Reece ended the cycle as the No. 12 point guard in the coutry and the No. 75 player in the class on the On3 Industry Rankings and getting him further solidified the point guard position for the future.

“Jalen Reece is a true floor general with excellent court vision and elite passing ability,” said Coach McMahon. “Creative and smart, he makes plays for his teammates while also being a proven scorer. Jalen will bring consistent 3-point shooting to Baton Rouge, and he will flourish in our up-tempo ball screen attack. I love his competitiveness, toughness, and intelligence on both ends of the court. He has winning DNA that translates on the national stage.”

Reece has proven to be a prolific ball handler and distributor, averaging eight assists this past year at Oak Ridge. In EYBL play he averaged 11.3 points and 4.4 assists a contest and led the Peach Jam event this past summer in steals.

LSU’s class ended the cycle as one of the few to land three top 100 players with Reece joining Mazi Mosley and Matthew Gilhool in the class.

“It was a great opening day of the signing period for the LSU Tigers,” said Coach McMahon. “We are thrilled to welcome Matt, Mazi and Jalen to Baton Rouge. I’m so excited about the opportunity to coach this talented class of winners and impact players.”

Jalen Reece scouting report

On3’s Jamie Shaw: “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.”
