quote:

Reese committed to the LSU in early October, and at the time said he was excited and relieved to find a home with the Tigers.

But in a twist, Reese apparently reversed field without telling Johnson.

The 6-foot-6, 200-pound sophomore at Gulf Coast (Fla.) Community College went to Oklahoma State for a visit last weekend and did not let Johnson know about the trip. When Johnson found out, he apparently rescinded Reese’s scholarship offer.


Thoughts?

My thoughts are that Butch Pierre is a dirty dude and Trent Johnson has a ton a class and is putting this program 1st.

Coach TJ is doing the right thing. There's a way to do things and a way NOT to do things. You can see what our coach thinks about this situation.

What it ultimately says is that no player will ever be bigger than the team under Johnson's watch. That takes a big man to do that in college athletics today and it's great that he is setting that precedent now at the very beginning.

What's the story on the 4* PF on scout that has us listed as the only school he has high interest in? Could this be clearing room for him?

nothing really, for his size and projected ability he only has two offer, K state and Miss State, that should tell you something in tems of grades, behavior or actual ability

Although this player could've helped I would rather go after a four year player that might develop and help your program.
JC players either help right away or its a wasted schollie

THE DARROW STEAMROLLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess you are the same guys that were upset when Miles lured RP from Texas even though he was committed.

im not pissed at reese but TJ most likely laid out his expectations that go with the offer and reese obviously didnt meet them

i dont like it much either, but like i said he just burst onto the scene with a big camp showing ala CM and we landed him, but he apparently wasnt done with recruiting. TJ probably told him if you commit, no visits, no nothing, you're done with recruiting and he apparently didnt listen

I have a close friend on the inside of the PCCC team who says that Reese is not what most people think he is. When we got him, I wondered if we might not be lucky enough to lose him - it may be a sign that Johnson is a lucky guy.
