Scottie Reynolds Comments after Kutztown Exhibition
Kutztown’s Mascot – Wow!! Sesame Street anyone? Or maybe a stuffed bear you would give to a baby.
Pretty good offense (110 points) but pretty bad defense (84 points). Jay was not happy. Listen to his interview to see how much work, especially on defense, Jay feels his team still needs before they will be ready to really compete.

The #2 Ranked Villanova Wildcats have stormed out to a 4-0 start with wins over Temple, Lehigh, and most recently a demolition over Northeastern. For the Wildcats
the rush attack has been the pulse of the offense with the Wildcats rushing for over 100 yards in three of their four wins and rushing for over 300 yards in two of the wins. Andy Talley’s squad rushes the ball from all positions. Junior Quarterback Chris Whitney has topped 100 yards rushing in two games which adds another element to his already effective passing game.

The following is an essay I wrote for a political science class a few weeks ago, which expands on the anti-tobacco legislation currently in Congress that I mentioned in my opionion article in today’s edition of The Villanova Times.
Tobacco-related diseases kill more than 434,000 people annually and cost the nation approximately $96 billion in health care costs (Carroll, 2009). It is estimated by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention that 21 percent of U.S. citizens smoke totaling more than 45 million people. However, cigarettes and other tobacco products are still subject to less government regulation than food, drugs, cosmetics and even dog food. Read the rest of this entry »

Yesterday, Scottie Reynolds announced that his name will be enterred into the NBA Draft, which will be taking place in about two months. Reynolds will not be hiring an agent and is keeping open the possibility of returning to Villanova next year. Even so, he appears to be very serious about the draft and will be working out more than ever in the next few months. He stated that he will be working out 3 times a day, with basketball activities, lifting weights and even a good amount of work in the pool. Read the rest of this entry »

“We have some compassion for Jay and his club because they had a great, great year, and I’ve been there. I was there a year ago. It feels like somebody just reaches in, jerks your heart out and shakes it right in front of you. There’s nothing worse than the feeling of your season being over with and knowing how close you came. But I’m hopeful that Jay and his players will think about what a great, great year it was.” – UNC Coach Roy Williams.
“They did a great job of bringing this team together and teaching us how to play Villanova basketball for 40 minutes. That’s something that we concentrated on throughout the season. We didn’t know when it was going to click, but it started clicking, and it was all because of the seniors and their strong will to will this team to do that. It would have been easy for them to be satisfied and just let us do what we wanted to do, you know. We were, what, fourth in the Big East, or third. I forgot what we were. I guess we were like, I don’t know, tops in the — in the top 25. It was easy for them to just let back and throw in the towel and not push us. But they kept pushing us. That’s why we continued to get better. And they took us on a great ride. You know, we just tried to do that day in and day out. We sorry that it’s over, but they’ll never be forgotten.” -Scottie Reynolds on the Senior Class Read the rest of this entry »

It could have been ugly. With 7:00 remaining the in the first half UNC led by 17 and it looked like they were about to run away with it. I kept on saying to myself that as long as we have strong defensive possessions and high percentage shots we could crawl back in it. Late in the first half the Wildcats began to do just that. They turned a 14 point deficit into a 9 point deficit at halftime.
In the first part of the game defense was lazy by the Wildcats. UNC was beating them on the third or fourth pass with open shooters. What hurts Nova is the 2-12 shooting from three. The key in the second half will be to come out with the intensity that brought them this far. I still believe they can do that. Read the rest of this entry »
