Georgia Tech Basketball Transfer Class Enters Top Ten After Kowacie Reeves Commitment

Reeves is going to be an instant impact transfer for the Yellow Jackets

After the recent commitment of Florida Gators transfer Kowacie Reeves, Georgia Tech Basketball has jumped up into the top ten of the transfer class rankings on 247Sports. 

Tech was not in the top 25 before the commitment of Reeves, but they now sit at ninth. Reeves is rated as a four-star transfer and he joins NC State transfer Ebenezer Dowuona in the Yellow Jackets class. 

GT's class has a 14.94 team score and is not far behind Penn State and Cal, who are tied for 7th with a team score of 15.71. 

West Virginia is at the top of the transfer classes and they are followed by Michigan, LSU, South Carolina, Syracuse, and TCU. Tech has the second-best transfer class in the ACC, trailing only Syracuse.

Tech has had a number of players enter the portal as well. Rodney Howard, Jordan Meka, Cyril Martynov, and Freds Pauls Bagatskis are going to be looking for new places to play. 

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.

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."

Dowuona is going to provide depth on the frontcourt and could challenge for a big role on this team. He is a good defender and I would expect that Tech will look to add another big man to the rotation.
