Star guard Kevin Reed will sit out the remainder of the 2005-06 season as a medical redshirt, announced the University of Maine men’s basketball team in early January.
Reed suffered a stress fracture in his left foot during preseason camp. The preseason All-America East selection and Player of the Year candidate had yet to appear in a game for the Black Bears this season. While the injury was initially slated to keep Reed out of action for 4-6 weeks, as time went by it became apparent that he would not be able to play this season.
As a medical redshirt, Reed will retain his final year of eligibility and return to the Black Bears for the 2006-07 campaign. Prior to this season, the three-year starter had never missed a game in his UMaine career.
Andre joins team
Maine native Brian Andre, a 6-foot-9-inch, 300-pound forward, has joined the University of Maine men’s basketball team and will be eligible to compete in the spring semester of 2007.
Andre spent the last two seasons at the University of Buffalo before deciding to transfer. He is one of the top players in Maine high school history, having enjoyed great success at Valley High School in Bingham before spending a year at Maine Central Institute, which has produced such stars as Cuttino Mobley, Sam Cassell and Caron Butler.
