Looks like one way to get a kid is thru his stomach...... (below article from Courier-Journal)

 

Eastern High School shooting guard Cameron Reed, one of the city's best shooters and wing scorers, announced Saturday morning that he has committed to the University of New Orleans while on a visit there.

 

"It was just the people, the city, the support from everybody that's going to be there," Reed said. "The coaches are great to be around. Basketball is business, and I like that."

 

The 6-foot-5 Reed, who averaged 14.8 points last season and was a second-team All-Seventh Region selection, received his first scholarship offer from New Orleans in late June. The Privateers' coaches, who considered him their top target at his position, continued to follow him last month while he played for the Louisville Magic club.

 

He also had an offer from Austin Peay and recruiting interest from Wright State.

 

Reed was able to play pick-up games during his visit, and the folks in the program were impressed.

 

"They said you don't play selfishly and you take smart shots," Reed said.

 

Another positive aspect of picking New Orleans? The food in the Big Easy.

 

He ate oysters, crawfish, catfish and a couple po' boys during his expense-paid visit. Even the food in the campus cafeteria was excellent.

 

"It was amazing, some of the best food I've ever had," he said

Good stuff. How is Eastern going to be this year. I figure Henley will have the ready to make a sweet 16 run but they are in such a tough area to get out of. Are they in 6 or 7 ? Both tough but with Trinity and Ballard it is brutal.

Eastern is in the 7th Region, which will again this year be controlled by Trinity and Ballard. In fact, Eastern is in the same district as Ballard. Eastern will be one of the better teams in the 7th Region, but the margin between Trinity and Ballard v. everyone else will be substantial.

I was thinking they were in the 7th but wasn't positive. Trinity is loaded this year and Ballard is always good for sure even though losing the one player may hurt them. Tough to come out of that region for sure. Thanks for the info.

With Trey Moses and Cameroon Reed Eastern may have jumped ahead of Ballard who has lost Malik Dow and Brandon Berry.

Aren't Dow and Berry seniors? What happened to them?

I read on here I think it was that Dow transferred to Mercer County. Not sure about Berry.

I know when Henley took the job he was very high on the underclassmen at Eastern. I didn't know if this was supposed to be one of those years he was counting on or next year and down the road.

Dow transferred to Mercer. Dow will be a junior.

 

I've heard that Berry transferred to Taylor County. I believe Berry is a senior.

Wow I did not hear that.

Dow transferred to Mercer. Dow will be a junior.

 

I've heard that Berry transferred to Taylor County. I believe Berry is a senior.

 

Yeah that was a brutal stretch for the Bruins. Beginning to look like the Seventh will be a little uneventful this year.

 

Good luck to Reed going forward in high school and at the next level.
