SJSU offer Reyes

Alex Kline/The Recruit Scoop tweeted: "San Jose State has offered 2014 North Broward (FL) forward Sammis Reyes."

A member of the Chilean National Basketball U17 Team, Reyes is 6-foot-6, 240 and holding offers from Tulane, Fordham, Citadel and Buffalo according to 247 Sports. Another site also included Miami, BYU and Hawaii.

A quote: "Sammis Reyes 6'6" (North Broward Prep, Florida) is a thick bodied athletically gifted forward. Looks like a football player running on the court with massive shoulders. Has a ready body. Does a good job of using his lower half to get post position as well as position for rebounds. Biggest strength to Reyes' game is that he stays very low which helps him defend smaller players as well. Keeps the ball high on rebounds and does a good job defending the weak side as well. Still a bit raw on offense but he is so athletically gifted it's hard not to wonder how far he could take his game. Didn't really get many touches in the post but did a nice job of getting position just about every time."

Kline himself wrote on December 23 of last year:
...Reyes appears to be a strong finisher around the rim with good post moves. He is bouncy around the basket on both the offensive and defensive end. He also looks to have a high-IQ based on his passing ability and ability to find open teammates. His handle is pretty solid for a combo forward, but schools willing to take a look at him at on all levels could be getting a very talented player with plenty of potential. Multiple scouts and college coaches who have seen him before have verified that Reyes is potentially a mid-major plus to high-major player.

As his shot and handle are still being worked on, Reyes has been trying to improve in those areas. His footwork, strength and athleticism are probably the three best parts of his game, as well as his passing and defensive abilities based on his jumping and timing ability...
