“I chose UConn for its winning culture, commitment to player development and coaching style,” Reed said to On3. “Coach Hurley’s tough coaching style is known for pushing players into uncomfortable situations, making the uncomfortable seem comfortable. UConn provides the ideal setting and coaching for me to maximize my potential both on and off the court.”

So do we have a Big Hoss and a Little Hass?

See @jibsey, he doesn't have any trouble dunking.

In all seriousness, kid at 250 lbs will probably be a beast.

The tweet and people on the board are leaving out the junior, he's made it clear it's important that people call him Tarris Reed Jr.

Kid is going to be a stud next to Karaban

Really impressed by his quick post moves

I think he’ll be a better version of Sanogo due to his rim protection and quick first step. Don’t shoot the messenger!

William Goldman is right. Nobody knows anything. You can get some great laughs looking at old posts from the spring/summer when Newton/Alleyne/Clingan/Diarra/California landed in Storrs.

A better version of Sanogo is Naismith POTY. Those are lofty expectations.

Well, Big Hoss is a much better nickname than Pork Chop (later, The Wrench). Outstanding, things are taking shape.

Welcome aboard, Big Hoss.

I have zero idea how this kid will turn out - I have absolute confidence in the coaching staff if they chose to focus on him - but he broke some ankles with head and shoulder fakes in the post.
