Did Reed verbal to Utah State after his visit?
I will be seeing him this afternoon. Its a tough call on him. He has the skill set for an elite D-1 school but his dedication to academics until recently has been an issue. The school that gets him will have a bb stud but will have to make sure he does his school work. So far so good with us this year.
According to Kyisean he had a great time at Utah State and was really impressed with the staff and facilities. He thought he would fit in well there but he has decided to keep his options for the time being.
Thanks. I’m curious as to where he’ll end up.
Do you think Kyisean Reed will make it to utah state?
I am not privy to the details on Kyisean but I know that his is still in school and working on his required academics. My best guess is that we will not know till the end of summer whether he will be in Logan. He certainly is capable of doing the academic work.
Why did he get suspended? How good do you think he will be at Utah State if he gets there? Is he a good hard working kid?
I am not in a position to discuss Kyisean’s suspension. That’s a coach/player issue. On the other hand I have known Kyisean for 3 years and he is a very nice young man who is smart. How he will do at USU(if he gets there) will depend a great deal on how he integrates into the style of play and with the team. He is so talented phyically so that he is at times a man among boys at our level.
Kyisean Reed is working very hard at the moment and I expect him to finish all his academic requirements and become one of the best players ever to play at Utah St. Personally he’s one of the nicest, respectful and gifted person I have ever been around.
So its a sure thing he will end up at utah state?
Nothing is sure. He is working hard to make it happen. Best I can say.
When will the article on Kyisean Reed be up? Is he still going to Utah State?
Checking with the author today. Hopefully it will be ready this weekend. No change on your question on whether Kye will be heading to Utah State…depends on whether he finishes his classes successfully. We all hope he does!
Does he still want to go there? Does the Utah State staff still want him?
To answer your first question; I believe that Kyisean really wants to got to USU. As far as the second question; I would think so…even though top university programs seldom face the student athlete issues that JUCO basketball programs have regularly. I think Kyisean will bring a phyical skill set to the program that if he had been there this year might have taken the USU team a step further or more in the NCAA tournament. Some times however, to get the things you need, there can be a price to pay. Time will tell whether the price is worth the outcome. Kyisean is a nice young man and very talented basketball player.
What happened to Shelton Boykin?
Talked to him at LA Valley College. He is taking classes there this year and working on a decision where to play his final JUCO year next season.
