Austin Reaves 6-5 g Is officially a Shocker!

Love his handles and passing, obviously he can score a little.

I'd hate to see the 25 players in Arkansas better than him

Pistol Pete is my favorite Non Shocker player ever. Just think if his long shots back then were worth 3 and not 2. He wore number #23 at LSU which happens to be the # of FVV who is also a ball wizard. Calvin Murphy also scored lots of points in College for Niagara back then. Calvin had to box the ears of some larger NBA players that tried to mess with him.

You can't have too many scorers and shooters. Playing 2A may not get you much ink but we find such players and it is not uncommon for 3G to do so as we all know.

That or who stays as a walk on....

has anyone ever done that?

[pinstripers]

All I've found is that it is a 2A Arkansas School. So very low level competition. Either way, 73 points in a game isn't easy.

Dean Wade is a 2A player starting in the Big 12 as a freshman

I'm referring to players that are already walkons that might get a scholarship next year.

[AndShock]

Yes please.

[60Shock]

And who's to say he couldn't put on another inch or two?

[wu_shizzle]

There's some video of him playing against what looks like higher level AAU players and the results are the same.

I see a true PG with quite a skill set.

And you can't have too many of those.

I noticed the game he dropped 73 in was against a 5A school in the state.

OK the most noticeable thing except the tremendous shooting and passing and short shorts was the total lack of a black athlete on the other sec schools.

Kid is six five legit...

[shoxlax]

Here's the deal.....when he visits it needs to be a memorable experience. So memorable that he commits before his recruiting completely blows up, which it will.


On another note, this kid has so much Karl Papke in his game it's eerie.
