Recruiting Report: Tarris Reed (2022)
<p>Chaminade sophomore post <strong>Tarris Reed</strong> is a prospect that continues to see his stock rise both in the state of Missouri and nationally. The 6’8” 2022 power forward has all the tools to be a high-major post. Over the summer he worked out with former Chaminade star Tyler Cook and you can see a lot of similarities in their games. He has an advanced feel scoring on the block with his post positioning. Knows how to take advantage of what the defense is giving him. Quick footwork, seals, and has a soft touch. Hook shots and dunks out of this young big man on a regular basis. Defensively he is a shot blocking presence and a force on the boards with his strong frame.</p>
<p>Reed spoke with PrepHoops about his sophomore season.</p>
<p>“It is going pretty well. I think I have been playing well offensively and defensively. Stretching the defense and finishing well. Overall I think I am doing just fine.”</p>
<p>What does he feel the strengths are in his game?</p>
<p>“My game is more down low in the post. Defenders typically can’t guard me down low. I try to be as strong as I can down low and if they back off I can shoot it or take them off the dribble.”</p>
<p>We see a lot of similarities with Reed and former Chaminade star Tyler Cook.</p>
