Purdue is excited about signing a C from South Dakota State.

If Matt Painter is interested in him, that says a lot

They always have great bigs

Word is targeting both.

I really do love this. I know we need another guard, but I think we can be good as is.

May not count for much but hearing what one of Reid’s Bama teammates said about him in an interview this past season is interesting:

“He gives us a huge boost defensively, for sure,” freshman forward Aiden Sherrell said. “He’s a dog on defense. He can guard multiple positions. Offensively, he can drive you, shoot the 3. He’s a threat for sure.”

Maybe this will surprise people, since people think I always hate our roster, but why do people think we need another guard? Pack, Brown, and Dayton are pure guards, and JN and Jones both seem like 3s to me. That’s five guys for the three spots … teams very rarely play more than five guards. Unless the latter two guys aren’t as good as some have said, we should be ok there.

Yeah thinking they are confident in Jones to be able to play some at the 2 spot if needed (likely if injury occurs)

Yep, kind of like our conversation earlier in the thread- better to get the best player to help your roster, rather than stick to a certain position slot for a guy that doesn't play a lot of minutes. Reid gives something defensively a G off the bench doesn't add.

Give me a Reid all day long and make a spot for him, vs. a 10-15 MPG guard that comes off the bench. Even if the G can shoot it a bit.

Brown, Pack, Reid, Davis, Wague, is a lot of length and athleticism. Throw in JJ, JN, and Dayton playing heavy minutes off the bench, and peppering in the freshman, that's a solid lineup and as good as we've had since 2016.

According to Ole Miss people on trilly’s discord… Reid is supposed to be visiting there soon.

I kinda wish I didn’t read this because I will be very disappointed if he goes elsewhere now. Need all the help we can get defensively.
