4-Star Guard Prospect Kowacie Reeves Commits to Florida over Texas, More

Florida has landed its first player in the 2021 recruiting class with the addition of Kowacie Reeves, who committed to the school Thursday, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

The combo guard is considered a 4-star recruit and the No. 67 overall player in the 2021 class, according to 247Sports' composite rankings.

The Georgia native had scholarship offers from more than a dozen schools, including Seton Hall, Texas, Stanford and Clemson, but he chose to play college ball with the Gators.

"Really, it was just overall the situation, resources, relationships and the intangible stuff for and my family," he said of Florida, per Corey Evans of Rivals. "I can see myself going there and playing well in their system. I also get that nothing is handed to you and that I need to work and earn my stripes."

The 6'6" combo guard has a lot of length that will help him make a quick transition to the next level, especially if he adds more strength to his 170-pound frame.

Reeves already has a great outside shot with a good enough handle that will allow him to score from all areas of the court. Though he still has room for improvement in other aspects of his game, he has a high floor and a lot of upside.

He will join a Florida program coming off a disappointing 19-12 season after entering the year as a preseason Top 10 squad. There is still a lot of young talent on the roster, though, which could be enough to help head coach Mike White turn this program back into a contender.
