Reggie Parker Profile
Reggie Parker, a 6'7 forward from Rochester Mayo High School in Rochester, Minnesota, averaged 12.3 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game last season while shooting 49% from the field.

On the AAU circuit with Minnesota Lace Up, he stood out at the NHR State Tournament and Comets Shootout.
"I chose UJ because of the people. They make you feel accepted and comfortable and serve as a family away from home," Parker said. "When I first met Coach Bruggeman and Coach Dak, I could tell immediately that their personalities were genuine and that they truly care about other people excelling in basketball and later on in life."
Coach Bruggeman added, "Reggie is an imposing physical force on both ends of the floor that impacts winning in a variety of ways. What stood out most during the recruiting process was his positive personality, desire to grow, and his performance against some of the best competition in the region during this past AAU season."
Parker plans to major in Exercise Science or Health & Fitness Administration.

Reinke was named to the 2025 Class AA All-State Tournament Team and recognized as a 2026 Stock Riser by Prep Hoops on the AAU circuit with ND Phenom.

Bruggeman commented, "Colton is a high-IQ player who is efficient on both ends of the floor and one of the best rebounding wings in the state of North Dakota.
