More alumni updates as Scottie Reynolds is finding work overseas just like Reggie Redding. Scottie is over in The Philippines with the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters (try saying that 10 times fast - better yet, try not to laugh) as he looks to find work as the NBA lockout looks to be a lengthy one.

Not much to share on 2012 prospect Amile Jefferson, who is pretty much the only player Jay Wright is chasing in that class, but VUHoops has a update regardless.

The Walter Camp has historically been a little friendlier to defensive players in its voting, which is a nice offset to the Heisman Trophy, which only honors the quarterback or running back on the #1 team anymore.
