Davidson PF Reed Bailey in portal now
- Thread starter chasingwildcat
- Start date
In that particular pic, he looks a little like Jay Bilas…so maybe you’re onto something
This guy is a Davidson blogger.
Goodness, is there anyone in the Portal that UK is not involved with.
Devin Askew
Someone posted this guy earlier today and reading his past tweets hes been pretty spot on. Also he isn't selling a discord and has called out MemanBoy and Joe Adams.
RB Reed Bailey
BS Braden Smith
YL Yaxel Lendeborg
OA Obi Agbim (Likely miss)
AF Alvaro Folgueiras
ME ???
Anybody that calls out Maggard is OK by me
I know nothing about this kid… but I’m guessing he would be something of an Andrew Carr replacement?
ME= Malique Ewin (Florida St.)
Sounds like he reads this board. LOL! Those are the main names that have been thrown around on here the last few weeks.
But, just for giggles, what would we think about this roster:
G Smith/Lewis/Perry
G Agbim/Johnson
G Oweh/Chandler/Noah
F Lendeborg/Folgeiras
F Garrison/Ewin/Moreno
Bailey comes from an athletic family. Dad played college ball. Brother did as well. Mom played college volleyball. Two sisters that played college volleyball.
Shooting, the lesser discussed passing, and the little discussed free throw rate.
I really like this player offensively. I’d love a team of guys who can shoot, pass, and get to the line. Getting to the lane is indicative of being in attack mode.

ME is Ewin from from FSU. Also that roster would never happen. That would take more NIL than we have total, let alone keeping what we still have. Bringing in 6 starter level players when you already have Oweh as starter number 7.
Also, Yaxel is most likely NBA bound. Obi is a Baylor lean. Ewin, who I love, hasn't even hit the portal yet. Neither has Smith.
Smith is still playing, so that's why he hasn't entered yet, but I'm still surprised he'd leave a place where he's been a three year starter and who grew up a little over an hour away from Lafayette. He's played on the biggest stage at Purdue too, He's also not going to get 36 minutes per game like he does now with the way Pope likes to rotate guys in and out. So what's his incentive to transfer? Only thing I can think is maybe just using the threat as leverage for a better NIL deal. That being said, if he actually does enter and wants to come here, I'm all in and will be his biggest fan.
this is the guy I hope that UK gets, big mobile, good shooter, can score inside & out
excellent replacement for Carr
I mean hard not to get excited about a CONFERENCE player of the year. That’s a big damn deal. And it feels like we’re on 4 of them 
Would assume if he doesn’t already know where he’s going that he’s got a very select list and doesn’t want to be bothered by everyone.
Give me these 4 guys from the portal
Donovan Dent - 6'2"
Treysen Eaglestaff - 6'6"
Reed Bailey - 6'10"
Magoon Gwath - 7'0"
Add these 4 experienced players to the 3 high school recruits we've signed plus maybe we win the Nate Ament sweepstakes, then add in the return from our current team 5 or 6 players, Perry, Oweh, Noah, Chandler, Garrison & maybe Kriisa. And then I know I'm dreaming but if we could somehow bring in a big time 7 footer from over seas. This roster could very well could be the pre season favorite to win the national championship.
The Ga guard is better than Eaglestaff.
Think we would perhaps just need another PF, unless we think someone from that group can hold down that backup 4 spot.
Regarding Gwath, I have a hard time seeing how we're going to utilize 3 Centers (Garrison, Moreno and Gwath for instance), but Pope & Co seem to be chasing them, which to ME, means he thinks Garrison might be leaving.
Can't say for sure of course, but I just don't see us having 3 Centers of that caliber on the same roster next year.
Bailey is a better, more athletic Andrew Carr in my opinion. Let's get this kid!
We need this kid Davidson always has good fundamental players a 10 very competitive league too
