Dean Reiber for Heisman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Thread starter RUfromSoCal?
- Start date
He’s making a believer out of me. I had written him off after about 2 games last year. He’s starting to come on and what a boost that would be this year and more importantly, beyond.
He has developed. He will still have some duds but he’ll have games like this too.
Great post. Reiber needs the recognition as well. He’s become a very reliable backup for cliff. One we thought we didn’t even have in the beginning of the season. Also trust in pike for letting him become that player.
It's called confidence. Dean seems to have found some.
Pike also gave us a little taste of Dean and Cliff together. Might see more of that against OSU.
Some of us actually told the Reiber doubters he would come on and he has Good game Dean.
You’re an idiot.
Dean’s on the brink of being our 3 at this rate.
Also wrote him off earlier this year. Good reminder that it can take bigs (what feels like) a loooong time to get up to speed. Love his game now.
He looked very smooth with his movements and comfortable out there again today. If he can shoot from outside like he did today then he will be a significant offensive performer for us.
His improved game seems to have come out of nowhere. He can really help this team win.

Earlier in the season he would get overwhelmed/ dominated by teams with quicker/ stronger / bigger bigs
didn’t happen today
MSU had lots of very big and quick bigs. Not once was Dean dominated or blown by. And he was confident on offense!
He had that one bad pass when he got caught down low - next year he gathers himself and goes up with it

I was wondering whether Reiber and Cliff would play together. Was good to see. We may need to see it vs Ohio State given their size and flexibility.
Where's that weenie Justin Beiber fan poster, who kept calling Dean "Reib's".
It’s called development, which was difficult last year with Covid and a very short OOC schedule.
You can tell Dean has really worked hard on his game over the last 1.5 years, with his moves being so quick and decisive.
Confidence is the biggest thing with Dean. He is drowning in confidence which is great. You see the confidence in his face and his game. So rewarding and refreshing to see! His athleticism is also off the charts!
it’s funny. He still looks awkward in his movements. But he is quick - gets blocks . Has good hands. Nice touch on passes and shots.
he reminds of that guy in the gym who runs kinda funny and is kinda awkward but once the game starts he’s kicking everyone’s ass
you were not alone. Far from it.
I don’t think I ever typed that on here 🤔 but I absolutely thought it . And not so long ago
he has proven MANY people wrong and quickly
Best combined title for a thread and first post of the day lol...love celebrating out of my mind!!!!!
I'm just gonna say... don't write players off after... 2 games.
Right,......you and others were calling him a recruiting bust not long ago.. A mid major player, a Pikiell failure.
Loved the Grim Reiber a student had on his phone
The Grim Reiber is good! Play some ominous sound clip when he enters the game
Three pointer was a dagger. Reiber has improved tremendously. He should be the stretch 4 that we have been looking for.
We can only hope so.It would make a great story about a gangly , floppy haired white kid who along with much a maligned New Jersey kid lead their team to a NCAA ( unexpected ) birth.Hey we can dream of the possibility even though slim to none.
ok my turn.... I was Wrong; said he would not contribute this year; I was wrong. Said they look like 4 on 5 when he's playing; I was wrong; Said he needs to stay in weight room (very possible he is). Hope he continues to make me very wrong. P.S. please continue to work with Jaden, and get him in the rotation, cause he really does look like he can shoot the ball.
I think one of the factors that made most people not see the clear talent and potential of Dean and Caleb as well was the fact that they both started their careers playing quite timid and unsure of themselves.
You need to look for traits and understanding of the game not results for freshman early on.
Eugene was another example... can't dribble etc bla bla when he was absolutely oozing with potential. It was obvious unless you were looking only at results. He would have a near great play and lose it but it was close. The skill was there
