Jayden Reid a 5-foot-10, point guard from the class of 2023 who attended Long Island Lutheran (N.Y.) this past season has committed to South Florida. He chose South Florida over SMU, Seattle among other schools.
Reid said “South Florida actually came in later in my recruiting process but coach Amir (Abdur- Rahim) came in strong. He’s the head coach and not a lot of kids get recruited directly by the head coach. He called me everyday, talked to my parents and even set up the visit and all the details. It showed me the belief he has in me.”
Reid was named to the National Interscholastic Basketball Conference (NIBC) Second Team and all-NIBC Defensive Team, led LuHi to a New York State Federation Class AA championship.
