Austin Reaves 6-5 g Is officially a Shocker!

The caucasian one.

Doesn't look taller than Ron. Thought he was 6'5"

With the background and posturing in that pic it is almost like an optical illusion pic. The only thing I would take from that is he is thinner than Ron and similar in height.

I get so sick of post like these, I guess if the were both exactly side by side up against a mug shot screen u might be able to tell but I doubt it. Put your two index fingers together, now move one .5 inch forward of the other..... Oh sh&& you freak, your left and right fingers are different lengths.

Actually, if you look closely at the picture, it looks like Austin has one or both knees bent. It's like when you're standing and you let one hip slip.

The angle of the picture... Final answer

Spring signing period less than a month away. Starts on Wednesday, April 13th.

I don't want him if he is not taller than Ron.

from nwaonline.com : "Reaves crushed the state record for most points scored in a single state tournament with 173, breaking Joe Brasel's mark of 146 set in 1960."

from leaguelineup.com: "Reaves simply did not disappoint in his final performance at the high school ranks. He was named the 3A State Most Valuable Player.
He’s an unbelievable talent, and arguably the best I have ever witnessed since I have been old enough to appreciate high school basketball
in the Northeast Arkansas area. My favorite part about Austin is that he does it with such class. He doesn’t showboat. I can’t tell you how many
high school kids with his talent or even half his talent love to showboat and act cocky. Some fans really like that. I can do without it.
I’ve had the honor of watching him play in all of his games in the Northeast Arkansas Invitational Tournament and in the state finals.
He was the same kid in every game. He scored a ton, handled massive crowds of 6500-8000 showing great confidence, and he played like a gentleman.
He’s someone kids can look up to. Honestly, the entire team plays with that same mentality. That’s a true statement to the outstanding work and
leadership of Coach Middlebrooks."

Sounds like a great future representative of Shocker Nation.

Thanks @shoxilla: for restoring order. This thread was getting creepy and voyeur like.

Could of used Reaves offense tonight and we nned fresh legs Saturday.
Can we do a late season call up like MLB?

Shamet McDuffie Reaves Keyser Hamilton all seem to have great potential, Brown, Morris, Nurger are experienced system players, Frankamp & Allen bring key pieces to the puzzle, Smith & Willis are here to help fill gaps and leadership

At the present time one is a very promising gifted young man and the other is a very gifted man.

Will be most exiting to see the young man grow and achieve or perhaps even surpass the very gifted man.
