Kowacie Reeves is one of the more naturally gifted prospects in the portal. Came into college as a potential two-and-done candidate with his blend of size, athleticism and shot-making.

Gives Damon Stoudamire an offensive boost and a prospect with potential to tap into.

There was reported interest in Reeves and Tech and he had a campus visit not long ago. 

Reeves played at the University of Florida last season and is originally from the state of Georgia.

Reeves has an intriguing size and a great skillset that just needs some coaching, which might fit with Stoudamire well, who is a former NBA assistant. He is a 6'6 192 LBS guard that is a former four-star recruit and a top 50 player nationally according to 247Sports.

Tech has lost four players to the portal this offseason (Rodney Howard, Jordan Meka, Freds Pauls Bagatskis, and Cyril Martynov). 

Here is the scouting report coming out of high school on Reeves courtesy of 247 director of basketball scouting Jerry Meyer:

"Possesses nice length and athleticism for a wing shooter. Top notch shooter with a quick release. Shoots well off catch and dribble. Has niche shot turning or dribbling right where he doesn't fully square up. Much prefers to go right. Comfortable with the ball but is an upright handler. Needs to develop a more physical side as a rebounder. Comes up with steals defensively. Fits the mold of valued shooters with length and athleticism."
