6’2 combo guard, Erik Reynolds, will be in Fairfax Friday night for Mason Madness. Most of you know how important this is. Typically, a lot of these Midnight Madness events fall on the same night or around the same days and if he’s choosing Mason and coming on his official visit, that’s pretty massive.
Hop over to his 247 sports page and get giddy real quick. It is a bit of a head-scratcher, a kid that borders the top 100 nationally, one of the best combo guards in the country, 5th best player in Maryland but his best offers are from A10 teams. This screams DP and a couple of other A10 coaches found a little gem. Expect him to receive better offers than he has currently, we’ve already heard rumblings of Syracuse sniffing around. One thing is for sure, the Giant Killer staff needs to get out there and see this kid play. Luckily he plays for Bullis School in Potomac Maryland so there will be plenty of opportunities.
He has offers from St. Joes, ODU, La Salle, East Carolina, Mt. St. Mary’s and George Mason. The hype will only build and here’s some evidence why –

I caught up with our guy, Adam Ayalew of Prephoops.com, and he had this to say about Erik, “He’s a crafty guard with a long and slender frame that will fill out over time. Has a knack for scoring from anywhere on the court. Gets downhill aggressively and has nice touch. Becoming a really good perimeter shooter and has always been very good defensively. He’s got about 10 D1 offers. Nothing higher than A10 yet.”
You should be excited about this kid, follow him on twitter and tell this man how much we’d love to have him in the Fax!
