Also holds an offer from Eastern Michigan. Third player currently at Reynoldsburg with an Ohio offer. Stacked squad, huh?

That's 4, so far, players signed or committed to a DI school. Nwokolo, 6-6, offered by ohio but signed with Toledo. Fisher signed with Ohio while juniors McKinney and Bowen committed to Ohio. Reynoldsburg is 8-0 and plays 3-time state champs Richmond heights tomorrow. They beat defending DI state champs st. Ignatius last month. For Bobcat fans not happy with OUr seemingly lack of athletes, just be patient for these three.

League rival newark, with its best player signed with DII Hilldale, has 2 upcoming games with reynoldsburg. Don't be surprised if newark wins 1, if not 2, of those matchups.

Central Ohio is blessed with many fine coaches. Newark's Jeff Quackenbush woould bbe near the top of anybody's list. Well over 400 wins and counting.

I might need to drive a town over to catch a game with the amount of future Bobcats on this team. Love to see it.

You won't have to wait much longer, or even drive one town over, as Reynoldsburg visits league rival Pick Central on Jan. 17. Get your ticket ahead of time.

Seems to be a lot of upside here. One more year to grow as well and possibly get to 6'7 or 6'8. Everything you read about this kid sounds promising moving forward.

It’ll be interesting to see what our roster looks like in 2 years.

A lot of athleticism and bigger wings/guards, but still no true bigs outside of Evans — Kuany is a stretch 4. I wonder if this will still be the roster strategy after this season, or if we’ll start to see more of a push gor bigs to balance it all out. Whether that’s HS or portal.

I agree and of course, in two years the makeup of this team will include transfers, etc. Would love to see a Junior Evans with junior Elliott teaming with the three Reynoldsburians and Zay Mosley along with senior AJ Brown (we can dream right), sophore Kuany and a healthy nifty guard in Burris.

A coach with the newark program informed me today that Andy Moore, the reynoldsburg head coach, and Boals are old friends. The two were in each others' wedding. Not sure of the accuracy, but no reason to doubt him.

Reynoldsburg takes game 1 v. Newark tonight with a rematch in Newark next month. Bowens looks like a really good get for Ohio. Long and athletic with a possible growth spurt getting him up to 6-8.

I didn't see #24 in the pre-game layup line and Jordan Fisher was not announced as a starter. Found out at halftime that he didn't suit up after getting a "T" in Reynoldsburg's previous game.

Lakota West is such an entertaining watch this year. I'm glad these two teams got to hook up this year.
