    "Reed is the son of former Ole Miss All-American, Justin Reed, who was named the SEC Player of the Year in 2001." Wow, if we could sway him from Ole Miss.

    I just read that his dad, Justin, died in 2017 at age 35. Way too young.

    If he comes, UF's 2022 class would move up to ≈ #13.

    Great great news, just maybe these assistants he hired are helping. Now this is someone to add to the first guy committed to have an athletic scoring/rebounding wall. Way to go coaches and go Gator men’s basketball.

    In before, "I thought MW doesn't recruit big men!"
    Seriously though...good for GC posters for congratulating the young man and coaches.

    Reneau is a 4-star, 6'-9" power forward. Rated the #24 player nationally, #3 PF.
    Aberdeen is a 3-star, 6'-4" point guard from Orlando.

    i really like his game and potential. for such a skilled offensive big man, im surprised he's ranked so low (think i saw #93).

    seems like a willing defender, could be a bit more aggressive with getting rebounds, but as another poster mentioned, very good handles for a big man. elite height and length for a power forward. not allergic to offense and seems comfortable with the ball in his hands.

    great pickup! welcome to gator nation jalen!

    Mike White killing it on the recruiting trail and transfer market. Love the size in this class. Now has 2 bigs in the class of 22 with 6-8 Reneau (26th overall in nation in 247 composite) and now 6'10 Reed (93 overall), to go along with 6'4 guard Aberdeen (193 overall).

    I think Aberdeen will be a 4-star before this is over.
