Basketball Dean Reiber is in the Transfer Portal

[-RUFAN4LIFE-]

He had some good games. MSU last year comes to mind. Wish him well - no need for the snark.

If I was going to be snarky I would have said Jerry Carino must be devastated that his guy got the talk.

 

[koleszar]

We’re going after a player’s hair now. Wonderful.

It's not like we're writing the kids obituary here. It's a joke, try buying a sense of humor or better yet, just pull the stick out of your ass.

 

[MrsScrew]

The obvious question is, does he end up Down In Africa?

I definitely have a sense of humor. And I have determined your joke sucks. Good to see you’re a class act here like you are on other threads.

Yawn. Not even sure what you’re driving at here.

Stop trying to be the thread Karen. Nothing improper has been said by anyone yet you're acting like a family member died.

Dean had a couple of good moments in the program and he'll do well dropping down to a much lower conference.

 

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

Keep in mind being in the portal doesn’t mean one actual is transferring. Like declaring for the NBA draft it can be used to gauge interest.

We are not waiting around for Reiber to see who’s interested.

 

[RUKen]

Back on point. Thank you Dean. I appreciate your efforts and wishing you do great things wherever you land

Calling names and throwing hyperbole at me. Going right to the playbook. Here’s the deal: the dude announced he’s entering the portal. Wish him well and move on. Instead we get the same tired, sh$tty message board crap and unimaginative humor. Just give it a rest for one thread. Is it that difficult?

 

[RU-Hunter]

Good luck to Dean in his next stop.

Steve needs to look at the portal for a 5. It's highly probable that Cliff comes back but you never know what will happen and that leaves us with only Wolf.

We get it, you had a bad day and want everyone to feel it. Take the night off and sleep it off.

Failed attempt at humor.

Please. I’m fine. Just don’t be a douche on social media. It’s not that tough. Try it.

In my fan circle, we called him Depeche Mode, but absolutely out of affection. He arrived here with the early 70s Zeppelin Robert Plant locks, and graduated to New Wave look by freshman year.
Depeche Mode was one my favorite players during his run. We will miss you.

 

[ClassOf02]

I must live under a rock since I have no idea what the reference to Dean & Toto/Africa is about.

Good luck Dean. You’ve had some great moments here.

You are being a douche because my original comment had nothing to do with Dean and it went way over your head. Again take the night off and sleep it off. You are the only drama in this thread.

It's in reference to the Minnesota game and the bench karaoke that went on during an injury timeout.

Ahh that makes sense. That’s one of the few games this year I didn’t watch.

 

[Scarlet Jerry]

Good luck to Dean - he always seemed like a genuine good guy. I hope that he finds success on another team and has a successful future.

Ridiculous. So your post had nothing to do with the player who is being discussed in this thread? You’re right, makes total sense. I may as well take the night off now! Nice back track. 😂

 

[Bayonnebomber79]

Best of luck Dean, Thank you for your contributions to the program.

 

[RUtrumpet92]

Best wishes to Deanie Baby, you hit some big shots for us and I appreciate you being a Knight!

 

[Roy_Faulker]

A moment of silence for Threiber....he will go down as the biggest cult hero to date in RU basketball under Pike.

I thought Big Country was.

 

[Goku]

thanks for giving us your best, dean. We will be rooting for you wherever you go next

 

[NickRU714]

The poster boy for gross over exaggeration based on a comically small sample size.
It was almost embarrassing.

5-12 from 3 in 2021-2022 meant he was going to compensate for the loss of RHJs front court scoring. With his “three level scoring ability”.

Not blaming the player. Not his fault people can’t objectively evaluate the team.

No one said that. I think most fans thought he would be a better bench/role player. That’s all.

 

[Rutgers56]

Thank you for all your efforts on and off the court, Dean!

 

[-RUFAN4LIFE-]

Exactly, a vocal minority turned him into a cult hero by over exaggerating his value to the team. Apparently this RUPete guy didn’t read the Don’t Sleep on Dean thread or many other comments made about Dean starting this year.

 

[MADHAT1]

Wish him the best because he tried his best.
Hope he finds a program he gets the minuites but also makes him feel happy there and satisfied that he made the right choice.

I was done with you but since you referenced me…I was just trying to wish the guy well. Never thought he was a savior or starter. It’s sad that you couldn’t do the same in this thread.

 

[NiTeKnight]

Thank you, Dean, and Good Luck!

 

[Rufaninga]

I won't ruin the ending for you..

 

[Rufaninga]

Thanks Dean & best wishes to you!

 

[BigEastPhil]

Always liked Dean !

Wishing him the best at his next juncture !

Here’s my post in the thread from a year ago.
I was a “bitter hater” because I said 7 for 12 was a smal sample size and he wouldn’t be a Top 20 Big scorer in 23-24.

Many many posts about his great shooting ability and how dumb I was to not lose it over 12 attempts.

Best of luck to Dean. He gave us what he could. I will always root for him going forward.

Too bad that his RU highlight reel includes the Toto Africa rendition from the bench.

I’ll bet that he gets some nice mid major offers.

How do you define mid major ?

Portal Guys don’t transfer to be backups.

 

[carmenst]

Thanks Dean for all of your hard work and best of luck at your next school!

 

[aplus29]

He’ll land at UNCW or Fairfield and do well. Best of Luck Dean!

 

[Plum Street]

I remember the Penn State game last season where he came in and hit a three and caught an alley-oop dunk!
I hope he gets the opportunity to do plenty of both at his next school.

Without his contributions, we lose that game and don’t make the ncaa tournament in 2022 . We know he likes toto .
Good luck Dean at your next stop. You can be a key guy somewhere
