not hard to do...most SEC teams in hoops not named UK suck ballz
there was a reason the Big East bludgeoned the SEC in the Big East/SEC "Challenge" every year...
You missed the entire point! The point being made was prospects in the deep south generally stay there. Look at the 4 and 5 star recruits from Mississippi and Alabama. They historically stay in state. That's why you always see a lottery pick from a bad SEC school get drafted nearly every year.

lets see....runs mouth about UC football, like UC hoops, and I'm starting to see the use of exclamation points...
How did we get on this guy. It does not look like there was any prior interest.
Definitely seems out of the blue. Maybe he decided he didn't want to play for a team that sits at the bottom of their respective conference standings every year? Good looking player too.
Gametime...any non-premium insight?
More on Reese from Scout:
Quote:...Reese said he would likely visit Georgia, but hasn’t decided about a visit to Cincinnati yet.
Reese is regarded as the No. 46 overall prospect and No. 7 power forward in the 2017 recruiting class.
Congolese import that arrived at Clarkson last season. Born in June of 1997. Entered July as a unknown, ended it unforgettably. Nsoseme a genuine shot blocker with a developing offensive game picked up offers from New Mexico, Portland, Evansville among others. Tons of speculation on where he plays high school ball next season. Henry Carr has been linked as a possible destination online.
Kid's a rim protector. The reason you've never heard of him is because he's Canadian.
Apparently, he's 6'8-6'10(Depending on who you ask.) but he has a 7 ft wingspan.
This Nsoseme kid looks to have some real upside. A lefty who is very agile and active. His game is very Bill Russellesque. Definitely a lunch bucket player in the paint.

Quote:Cincinnati adds Eliel Nsoseme to class of 2017
Despite playing for Jerry Stackhouse’s AAU program, there is not much public knowledge on Nsoseme. There has been precedent for players such as Nsoseme, who seemingly exist in very few places except for their current program, and their fortunes when it comes to NCAA eligibility have not been strong. Whether or not he can get cleared for the 2017 season remains to be seen, but the Bearcats would be smitten with the athleticism that he brings to the table.
Nsoseme becomes the second member of the 2017 Bearcats recruiting class, in addition to shooting guard Trevor Moore from Houston, Texas. Coming into the program this season is three-star center Nysier Brooks from Philadelphia, who will presumably compete alongside Nsoseme for playing time in the frontcourt upon his arrival in 2017.
A year after going 22-11 in Cronin’s first season back at the helm full-time, the Bearcats will look to avenge their first-round loss in the NCAA Tournament to the No. 9 seeded St. Joseph’s Hawks.
Tied for third-place in the AAC last year, Cincinnati will compete against Temple and SMU, the two programs that finished in front of them in the standings. The Owls are replacing the conference’s Player of the Year in DeAndre Bembry and the Mustangs will go at it this season without Hall of Fame head coach Larry Brown, who resigned this offseason and was banned from postseason play.

Nice reporting, ha, Bembry played for St. Joe's, not Temple.
