We spoke with St. Rita head basketball coach Roshawn Russell to discuss one of the stellar members of his freshman class. Today we examine their floor general for the next four years in Intro 2024: Jaedin Reyna!
How would you best describe his game at this stage?
Reyna is electric fast, very crafty around the basket with an array of finishes. Phenomenal on ball-defender! High IQ, great shooter with a quick release. Area for improvement is to continue to get stronger.
What is his current height and weight?
5’11” 145 lbs
Long term what is an area that you believe can be developed in his game that might not be as evident right now?
With strength I believe his range will get even deeper than it is now as well as get into the paint more often in the half court and make plays for his teammates and himself.
What are the biggest traits he will bring to your program over the next several years?
Traits Jaedin brings are: genuinely a nice person, responsible on and off the floor, understands academics comes 1st, work ethic, motor is always up, leadership by action and a great teammate.
Is there a recent Illinois high school player that he reminds you of at a young age?
Recent Illinois player that Jaedin reminds me of is Vance Cooksey from Marian Catholic and Carl Marshall from Crane HS.
What makes him so special at a young age running a team in the half court and working around ball screens?
His IQ, speed, and ability to shoot makes him special in the half court working around ball-screens. He is great at making nothing into something!
Has there been any early college recruitment with him yet?
Offers: NIU
Interests: Toledo, Loyola, Siena, Howard, Wisconsin Milwaukee and Western Illinois
