Bio
As a First Year in 2024-25
Reilly enjoyed a very successful high school career in Connecticut at East Catholic, playing for his father Coach Luke Reilly Sr.
During his time at East Catholic, Reilly has helped lead the Eagles to two consecutive Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC) titles. Reilly has helped the program compile a 61-8 record during his time at East Catholic.
Most recently in 2022-23, East Catholic also won the Central Connecticut Conference (CCC) title for the first time since 2020 – defeating Bloomfield behind Reilly's 32-point performance.
Reilly, an exceptional three-point shooter, has shot over 40% from distance in each of his first three high school seasons. The 6-foot-2 combo guard averaged 15 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 steals per contest in 2022-23. He was honored as an All-Conference selection in both 2022 and 2023, and was chosen for the All-CIAC Division I First Team following his junior year.
He has also enjoyed success in the classroom. Reilly recently recorded a 4.2 GPA, and is a National Honor Society member.
The Reilly name is synonymous with Connecticut Basketball. Samson's grandfather, Joe, and great uncle, Gene, are among some of the most successful high school coaches in the area. Reilly's brother, Luke, is currently playing at Florida Southern. He also has an uncle, Joe, who is the Head Coach at Wesleyan, and a cousin, Joey, who is currently playing Division I basketball at Sacred Heart.
