Pike to Transfer

'14 PF/C Devin Pike has left Reading HS to attend Elder according to sources within the Elder building. Pike will not be eligible to play in the 2011-2012 school year per OHSAA transfer rules, but will eligible with two years remaining in the the 2012-2013 school year.

A 6'6 athletic big man that plays with high energy Devin is just starting to develop his basketball game, but has a very bright future in the sport. Once his offensive game catches up to the defensive abilities that he already brings to the court he could be a highly recruited prospect. Last year at Reading he played in every single varsity game for a district runner up team and averaged 7 points to go with 5 rebounds.

Pike is the younger brother of former Cincinnati Bearcat and current Carolina Panthers quarterback Tony Pike, and like his brother is a standout player. He will be expected to contribute on the gridiron as well in 2012.
