Happy Wednesday Nova Nation! It’s a busy day for yours truly, so we have just enough time to point out how two Villanova Basketball alums are thriving in media careers. Former player Darryl Reynolds has found success with his “Stay Tuned” YouTube show, as well as multiple other media hosting and commenting appearances. And the man who taught him how to do all of that, former basketball manager turned NBC News host Keith Jones, continues to pass on his personal and professional insight to college students. Nothing better than seeing two Nova Basketball alums that have had success both on the court and off!
