The Celtics are reportedly working out UConn F/C Tarris Reed Jr., per @hoopshype

Reed averaged 14.7 PTS, 9.0 REB, 2.0 BLK and shot a Big East-leading 60.7% FG for the championship runner-up Huskies this past year

He finished top 10 in Division I for OREB%, DREB%, and BLK%

UConn’s 2026-27 non-conference schedule:

Michigan (TD Garden, Boston)
Ohio State
Duke (Las Vegas)
At Arizona
Illinois (United Center)
Kansas
Virginia (MSG)

Dan Hurley has put together as good of a non-league slate as we’ve ever seen in college basketball.

Alex Cora didn’t trade Mookie Betts.
Alex Cora didn’t miss out on multiple big-name free agent signings.
Alex Cora didn’t lowball Alex Bregman.

Alex Cora was asked to manage a team whose “leader” is a 22 year-old kid with 9 career homers.

Sell the team.

An anonymous Red Sox alum had this to say about Alex Cora's firing

[Chris Cotillo @ChrisCotillo]

Trevor Story is not happy with the decisions and says he wants to clear the air with Craig Breslow today. Says “some of the best coaches in the world didn’t get a fair shot.”

[Dan O'Brien @BigBoyOB]

@BakeMcBri @ChrisCotillo Oh I am fully aware. That’s part of the problem.

[FitzyGFY 🍺 (brew checkmark) @FitzyGFY]

What an embarrassing day to be a Red Sox fan. Like Alex Cora and his coaches built that shitty roster. Shame on you, John Henry!

[Dan O'Brien @BigBoyOB]

@WeAreGeorgetown But yet you dedicated resources to Isaiah Abraham - who is already gone. Stewie would be an astronomically better producer than he was. Glad he’s not headed your way to DC

[Jamar Jones @JamarVip]

I just wanted to say thank you guys. I’m over here crying while I’m texting this that was the hardest decision for Jaylin to make!! it definitely was not about the money. He just wants to play basketball. I’ll ALWAYS be rooting for UCONN! Yall made my guy feel special and loved! But it comes a point in your life where you have to think about yourself and the next chapter … I have met so many incredible people in three years 😥 I wish yall the best! Big @silas_demaryjr and @Jmullins2424 hold it down HUSKY 4 life 💙

@TychaelA @BFW @arjun_wadehra @Matthewm_27 Tychael, my man, you’re right! Here’s another for Brandon. Doesn’t matter though, probably irrelevant!

@BFW @arjun_wadehra @Matthewm_27 Ok I lied just 1 more! Sorry Brandon! Probably not relevant anyways again! 😂😂😂

[Tychael Alexander @TychaelA]

@Rate_the_Refs No foul, out on Reed 😂

[Dan O'Brien @BigBoyOB]

@BFW @arjun_wadehra @Matthewm_27 Ok sorry just one more there Brandon! Probably not relevant anyways! Microcosm! 😂

[Tim Goergen @Tim_Goergen]

Dusty, I don’t wanna hear your trash about Fears next year. Cadeau gets away with a cheap shot push here.

[SportsCenter @SportsCenter]

Alex Karaban, UConn legend 👏

🐺 Two-time national champion
🐺 Three Final Four appearances
🐺 18-2 record in the NCAA tourney
🐺 Most wins in UConn men's history

[Dan O'Brien @BigBoyOB]

@BigLarryBabyArm HAHAHAHAHA at least we don’t have to have any hope in them 😂

[Little Red @hblethh__]

Hell of a game Breeding.

[Dan O'Brien @BigBoyOB]

@C2CW0 @Matthewm_27 @BFW Travel first. And you had 28-16 FTAs. Is what it is. Congrats on the win!

[Ghost Mike Toscano @mtosc98]

Thanks for everything, Alex Karaban. What a career. Wore that jersey with pride.

[Penfield @BpenfieldJ]

Shit happens. UConn is great. Love to all Husky fans.
