Former Xavier Musketeers forward Jalen Reynolds is returning to Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel, and told Joshua Halickman in a sportsrabbi.com interview that he's looking forward to playing against former XU teammate Kaiser Gates, who signed with Hapoel Jerusalem earlier this month.
Reynolds on Gates, from Halickman's interview with Reynolds:
That’s my guy. Everybody has their own paths but when we get together its like we never left. He is the definition of hard work. He is going to shock the world. He is such a good player and he was never given his opportunity but you got to start from the bottom and work your way up. Nothing in this world is easy and they’re damn sure not going to give it to you for free. That kid can play, he’s strong, athletic, can shoot and run the floor. He’s smart and he’s a good player, I am looking forward to playing against him.
Reynolds has played in Italy, Spain, Russia, China and Germany. This is his second stint with Maccabi Tel Aviv. He played for Bayern Munich last year.
Reynolds and Gates were teammates at Xavier during the 2015-16 season.
Gates is now a teammate of former University of Cincinnati Bearcats great Sean Kilpatrick, who signed last month with Hapoel Jerusalem.
