad fouls and a big up for UConn. He's got the (not Shamon) tools to be a double double guy. So next year with him it's mind that matters.

I’d like Alex back of course. He does many things very well and is smart, prone to slumps but I think with a great guard like Silas he could be even better.
But if Walter Clayton is only late first round where does that leave Alex?
 
Reed improved so much this year with the UConn coaching and system. Staying here and developing even more was the best choice he could have made for himself. Dominating the paint, becoming a go-to scorer, as well as improving his passing will make him one of the best centers in college basketball. Blessed!

It’s not going to be a starting role at a top program but I’m sure there are plenty of programs that would be willing to offer him a chance at more PT, especially if he were to drop down a level.
