MBB lands JUCO transfer Sammis Reyes
This has been rumored for a good while. Glad to see it finally come to fruition. Probably deserves it's own thread.

This looks like a nice addition.
Been watching the recruitment of Sammis Reyes for several months with respect to another unnamed school. We wish you the best with Sammis. During my research of him I was told by a coach in his JUCO conference that we "didn't want to go there" with respect to signing him. Very recently I enquired with a JUCO recruiting guru about him and I was told "he is batshit crazy". This being said, who knows...wish yall the best with him. He definitely looks like a workout wizard and a future MMA fighter.
Thanks for letting me post.

Very interesting. On another forum last night, I noted there was something weird about his game log from last year. He'd have games of 18/9/3 and then the next game he'd be 0-2 from the floor.HoopsGuy wrote:Been watching the recruitment of Sammis Reyes for several months with respect to another unnamed school.

Beyond the physical, the kid has a very interesting skill set. He both likes to dunk on people and yet he's a very good passer.
The good news is, we have an authority-worthy adult who recruited him, and he's the guy most likely to help him get his head on straight.
Dunleavy has 17 years coaching in NBA, the pre-eminent "players" league. I expect he has the skills to manage any high maintenance and "needy" recruit.HoopsGuy wrote:Been watching the recruitment of Sammis Reyes for several months with respect to another unnamed school.

Apparently it was a self-prepared/self-promoted recruiting video. (See the phone number and email insertions at beginning.) It is almost certain that Reyes's "advisors" edited the video to make it immediately eye-catching to college recruiters who might have an attention span of 15 seconds and wouldn't make it to the later more traditional parts of the video.Jaxwave wrote:There are a few snippets which highlight his defense and ball handling but a series of dunks against smaller competition doesn't do much for me. Looks athletic.
I agree giving "facials" to six foot defenders doesn't show much more than his athleticism but it worked here didn't it? He now will be working with a former NBA coach of the year. Would that have happened if had started the video with a demo of his quick footwork on defense?
Right. I loved Dylan b/c he was a banger. A tough guy. We hadn't had that in any sport in a long, long time. However he wasn't really a good player. This guy has a great deal more athleticism and will benefit from far superior coaching as compared to what DO got. It will be interesting.tpstulane wrote:Reminds me of Dylan O but with more athleticism.

I'm happy we got a player that seems like a pretty good one. But I'm concerned that the article said he's just the third frontcourt player eligible (this upcoming season) on the roster.
