Princeton Day School Shooting Guard Davon Reed signed with Miami on November 15th, something that he was glad to finally do.
“It feels good to finally be signed to a school. It was a long process and it feels great to have it all over with.”
The versatile wingman discussed how his season is going thus far.
“It’s going pretty well, we’re 9-3 right now. We have a big game tomorrow and I’m looking to close in on 2,000 points pretty soon. I just became the all-time leading scorer at my school.”
With the 'Canes sitting at 12-3 (3-0) atop the ACC standings, Reed expected the team to have this type of success.
“I’m not surprised at all. Everybody asks me before every game if I’m nervous, but I’m confident in my team and I know they can go out every night and win, and they’re doing it.”
What does Reed see as the key to the team's success?
“Everybody is playing their role and not playing outside of themselves. They're coming together and playing collectively to get wins.”
His expectations are high for the rest of the season.
“I definitely think they’ll finish in the top four of the ACC and hopefully competing for a conference championship and be right in the NCAA tournament.”
Miami has an extremely veteran squad with sophomore PG Shane Larkin being the only non-senior in the starting lineup. Reed knows he has an opportunity to contribute early on.
“I’m looking to come in and do whatever I can do to contribute, whether that be as a scorer or playmaker.”
Reed has developed a good relationship with two current Hurricanes.
“I talk to Julian (Gamble) and Shane (Larkin) the most. I just wish them good luck before every game and they ask me how the season is going and stuff like that. We really hit it off when I came to visit.”
Miami's basketball program isn't known as a powerhouse, but Reed hopes to help change that perception. He has a message for uncommitted prospects around the country.
“You just have to follow your heart and not get caught up in the name. Go somewhere that will give you the best opportunity to succeed both on-and-off the court. The biggest thing for me was finding that coach that really cares about me and wants to make you a better player.”
The 'Canes have another signee in combo guard DeAndre Burnett, who Reed will get to see up-close in the next week.
“I talk to him from time-to-time on Twitter. We actually play against them at the Big Apple Classic in New York this upcoming Monday so I’m looking forward to seeing him play because I’ve heard good things about him as well.”
