Reece talks programs involved

In a previous interview with On3, Jalen Reece broke down a few of the visits he’s been on and his thoughts on the programs.

Cincinnati: “It was a great visit. It’s always good to be home — I have family there. I’m close with Jizzle James so he told me a lot about the place. Just knowing that’s a place I could be, going back home, it would be cool. I was born in Orlando but I’ve spent a lot of time in Cincinnati. My family is from there.

“(The relationship with the coaching staff) is good. They call me a lot, text me a lot. They’re really active. So knowing that they want me, that’s good to know.”

LSU: “It was a cool visit. Just knowing that players like Antonio Blakeney and Ben Simmons went there, those are people I look up to. Knowing that its my turn to go and put the jersey on and just having the ability to go over there and play. (Antonio Blakeney) means a lot to me personally. That’s like my big brother. I remember last year he told me to always be the last one out of the gym. He’s given me a lot of tricks and tips and I work out with him in the summer. I love our relationship.

Ohio State: “The Ohio State visit was good. It’s basically home too. It’s like an hour away from Cincinnati. (Ohio State) is my dream school. Just knowing that I could go to my dream school, I’ve always watched them and was a fan of D’Angelo Russell. Bruce Thornton, who is there now, I have a relationship with him as well. It’s good to know that I could go over there and play.”
