CHARLOTTESVILLE – Virginia guard J.R. Reynolds (Roanoke, Va./Oak Hill Academy) has earned Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award second-team All-Senior All-America honors.
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement For Staying in School, the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award is presented annually to college basketball’s outstanding NCAA Division I senior student-athlete. The award identifies personal qualities that define a complete student-athlete, with criteria including classroom performance, character and community involvement as well as the individual’s performance on the court. The Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award also names an All-Senior All-America team each year based on voting results for the award’s finalists. The recipient of the award is selected by a nationwide vote of coaches, media and fans.
The 2007 recipient of the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award is Alando Tucker of Wisconsin and joining Tucker on the All-Senior All-America first team are Acie Law IV (Texas A&M), Adam Haluska (Iowa), Curtis Sumpter (Villanova) and Nick Fazekas (Nevada). The second team is comprised of Reynolds, Aaron Gray (Pittsburgh), Jared Dudley (Boston College), Anthony Tolliver (Creighton) and Jarrius Jackson (Texas Tech).
Reynolds averaged 18.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 32.2 minutes played a game for the 2006-07 season. He ranked fourth in the Atlantic Coast Conference in free throw percentage (.832, 164-197), fifth in scoring and ninth in three-point field goals made (62, 1.94 a game).
A team co-captain for the second consecutive season, Reynolds earned second-team All-ACC honors in 2007. He scored in double figures in each of the last 22 games of the season and scored a career-high 40 points in a victory over Wake Forest on Jan. 21.
Reynolds finished his Virginia career ranked third on the school’s all-time three-point field goals made list (221), ninth on the free throws made list (402), 10th on the scoring list (1,683 points) and 10th on the assists list (317 assists).
