Jarred Reuter, PF

 Sounds like a good prospect with upside if he grows a couple of inches.
 
This young man has us down as "considering" does anyone know anything about him. Seems like the type of body and size we may need:

Strengths:
Reuter's game is similar to that of a poor man's Tyler Hansbrough in that he is a power player inside with a terrific motor. He plalys with reckless abandon inside the paint, bullying physically weaker and less aggressive players. Even at his young age opposing players already bounce off his strong frame as he carves out space to score inside, rebound, and defend the post. He has a soft touch inside the lane, signs of a developing jump hook with his back the basket, and enough skill to step out and shoot.

Weaknesses:
Reuter missed his entire freshman season with an injury and needs to get back into basketball shape since making his return. As he continues to add muscle to his frame he needs to ensure that he doesn't get stronger at the expense of his conditioning or mobility. He projects as more of a power player than a high level athlete against the highest levels of competition and needs to continue to develop his overall ball skills both inside and out.

Bottom Line:
He's a wide body who knows how to make his frame work for him. People bounce off him inside the lane and he sets the tone physically on both ends of the floor. His hands are super soft, allowing him to make tough catches in traffic, and he excels at creating space. He already has a little jump hook over his left shoulder and is equally capable of facing up to bounce once or twice.
 
There is 2015 thread on him. Another flip flopper can't make up his mind on class.
