Just getting ready to post that 18. He's a helluva shooter.

Princeton Day School, A K-12 institution that is not a member of the NJSIAA and plays in relative anonymity among the powers that be in the Garden State, is probably not the place you would first go to find a top 100 shooting guard.

No, it’s not the first program that comes to mind when thinking of a star shooting guard, but that’s exactly where Davon Reed plays and that’s where coaches are flocking to.

Despite a 56-49 loss to PSAL Queens ‘AA’ Bayside at the Big Apple Basketball Classic on Monday afternoon, Reed showed off all the reasons why he is coveted by high-majors, as well as mid-majors.
In finishing with a game-high 25 points, 22 rebounds and six blocks, Reed showed off good length for his size, range out to and beyond the 3-point line, an ability to finish in traffic and a willingness to do some dirty work. In the first half alone, Reed scored 13 points, registered 12 of Princeton Day’s 19 rebounds and single-handedly kept his team in the contest throughout.

Reed’s suitors are numerous, including Big East interest with an offer from Rutgers. There is also heavy interest for Reed’s services out of the Atlantic-10 with Xavier, LaSalle, Temple and Richmond having offered. Miami and Cincinnati also offered him Monday, Alex Kline reported. Only a junior, a decision from Reed, let alone a narrowed-down list is not imminent at this point.

Despite no list, Reed indicated that Wake Forest, Harvard, Xavier and Virginia Tech are showing the most interest right now. Reed’s head coach, Paris McLean, was quick to add the Scarlet Knights and St. Joseph’s to those in the mix, in addition to Seton Hall, which has been in contact, but has not seen Reed play this winter according to McLean.

Still, McLean said Aquille Carr’s verbal will help Seton Hall’s cause with Reed and others.

“Right now, I’m just taking everything in stride and I’m probably going to look to make an early decision in the fall,” Reed said. “The recruiting process is definitely a blessing, but sometimes, you just want to be a regular teenager. It definitely takes up some of your time, but it’ll be worth it in the end.”

Reed is the prototype for what a SG needs to do in Mick's offense. Has to have the athletic ability to play above the rim but has to be able to knock down the 3 as well.

Davon Reed Looking to Cut List
BY ADAM ZAGORIA ON MAY 08, 2012, 11:43AM

PENNINGTON, N.J. — Davon Reed, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard from Princeton (N.J.) Day School, is looking to cut his list sometime this summer.

At the Mary Kline Classic last weekend, Reed told SNY.tv that his current list includes Wake Forest, UConn, Seton Hall, Georgetown, Xavier, Miami and Harvard, plus “a lot of other schools.”

Within about a month or so, the Rivals No. 13 shooting guard in the Class of 2013 plans to trim his list so it’s in the “five to seven range.”

UConn, Miami, Xavier and Harvard have been paying particular attention to the athletic wing of late, and Reed is still considering the Huskies despite their recent issues.

“They’re going through the problems with the NCAA right now and the question is whether [head coach Jim] Calhoun is going to be there for a while but I still like them as a school,” Reed said. “Everybody goes through trouble and stuff.”

Reed hopes to study sports medicine in college.

“I’m looking for both, a balance educationally and basketball-wise,” he said.
