Scottie back for more?

Josh Wheeling

There has been vast debate among fans as well as experts about whether Villanova shooting guard Scottie Reynolds will make a good NBA player. Some people view him as a first-round pick, and others believe he’ll be playing the majority of his career overseas.

But that time might not come yet.

According to a spokesman from Villanova athletic communications, they “have no announcements planned for Scottie relative to the NBA and fully expect him to be a part of the men’s basketball team in 2008-09.”

Villanova would not make Reynolds available for comment.

After a spectacular freshman season, Reynolds was good in 2007-08, but he wasn’t Superman. The First-Team All-Big 5 selection averaged 15.9 points per game and hit 38.3 percent from three, but perhaps as a result of having to take the team on his back in the early parts of the season, he shot only 41.2 percent from the field and had an assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.06.

Coming off of the NCAA Tournament run, should Reynolds go to the league? Leave your comments below.

    I know I have been away from Penn for a long time but when did Villanova join the Ivy league?

    “The First-Team All-Ivy selection averaged 15.9 points…”

    Wasn’t Scottie a Second-Team All-Big East Selection?
