Reynolds also played for the United States in the 2007 Pan American Games.

Early life

Reynolds was born in Huntsville, Alabama to an unwed, unemployed teenaged mother who reluctantly gave him up for adoption.[1] Reynolds grew up in a loving family with his adoptive parents Rick and Pam Reynolds and siblings Eric, Kelli, Susie, Ross, and Dahlia. He has lived in Athens, Alabama; Herndon, Virginia; and Chicago, Illinois. He attended A. Scott Crossfield elementary school in Virginia and Helen Keller Jr. High in Schaumburg, Illinois

High school career

Reynolds was a four-year starter for Herndon High School in Herndon, Virginia. He was the best player in the competitive Northern Region since Grant Hill. He led the Herndon Hornets to a state finals runner-up place in 2005–06. Averaging 40 points per game, he was a three-time Virginia Player of the Year.

During his senior year, Reynolds was named a McDonald's All-American, the first player in the Northern Region to be so honored since Joey Beard (South Lakes High School, Class of 1993). He was also a third-team Parade All-American. Reynolds owns many Herndon Hornets basketball records, including most points in a year, most points during a high school career, and most points in a game with 53 against I. C. Norcom High School in 2005. Reynolds is 16th all-time in Virginia high school career scoring. He was at one point ranked the fourth best point guard in the nation. Reynolds averaged 28.4 points per game, 4.5 assists per game, and 4.0 steals per game as a senior, and 34.7 points as a junior.[2]

College career

He signed a letter of intent to play for Oklahoma but was released by the university after their coach Kelvin Sampson left. He was then recruited by Jay Wright of Villanova, playing in the Big East Conference of the NCAA.

As a Villanova Wildcat, he became the Wildcats' primary scoring threat by the end of his freshman year, scoring 40 points against the University of Connecticut on February 28, 2007.[3] Reynolds was named the 2006–07 Big East Rookie of the Year.

Reynolds ended his career as the second-leading scorer in Villanova history with 2,222 points, falling only 21 points short of breaking Kerry Kittles's all-time record. He finished his College career with 472 assists and 203 steals.

Reynolds was named to the 2010 AP All-American 1st team joining Randy Foye (2006), Kerry Kittles (1996) and Paul Arizin (1950) as the only Villanova players to become 1st team All-Americans.[9] "You go through a season not expecting to get All-American," Reynolds said. "You just go out there every day and try and do the best you can, try and play Villanova basketball. It's in the back of your head, but if you concentrate on that, that stuff will never come." Villanova Coach Jay Wright often referred to Scottie Reynolds as the "face of Villanova Basketball" during his 4 years on the team.
