The Ohio Bruins have generated a lot of buzz at the 16 U MHC group have knocked off a couple of teams from top circuits in the spring. Reagan provides positional size at the wing forward position and rebounding thanks to his length. When Reagan is at his best he is playing tough and fighting for loose balls on the interior. Reagan also can space the floor as a spot-up shooter and shouldn’t be forced to take tough looks on a team that shares the ball and has multiple guys who can attack on the court at all times. Last season for Fairview Reagan helped Fairview win a district title for the second time in three seasons and the Warriors were the only team to be ahead of eventual state champion Lutheran East at halftime of their state title run.

The Fairview wing forward made some key plays down the stretch as the Ohio Bruins had to fight off a scrappy effort from a fellow MHC squad. Reagan made a couple nice assists through traffic, passing the ball better than I’d ever seen him before. Making the extra swing pass to his teammate to turn a good shot into a great shot can be tough for young shot makers and it seems like Reagan is letting the game slow down for him out there. Add in his physical ability with a couple contested rebounds and looking the part getting up and down the court and Reagan’s clutch efforts late in a tight win earned him a writeup for a balanced Ohio Bruins 16 U squad that small college coaches will come watching in groups next summer if they decide to stick together.

The Warriors start no seniors so their younger players have gotten thrown into the fire early in their high school careers. One of those players is Reagan who impressed as a perimeter shooter with seven first quarter points to help the Warriors develop an early lead. Reagan has good size for a wing guard at his age and shoots a clean basketball out his hands. If Reagan can improve in the weight room this off-season, he could be a player who makes a big jump from freshman to sophomore year.
