He doesn't have to be the savior. He can play the Shaq Carter role his freshman year. The adjustment to Big Ten play is much harder for big men. So now he can develop without a ton of pressure.

Come in off the bench play his game, match up against opposition's bench guys, focus on solid play, but make a bigger impact when he feels he has a mismatch, which could be quite often.He doesn't have to be the savior.

My guess is Mag will redshirt, Reiber probably won’t because they don’t have another player on the roster like him. It’s not like he will have a bigger role next year, only seniors will be Geo, Young, Kiss, and DukeThey will be a good duo to have at the 5. Shaq Carter was a fine player but we are upgraded at the 5 for next year. Reiber can totally redshirt next year.
I’m just imagining geo and Mulcahy giving ally oop jams
He has no pressure next year either. Just fit in the same way that Mulcahy fit in this year
another recruiting point. In the last 3 recruiting classes pike scored on his primary target
2018 was Mathis
2019 was Mulcahy
2020 was cliff
I guess pike already scored on his 2021 guy?
It’s huge. Most guys are generally as tall as they are, maybe a couple more inches. 6’10” with a 7’5” wingspan is a yuuuge disparity.Article says Cliff has a 7 5 wingspan. That sounds like a lot to me. What is the wingspan of the average center?
Check out his highlights, he has a ton of length.Article says Cliff has a 7 5 wingspan. That sounds like a lot to me. What is the wingspan of the average center?
If Mulcahy and Cliff come in together as a 2nd unit? The highlights are going to be unreal.
First glimpse of his game(didn't chk him out till now) makes me think he and Mulcahy were born to play together.
I think Reiber will play. He might be the #2 center the next season if Cliff goes pro after 1 year
Reiber is too small to play center in big ten. He will be a power forwardI think Reiber will play. He might be the #2 center the next season if Cliff goes pro after 1 year
And Miles offensive game is not really catch and finish, he does have great hands, but he's not a big time athlete so he is not getting up in the air to catch passes, or catching a pass a little off his spot but able to explode up and finish anyway.Agree, this is going to be fun! Mulcahy was very good at getting MJ the ball in great spots this year. He must be thrilled he now has two guys like that to pass to.
In today's game an old school prototype pf could play a fair amount of center when a team wants to go small.Reiber is too small to play center in big ten. He will be a power forward
I don't know about 3 years(not that I'm against it), but I agree, he doesn't look like a one and done guy.Cliff is much too raw to leave after one year. He’s a three year player at least IMO.
He isn’t an old school PF. We could never play with him as a center against a big ten team. Maybe against Caldwell we could.In today's game an old school prototype pf could play a fair amount of center when a team wants to go small.
Is Cliff at the Kadeem Jack level and upside?
I was going to include in my post that I don't really know Reiber's game.Reiber is too small to play center in big ten. He will be a power forward
More.

Not to doubt Cliff’s potential but from what people who know NBA quality Cliff is not going pro after 1 year and maybe not until year 3..defensively he might survive but offensively he would be a liabilityI think Reiber will play. He might be the #2 center the next season if Cliff goes pro after 1 year

Will be really interesting to see what Reiber's actual measurements are when the roster is released:
MaxPreps: 6-7, 170
ESPN: 6-9, 200
VerbalCommits: 6-9, 200
Rivals: 6-9, 205
247: 6-10, 230
PrepHoops: 6-10, no weight given
That's a pretty wide range.
Ridiculous, lol.

Well, as far as sk.com is concerned, he's apparently 6-10/230, and Pike is quoted calling him 6-10.
And, fwiw, sk.com has Palmquist at 6-8/210 and Mag at 6-7/215.
Going to help myles on offense tremendously. Also should help his rebounding bc cliff is as athletic and physical as they come
Not much chance of him going pro after one year. As of right now he doesn't have Power Five offensive skills. I think he's with us for at least three years, plus, engineering is important to him and his education is most important to his family from what I hear.I think Reiber will play. He might be the #2 center the next season if Cliff goes pro after 1 year
