Dean Reiber
- Thread starter MadRU
- Start date
I have faith in all 3 of our recruits. Pikiell and our staff find guys who can help us. Too many fans are ripping on these guys because they are not so highly ranked. I believe in the eye test.
Lots of good hair slated for next year's team.
Maybe we should go for the all hair team.
Who would start next year?
Myles Johnson
Ron Harper
Caleb
Rieber
Anyone else, or do we to sign more guys?
And who would make RU’s all-time hair team?
Myles HAS to be on that team.
Craig Carter, too.
Pike has a plan for his madness. Pike isn't recruiting kids based on stars. Guys are pieces of the puzzle, and that puzzle is coming together.
Chemistry + talent + coachable +will to win = success in the B1G
Chemistry + talent + coachable +will to win = success in the B1G
Arella Guirantes tops the RU all hair list in my opinion
Thank you for posting something of actual substance. Kid sounds like a steal.
Wonder how legit that 6' 9" is. Sounds like he could develop into a Yeboah-like skill set, which would be awesome. I don't expect that next year, of course.
As someone who went to Middle school in Greensboro and moved to NJ one month prior to starting high school at Grimsley...

Nice! The report below from your link is worth reposting. Based on his video below, I'd say he's moderately athletic for a 6'9" guy (not explosively athletic), but he also seems to have nice all around skill set. Nice outside shot with a high release point and seems to know what to do around the basket. A lot to like and I think he'll fit in well here and hopefully be brought along at the right pace (which Pike does well).
6’9 ’20 Dean Reiber
The Rutgers signee continues to be problematic for all types of opponents, given his terrific blend of size, skill, and athleticism. Those attributes have always been his foundation but have only gotten better over time. Reiber operates very well out of the post, where he displays great IQ, vision, footwork, and quality touch with either hand. He has the ability to step out and reliably knock down jumpers from midrange or beyond the arc but also attacks closeouts quite well for a big man. Reiber has great rim-protection instincts, runs the floor extremely well, and finishes with consistency around the basket. He seems to keep getting better and better. Final stats: 17 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks.
Donnell Lumpkin is the captain of the all hair team
I'm surprised his teammate, 6'2" PG Christian Hampton has no offers or stars - impressive on film to me...
I think Appalachian State and ECU are involved. But I agree, I was impressed with him too.
Highlights from latest game. Looks lethargic on defensive end and doesn't seem passionate about rebounding , but I think he is a legit 6'-9" and have read that he has a 7' wingspan. A little bit of a project imo, but can see potential to develop into a BIG10 contributor. Hampton has Corey Sanders like hops.
I know this becomes a meme every year but he's a possible redshirt candidate IF we get another big man (Cliff or a grad transfer). Mag and Palmquist seem more ready to contribute next season.
Agree 100% and purposely didn't mention redshirt. Don't have a guy like this on our current squad (stretch 4) but other teams in the league do. Agree Mag can contribute early as a scrapper, but can't really speculate on Palmquist.
Unless Myles and Ron do the “upperclassman” thing and cut it low. Can we get an interview with these guys about future hair plans please ?
ECU coached by NJ native Joe Dooley, who had a very successful run down here in southwest Florida at FGCU, after assisting at Kansas for a number of years.
Dooley had the ECU job originally back when he was an up-and-comer in the 90s. Got the job at age 29. Didn't really do much with it, and the fact he's the best they can do tells you all you need to know about where ECU basketball is. Still baffling that the AAC took them. Not like they have a storied football history either.
That's my impression. We need 2 of 3(Mag, Reiber, Palmquist) in the rotation, replacing Yeboah's role and hopefully land Cliff for Shaq Carter's role plus some, otherwise it will be Doucoure or another recruit. The other will redshirt.
Donnell hair was about 1 ft high and flat on top Biggest flat top I ever saw. LOL
Here is an interesting article on Houston hoops and Kelvin Sampson, whose team shares many of the traits of Rutgers. Interestingly, Sampson has an “older” team — 7 on his roster have had redshirt seasons. Sampson also has some nice things to say about Dooley and his ECU team. ECU hoops has not been good through the years, but for when Dooley was coach previously.
