Another one of the elite shooters in Ohio’s 2027 class, Reef has seen a sharp increase in his recruitment since the June contact period opened for 2027 prospects. Reef now holds offers to FAU, USC and Cleveland State.

-Ohio has an excellent 2027 group with numerous scholarship talents, I think they’ll be a favorite among college coaches next summer with Reef as one of the more notable names. Reef will also continue to improve by getting pushed by the Division I talent at Western Reserve Academy next season, headlined by five star

One of the top shooters in Ohio’s 2027 class, Reef was a key piece of TNBA -Ohio’s 15 U HGSL championship and has continued to produce at the 16 U level for that same program. Reef is a knockdown shooter who can spot-up or run off screens and I was impressed with his decision making as a secondary creator, not forcing the issue. A name to watch as college programs always need shooters and few space the floor like Reef does in this class.

Known as one of the best shooters in Ohio’s 2027 class, Reef was making it rain from long distance this weekend. A very efficient shooter when he feet are set, more often than not it’s three points for his team if Reef gets a set look from long distance. While shooting is what Reef is known for and he did that at a high level, I was also impressed by his defensive activity as he jumped a few passing lanes for steals that started the fast break. Also able to set his teammates up as a secondary creator, Reef made some simple but effective passes when he attacked off the dribble. This TNBA -Ohio 16 U group won the 15 U HGSL championship and are looking to go back-to-back this season with the same cast of characters leading the charge.

Reef was someone who filled his role well all day long. In most events, kids try to play beyond their ability and it makes them look bad. That was not the case with Reef. He stayed within himself and played the game the right way. He has a good size for his position. Showed off some quick and simple scoring moves. Type of player you want on your team.
