Michigan State: “The program is a great program overall. They have history and they develop, you know. I talk with head coach Tom Izzo a lot, and he keeps telling me to be a dominant guy. We talk about facing up and being polished and poised with the ball as well.”

Purdue: “I am liking Purdue so far. Head coach Matt Painter and I have had a few Zoom calls, he tells me how they use their bigs a lot. Watching film on them you see they feed the post a lot and they allow their bigs to step out some.”

“I am talking to Kentucky a little bit. They have not offered yet, but they will be watching me in July they said.”

“I grew up a fan of Kansas, that was my school growing up. When they offered me that was pretty exciting. As I have grown older, I have started liking a lot of these schools as well. I am still talking with the coaches at Kansas and trying to set up a time to go see them in June.

"I want to play for a place that feels like home, a place that is comfortable for me. When I get on campus there, I want to go to a place that makes me feel happy. I don’t have a time frame yet for when I want to commit or anything. I am kind of taking my time with everything so I can sit back and make the best decision for myself.”

Reed is a big-bodied post player who has great hands and soft touch. Playing at the CP3 Memorial Day Classic, he showed the ability to score with his back to the basket, play out of the mid and high posts, and play as a pick and pop or trail big. He is a good area rebounder and as he continues to tighten up his body, he will only continue to produce more. Is one who could outplay his current ranking over the next 12 months.
