I apologize Dean Reiber

[Shelby65]

‘lack of offense’ doesnt begin to describe how terrible he was on offense (and still is). missed chippies, dropped passes, etc. I’d have been ok with him as Cliff’s backup but I am sure he would have gotten starter minutes again despite being a train wreck with the ball in his hands.

Reiber is a project but is already a better offensive player than Myles.

 

[zappaa]

I certainly owe him an apology, that kid is getting better.
He came in after Cliff’s cramp and made a perfect pass to Ron.
I was yelling awesome pass Dino… I doubt he even knows who Dean Martin is

 

[Knights 1212]

Reiber is very athletic and I believe he will continue to improve. I have seen him in many practices and he has ability to really help even more moving forward.

 

[BigEastPhil]

Dean is a very nice kid.

I spoke with him after the Lehigh game to tell him how high the staff is on him.

I think all Dean needs is / was confidence and he's certainly showing much more of that as of late.

By all accounts, hes probably the most athletic kid on the team and has the highest vertical.

I will always root for kids like Reiber.

 

[Westcoast]

He had an excellent game. Slick pass to Ron, great defense and a couple baskets to kill time for Cliff.

Oskar shouldn’t see the court again that I’m certain of.

Its so funny that in a thread where we are acknowledging judging a kids ability too early and incorrectly, we see the same thing happening to another Soph.

Im not saying Palmquist is going tp be a huge contributor, but I can guarantee you he WILL see the floor again and will knock down some 3's.

Reiber is very athletic and I believe he will continue to improve. I have seen him in many practices and he has ability to really help even more moving forward.

Did you say he is the MOST athletic guy on the team?

I suspect Cliff might take that crown. But its great that our big guys are athletic freaks.

 

[RutgersDom]

I think everyone owes him and Pike an apology

Not everyone

 

[Luvscarletknights]

Agee and Reiner both scored 4 off the bench. Obviously, big contributions when the team only scores 48.

Iowa had zero off the bench.

 

[RUBOB72]

I mentioned on the board last game that Reiber was not an elite athlete but one who ran the court well and was still ONLY a freshmen in eligibility. I remember his recruiting videos on here which showed a gangly kid , floppy haired, almost nonchalant , with decent footwork hoisting up 3’s . Pike has been heavily criticized however he too has upped his most recent games since the New Year began. Now Rutgers must beat Minnesota.

Very true. You could see it on his face. He just needed a little success. He went from the deer in headlights look to a confident player in just one game.

Iowa and Wisco and others in the Midwest have made a living with the Dean Reiber's of the world, they become very efficient supporting pieces of the team

 

[zappaa]

As others have mentioned, I wonder what going big would look like, both Dean and Cliff together?
Assume foul trouble isn’t an issue.

 

[MLBash93]

He blocked a shot and came down with the ball on the same play. Does he get credit for both a block and a steal?

No but a block and rebound

 

[zappaa]

No but a block and rebound

So if I block X’s shot, and my teammate catches my swatted ball, is that his rebound?

Next year if we get a Cliff backup in the portal, Dean can play as a 4 with Cliff at 5. If Dean and Cliff continue progressing, that would be a powerful combination.

 

[GM]

So if I block X’s shot, and my teammate catches my swatted ball, is that his rebound?

Yes

 

[zappaa]

Yes

Geo gets credit for a rejection and a rebound on his neat block and lay up in the 2nd half

 

[MLBash93]

So if I block X’s shot, and my teammate catches my swatted ball, is that his rebound?

Yes it's considered a rebound. Even if it hits the ground. Whoever grabs the ball off a block gets a rebound
