A candid AJ Reeves speaks about all aspects of his basketball journey and PC career with The Friar Podcast
Now this was a fun one. Billy Ricci and I spoke with AJ Reeves for about 70 minutes in the latest episode of The Friar Podcast, as Reeves went into depth about so many aspects of his basketball career to date.
Among the topics covered:
What it meant to him to win the first regular season Big East championship in Providence after persevering through some injuries and difficult moments
How differently he approached being away from the team this season while injured, as opposed to when he was younger
Pondering if a transfer would be best for his future after his junior year
The team’s mindset as they were undersold over the past year
Detailing an amazing greeting from the Friar faithful leaving the hotel in Chicago prior to the Kansas game (“It felt like nothing I’ve ever experienced before”)
The seamless incorporation of Al Durham and Justin Minaya and how the Purdue scrimmage provided an early confidence boost (“We’ve got something here. We really have something here”)
His recruitment to Providence
His entire high school, family, and people from Boston coming out to see him play at Boston College (and hitting some big shots in that game)
The season being cancelled due to the pandemic when he was a sophomore (the struggles that team went through early in the year, and how they turned the season around)
What makes Ed Cooley unique
A game of word association on former teammates, coaches, and opponents
