Reece is currently the No. 70 overall player in the 2025 On3 Industry Ranking.

Reece talks LSU

On3 caught up with four-star point guard Jalen Reece throughout his recruiting process.

“It was a cool visit,” Reece told On3’s Joe Tipton. “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.”

Scouting Jalen Reece

“What you walk away appreciating about Jalen Reece is his ability to run a team. The sturdily-built point guard has played in big games, in big settings, for much of his life. This summer, on Nike’s EYBL Circuit, Reece finished averaging 4.4 assists with a better than 2-to-1 assists-to-turnover. He moved the ball to the appropriate spots and took care of possessions. Reece will need to tighten up his shooting stroke, working with his balance and footwork. He is a solid athlete and has excellent instincts on defense with quick hands and natural anticipation. While the ceiling for Reece might not be as big as others, he is a high floor player who you know what will bring on the court.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw
