Hope I am wrong, but I think this is his fifth year. He’s missed two because of injury, I think. Unless he gets a sixth year (due to COVID maybe?), he should be done. Not sure on this, so like I said, I hope I am wrong. Love to have him one more year.
Reeves committing today?
- Thread starter senonesy
- Start date
You pretty excited about ESPN’s 24th ranked player in the portal?
One possible positive is the ones who were overlooked or are later developers have a drive to prove themselves. He’s not in any draft boards so we have that going so far lol.
Looks to have a good arsenal of shots too, went left, floater, 3. Good to see a game against a legit team like that.
Which makes me “dislike” Sharpe even more.
If not that gives more credence to the Wagner smoke to me.
Yeah but they all aren’t reclassifying until they do, like the next day after they say it. Lol
It was supposed to be Reeves he just didn’t pull the trigger on a commitment yesterday like quite a few had predicted.
His advanced stats disagree with your assessment. Mintz had better numbers both offensively and defensively, against a much tougher schedule.
Not sure on the defensive stats but NO WAY Mintz had better offensive stats. Mintz was an average shooter, 34%. CJ was an exceptional shooter 48%. Not sure how that disputes my assessment.
If you followed the whole season, you might remember that Mintz was really forcing things early in the season, presumably thinking he had to in order to earn PT. Yes, he shot 34% from 3 for the season, but once he settled down he shot much better - 39.8% in the SEC.
I'm sorry that I rushed my post in, but what I was talking about was these advanced stats, from sportsreference.com:
Offensive Rating (higher is better)
Reeves: 112.4
Mintz: 113.0
Defensive Rating (lower is better)
Reeves: 109.6
Mintz: 102.5
Note that the offensive ratings don't just consider shooting stats but include assists, offensive rebounds, and efficiency among other things. Reeves shoots a lot, and doesn't get many assists. Mintz had more APG despite playing 11 fewer MPG.
You also have to take a look at his team and schedule. They finished 13-20 in a weak conference with an SoS of 0.7.
Would you be excited for Brady Manek, espns 52nd ranked transfer, or CJ
Fredrick, the 64th ranked transfer?
You weren't talking about CJ this whole time, were you? The discussion you replied to was regarding Antonio Reeves, and that's who my comments were about.
Not wanting it to get lost on a weekend and making the edit would be my guesses.
I found online where Rivals had him as HS class 2018. He played 2019-2020 & 2020-2021 seasons for Iowa, but what happened to 2018-2019? He had a medical redshirt that year according to Wiki due to rib injury.
Prior to COVID, an athlete had 5 years to get 4 seasons in. But Covid extended that out to 6 years to get a 5th season in (in effect, 2019-2020 never happened).
Since he already had his one medical redshirt season, this past year won't qualify for that, it is just a lost year. So 2022-2023 will be his 5th eligible season and assuming he plays his 3rd participating season. Because of the Covid rule, I think he would be able to play one more year after that.
Is he projected anywhere near the first round? I haven’t seen any with him but haven’t paid attention.
Everyone talks about scoring but I am more concerned about defending. We haven't had a lock down perimeter defender for 3-4 years.
He may after he works out and does interviews with all the nba teams. He was a long shot to come to college now it looks done
Looks like Kentucky just lost another transfer option to if they were looking to add anybody on top of reeves, which they should be
I went into the wrong profession. I should have been a recruiting "expert". I mean what other job can you be wrong so many times and nobody seems to care. I mean those guys just pick something and when it doesn't happen they use the old "things changed" excuse and move on to the next prediction.
I am not sure why some are comparing him to Mintz, as both are completely different players. Reeves can do a lot more offensively than Mintz, as he can create off the dribble, something Mintz could not do. As Reeves is 6'6", he isn't just a spot-up shooter. Reeves is skilled and can do everything you would want your wing to do at this level.
Fredrick has played 2 full seasons and sat out 2. He will be in his 5th year of college, aka a senior, but in his 3rd year of playing eligibility. He also has a free covid year. Thus he has THREE years of eligibility left, if he takes a medical redshirt for last season and uses the extra covid year.
18/19 - RED (Iowa)
19/20 - FR (Iowa)
20/21 - SO (Iowa)
21/22 - MED RED (UK)
22/23 - rJR (UK)
23/24 - rSR (UK)
24/25 - 2nd rSR (UK) - Covid

Am I the only one who's kind of "over" letting all these kids stay in school for so long? Like I think the NCAA overreacted with their response to COVID (especially on the football side) some of these kids are 23 and 24 and been on college campuses for 6 years. If I'm reading your timeline right then Frederick has 3 more years left to play. He's going to be 23 in July and has only played 2 actual seasons of basketball since high school. So technically he has 3 seasons left to play? Does that mean he could technically be a 25 year old 7th year senior playing his 5th season of college ball?
You are allowed a "redshirt for any reason" redshirt, similar to what Ryan Harrow did when he sat out, or Jemarl Baker in 17/18. However, this past year would be the one Fredrick could take a "medical" redshirt, which is only necessary when someone is trying to get a 6th year out of the 4 playing years. It happens in football a lot with all the redshirt freshman guys.
Its insane. There should be an age cutoff for non-mormons lol. If you can't get your college career in by the time you're 23 then you've just made bad choices and had bad luck.
Frederick in particular is a crazy case of injury history and transferring. I mean he's going to be 23 years old and he's played two competitive basketball seasons since graduating high school in 2018.
Yes that's correct. He would be in his 7th year of college, playing his 5th year of bball in 24/25 if he wanted to. For all intents and purposes, the 20/21 season didn't exist eligibility-wise.
CJ gonna be the first player in NCAA history to earn his doctorial while maintaining his eligibility.
Whoops. My bad. Was talking about CJ on another thread. That defensive # u posted worries me. Mintz got blown by all the time. Hope Reeves isn't really worse defensively
the way he moves w the ball reminds me of markelle fultz
There's a lot of older guys that do the LDS thing. Isaac Johnson at Oregon is one. Most of them play for the Utah schools.
I remember a guy who was 27 his *freshman* year. He had joined the Army straight out of HS, served 8 years, then went to college and played ball.
