Its not "out of nowhere". Colbert committed like 2 years ago. Will is a really good talent evaluator. He had a really good big kid at Chattanooga for 2 years and another at VCU, who has been in the NFL for a few years (VCU does not play football). So when Will was an assistant at VCU (I live in Richmond and go to most of the games), there was a male assistant with the womens program. I broadcast their games..Mens & womens hoops shared an office suite. So Will became friends with Curt, the womens assistant. Lo and behold guess who Reid's HS coach was here for 3 years before he left for IMG - same guy - Curt. Will has been following Reid's career for like 6 years - when he was HC at VCU & the last 4 at LSU. Reid is the best player to come out of Richmond in 30+ years. Having been the HC at VCU and being friends with Curt it was only natural that Will recruited Efton. So while the media had not picked up on it i knew that Will had been recruiting Reid for years.

When I say that, I’m not insinuating tPear isn’t detail oriented and works hard.
What I’m saying is that college basketball recruiting news is incredibly difficult to come by and typically you hear about efton Reid three weeks before he’s committing to lsu and no other time

It's so easy for people to just say "Wade cheats" but in reality, he works hard, he's persistent and he follows a process. It's the same sort of process I've used over the last 15 years to build a legal practice. People joke with me because they say "you always get calls from new clients out of no where" because the call comes when I'm having lunch or home sick, etc. However, it was the 10 years of developing relationships that brought in that work. We could see it in Wade at his first press conferences - that there were similarities in what he said and did to Saban.
