Reyes rejoins UH basketball team
By Brian McInnis
A day before the 2014-15 season opener, freshman forward Sammis Reyes has rejoined the Hawaii men's basketball team.
Reyes, a 6-foot-6 true freshman from Chile, practiced with the Rainbow Warriors in the Stan Sheriff Center Thursday. He'd previously decided to leave the team and pursue transfer opportunities in the wake of Gib Arnold's firing on Oct. 28.
Reyes had an apparent change of heart and could provide an immediate boost to a frontcourt rotation lacking depth. Acting coach Benjy Taylor was especially hurting for big bodies since Reyes and all-conference forward Isaac Fotu left the team. Fotu latched on with a professional team in Spain this week.
UH opens the season against Arkansas-Pine Bluff at 7:30 p.m. on Friday in the Outrigger Resorts Rainbow Classic.

Man, we were just dying for something positive. The return of Reyes serves this purpose. Glad to have him back.

Re: Reyes rejoins UH basketball team
the offense doesn't seem that complicated at times.......they swing the ball between the top and wings with a high post at the FT line and a low post a few feet off the block.......i think he's going to play tonight, the other teams main player is in the low post, so they are gonna need some bodies to bang with em......im ready to watch him destroy opposing players on the blockxer 21 wrote:he hasnt practiced in the two weeks since benjy took over, and Benjy is running new sets. of course he ahsnt played, he doenst know anything yet.Mr.EDGE808 wrote:He still hasn't played yet......

Re: Reyes rejoins UH basketball team
Then, as UH (2-1) practiced Tuesday afternoon in preparation for Wednesday's contest against Division II sister school Hawaii Hilo (1-1), freshman forward Sammis Reyes injured a hand and left the Stan Sheriff Center mid-practice to get treatment. Head coach Benjy Taylor said "I think he broke (it)" and that the player went to a hospital in the evening.
Re: Reyes rejoins UH basketball team
Is there any confirmation to this this morning? <sigh>
