  • PHILADELPHIA — Naz Reid is here at the Under Armour All-America Camp at Philadelphia University this week but won’t play because of a twisted knee he suffered last week at the Under Armour finals.

    “Twisted it in Atlanta,” the 6-foot-10 Class of 2018 big man from Sports U and Roselle (N.J.) Catholic said here Wednesday.

    Reid is coming off his first official visit to LSU.

    “It was good,” he said. “The school was bigger than I thought it was. There were a lot of interesting things. I saw the football stadium is big, the basketball court is big. The team is very family united, I like that. That’s a big thing. I feel like there’s a lot family-wise going on there.”

    He said LSU has been recruiting him for two years but ramped up their interest after Will Wade took the job this spring.

    After returning to the AAU circuit this summer with his UPlay Canada team, Andrew Nembhard’s stock continues to rise.

    Four schools are currently working the hardest for the 6-foot-4, 175-pound Class of 2019 Canadian point guard: Florida, Gonzaga, Michigan and Stanford.

    “He likes those schools because they’re good people, they’re recruiting him the right way,” UPlay Canada coach Dwayne Washington said Monday. “The reason why those are the four schools is because he’s really looking at the academic side, that mean’s a lot to that family.”

    Still, Washington said Nembhard is “wide open” to other schools like Vanderbilt and Oklahoma that are recruiting him.
