Tonite at 8 PR plays the US Midwest team and I believe Nick King may be on the US team.

Lithuania isn't big, two 6-8 guys and a couple of 6-6s, but the country traditionally has fielded solid Euro teams. Probably get a good read on them tonight when they play the USA Midwest team with Nick King and JaJuan Johnson.

Nonetheless, a good outing by Reese. This isn't Rocky Top League. I am pleasantly surprised.

Schedule actually shows PR playing the US West team at 8pm not midwest. Thornwell plays for the West team.

Close to a another double double in that game. It sounds like he has had a good day for PR.

Sounds like he might be a decent player if he would quit jacking up 3's. Martin will get that out of him.

I don't see him playing much this year since the wing is so loaded and from what pictures I have seen of him, he could really use a college S&C program. However, I am starting to feel a little better about him. Not light the world on fire better, but at least he is holding his own against some top competition.

Zansdad according to a few people today Reese is definitely a Post player not a wing. Just relaying what I have heard today. He is definitely a good rebounder.

Ironically, he was noted by CCM and some recruiting gurus as a strong perimeter shooter.

Who are these people? And where did they say he was a post player? Kid took 13 3pt shots in 2 games today. That doesnt sound like a post player to me.

I'm not the one saying he's a wing.

Well it sounds to me like the kid is pretty versatile. Maybe Coach Martin knows what he's doing. It sounds like he can probably play the 3 or the 4 depending on where he might be needed the most. From what these people were saying and they are just fans like me he is as tall as Kenny Hall is or close. Now I saw Kenny Hall in Chattanooga at the SHOT clinic at Baylor. Kenny Hall looked 6-10 to me up close although he is listed at 6-9. I would say if Reese is that tall then he very well may grow into a 4 especially with his rebounding ability. He really knows how to position himself to rebound from what I understand. But so far he seems to be working at the 3. So it sounds like he is very versatile which is certainly what we want out of every recruit we sign.
