Reynolds to remain at Villanova
options
 

Villanova guard Scottie Reynolds has withdrawn his name from consideration for the NBA draft and will remain for his senior season with the Wildcats, the school announced today.

“The best decision for me is to return to Villanova for my senior year,” Reynolds said in a statement. “I’d like to thank everyone who put their time into helping me get better during these NBA workouts. I especially want to thank my teammates and coaches here for all of their support. I felt like I learned a great deal from this process. I’m blessed to be in the situation I am in. I’m happy to be back at Villanova.”

Reynolds averaged 15.2 points per game in helping lead Villanova to a school-record 30 victories last season and a trip to the Final Four. Reynolds has scored 1,620 points in three seasons at Villanova (15.3 ppg), which places him 15th on the school’s all-time list.

“Scottie took a very mature and intelligent approach to this process,” coach Jay Wright said in a statement. “He prepared himself thoroughly for each workout and absorbed everything he could from them. This was a tremendous learning experience for him and now he is focused on becoming a great senior leader in our program. He has great respect for the tradition here and I know he’ll embrace this role.”

    Great decison by Reynolds. Nova is going to be one of the top teams in college basketball next year. An excellent recruiting along with Reynolds, Fisher, and Stokes. Should be a great year.

    think that staying in school was a very good decision for him. Later on in life he will see that it was a very goood choice.

    Totally correct decision for Reynolds. He is not a First Round pick and sometimes it is not a bad thing to be a four year star and lead your team to the Tournament .... one more time. This team is going to be crazy good. Might as well have your senior leader on the floor when you cut the twine at the Final Four again!!! Can't wait .... Go Nova!
