Two and a half hours.
That’s how long it takes to get from Asbury Park, New Jersey – the hometown of LSU freshman Naz Reid – to New York City, and back again to Asbury Park, round trip, via the Garden State Parkway. It’s about half the time of a flight from Baton Rouge to Newark, the nearest airport to Asbury Park.
But Reid’s not much of a traveler. He’s a self-described "homebody," and that LSU was able to land the five-star forward was primarily a product of Will Wade and his staff’s ability to make Reid feel at home away from home.
