A former college basketball standout has died at the age of 23 just days before he was set to embark on a professional career, according to numerous reports.
Reggie Chaney, who finished a productive career at the University of Houston this past season -- in which he was named the 2022-23 AAC Sixth Man of the Year -- reportedly died suddenly but no cause of death has been announced.
A native of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Chaney attended high school at the Findlay Prep academy in Henderson, Nevada.
After graduation, he played for two seasons for the University of Arkansas. In 2020, the 6’8” forward transferred to Houston.
During the 2022-2023 season, he started one game for the Cougars and played in 35, according to the school...
Arkansas basketball operations director and former coach Matt Zimmerman expressed sadness at the player’s death in comments to Whole Hog Sports.
“It’s devastating news,” Zimmerman said. “It breaks your heart that he’s passed away at such a young age."
Zimmerman concluded, “It seems like yesterday he came on his official visit. I just can’t believe he’s gone already.”
Houston head coach Kelvin Sampson also commented on Chaney in comments to Joseph Duarte with The Houston Chronicle.
“Reggie is like that penny (at the convenience store), when you need him he’s there,” he said.
Sampson described Chaney as his “security blanket” in comments shared by KHOU.
ESPN analyst Jay Bilas said he was “shocked and saddened” to learn of Chaney's death.
Chaney shared photos of his graduation in a post on Instagram in May:
According to Whole Hog Sports, Chaney was set to travel to Greece next week where he had signed a contract to play professional basketball.

I would consider a “COVID boo$ter” an “accidental overdose”.
In fact, even the initial series.
Full disclosure:
I CHOSE to get vaccinated (no “boo$ter$”)....my CHOICE.
If the vaccination is even half of what it is claimed to be I really don’t give a rat’s rump whether anyone else is vaccinated or unvaccinated, masked or unmasked, coughing or calm, close or distant!
I am pro VOLUNTARY vax.
I am barely tolerant VOLUNTARY mask.
I am anti MANDATORY vax.
I am vehemently anti MANDATORY mask.
I have ZERO need to “feel safe” on the basis that everyone in a venue, a health care facility, or any other place has dutifully shown their papers.
America will remain “the land of the free” ONLY if we demonstrate that we are “the home of the brave”!
Don’t worry, the new and super-duper booster coming this Fall should finally take care of this pesky virus, with no side effects. Big Pharma knows what it’s doing.
Fauci gets another bonus.
Knock it off. It was fentanyl.
The truth is tragic enough and requires a public policy response. Your quixotic obsession with the vax doesn't address the problem.
So you never heard of multiple causation?
Fent and mRNA are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
COVID TYRANNY 2.0 is in the wings.
No job or sports is worth the shot. I spent 38 years at my job. I would have quit before he even finished the sentence.
Yup....and so is Presidential 2024

I ndefinitely:
D ICTATORSHIP!
UH fan boards are now sources of unimpeachable facts?
Mine too
While we have disagreed in the past, you have made the single statement that makes the most sense. Period.
Nothing to see here. Just move along.
“Natural Causes” I’m sure...
It’s a pandemic of coincidences.
Yes, UH fan boards are reliable. Far more reliable than Free Republic these days. That is no longer in question after this thread.
That was my second thought.
How’s ‘bout some same and effective ‘class action’??
Keep voting for the USSA communists /spit
Need to sue Pfizer for lost wages.
