(2024) - SF Derrion Reid to Alabama

[Demo]

6’7” rising junior. Plays for Grovetown HS in Grovetown, GA. Unranked on 247 and Rivals. At least at 1 point was playing AAU for Team Dickerson, the same program William Jobe plays for, but not sure if that’s still so. Has absolutely exploded all over my Georgia high school feeds for about the last month.

I think Team Dickerson was Noah Clowney’s AAU team also.

Duly corrected.

Looks like he’s playing EYBL with the The Skill Factory, which is Arrinten Page’s team, though I don’t know whether he’s playing U16 or playing up.

Defending 6A state champion Grovetown HS #1 in the pre-season poll.

In a match-up against McEachern (Ace Bailey), Grovetown lost 88-80.  Reid had 20p in a losing effort.

Commentary from the McEachern - Grovetown game from Josh Tec -

Moving to Reid, he was one of the most impressive players on the floor, and he continues to shine when the lights are the brightest. Reid was aggressive on offense while not forcing the issue. Despite giving up some size to Bailey, Reid didn’t back down from the challenge and finished with 20 points. He may have had more if he wasn’t battling late-game cramps. 

Reid’s passing has been highlighted by those who have seen him frequently, and he showed off some of that vision with some slick dimes. 

I’ve seen Grovetown twice this week, and both times, Reid was tasked with guarding the opposing team’s best player, and he’s thrived in those situations. After Bailey’s early 10 points, Reid kept the star forward in check for the remainder of the game. Bailey didn’t score again until the fourth quarter when Reid was ailed with cramps. 

I don’t want to make more of one game than I should, but Reid was so good on Saturday, that I think we have him far too low at No. 57 nationally.

No. 5 Grovetown topped Lakeside 57-44 on the road behind 25 points by Derrion Reid.

When an offeree's thread never makes it to a second page probably a pretty high probability he ain't comin' to IU.  Now it's  official

Announcing this Saturday at 8:00 for anyone who's actually interested.
