It was understood that Reed would transfer for his sophomore season. The choice came down to Florida, Wake Forest, and Augusta State, and considering that his parents now lived in Augusta, he didn't brood over the decision for long. Head coach Josh Gregory sold him on the idea that he'd already tried the big schools, and it was time to see how he'd function in a smaller environment. Reed could see the wisdom in that, so he chose to spend the next two years at Augusta State, living at home the second year.
He probably would have crashed and burned at Wake, but damn, it would have been nice to find out. Wish the falling out with his parents had happened sooner!
Gregory laughed at the fact that despite all the troubles, you could put always Reed in a room full of adults and he'd be totally at ease, and totally charming.
One of my friends is good enough friends with Patrick that he went to Patrick & Justine's wedding. Keeping with the above comment, my friend is 43.
