He announced on 6/24 that he would be entering the portal as a Grad Transfer, so he's not been available long. Also, it looks like there might be a connection between him and Rob Burke. Reyes played high school ball in Georgia, which Burke has recruited the area in his time at The Citadel and Georgia Southern.

On only 55 possessions he averaged almost 1pt and he gave up the same 1pt on less than 30 possessions defensively. I watched all 85 possessions on SYNERGY. He is very weak, especially in the lower body (not a good attribute for a big). He is, however, 6'10" but weighs 214. I think I weigh 214 but unfortunately I'm 6'2". I think he would be a good project and fill the gap for 10-15 mins a game but he plays a little 'chickenhearted' IMO. There is always a reason why a 6'10" Sophomore transfers from a team like BC. Better do your homework and not be desperate if you are UNCW.
