TOPEKA, Kan. — Washburn head basketball coach Bob Chipman has announced Topeka native and Division I transfer Jeff Reid has signed a scholarship agreement with the Ichabods to play this fall. He joins Alex North (Topeka, Kan./Topeka West), Andre Quarles (Chicago, Ill/South Suburban), Brandon Scaife (Blue Springs, Mo./State Fair) and Zack Riggins (Leavenworth, Kan./NorthFlorida) who have already inked with the Ichabods.

You can’t talk enough about having a player like him in your program who can impact the team and the players around him.
