Prospect Spotlight: Canin Reynolds (2020)
Canin Reynolds does nothing but produce consistently at the high school level, and often gets overlooked. He led the Capitol Hoops Summer League in scoring average (23.0), steals per game (3.4), and was second in assists per game (5.9), and is in line for another solid year at Landon. During a recent interview with Prep Hoops, Reynolds discussed several topics including recruitment.

CR: “Getting looked at by coaches doesn’t come from just scoring, but being the loudest player on the court at all times especially at my height.”

PH: Which schools are recruiting you?
CR: “Lafayette, Lehigh, Mount St. Mary’s, Penn, and Princeton.”

CR: “Short term is getting a scholarship to a high academic school, and long term is coming out of school making 6 figures.”
PH: How do you see yourself fitting in at the next level?
