A three-time all-region selection, Friel led RHS to a spot in the state quarterfinals, was his school’s MVP and was MVP of Jordan High’s holiday classic tournament as a senior. He was also an all-state honorable mention honoree as a sophomore and a second-team selection his junior season. Also attended Hunter High School. An honor roll student.

Coach Reid on Scott: “Scott has good size, he can play both point guard and on the wing, but he’s a pass-first, shoot-second type of point guard, which is someone we’ve been looking for in our system. He has great court vision, he’s unselfish and he’s a great passer. He’s got a big responsibility to come in as a true freshman and run our basketball team; he’s got to be a coach on the floor and that’s a lot to ask of a young man, but we think he is very capable of that task, once he learns the system and gets a feel for competition at this level.”
