"Adam Ayalew (MD Prep Hoops) @AyalewAdam
Can confirm that @LandonVBBall ‘20 PG Canin Reynolds has committed to Columbia"

Canin Reynolds is a 2020 PG from Landon School in the DC area. He is listed variously between 5'6" and 5'9 150. He was all conference in the IAC which includes the prep schools in the DC area. For a VERY rough ranking idea, DMV Elite ranking (greater DC, Md and VA) has him at 41 in the class of '20 and Ike Nweke was 33 for the class of 2018. In the article below from the summer in Maryland Prep Hoops he says he was being recruited by Lafayette, Lehigh, Mt. St Mary's, Penn and Princeton.

Below are various pics videos and articles fyi.

From Inside Maryland Sports, 12/14:

#2 Canin Reynolds (5-9 Jr., PG)
Canin is a D1 recruit who averaged 23 ppg , 6 assists and 4 steals in the Capitol Hoops Summer League at DeMatha. He is excellent in screen and rolls, with ability to get in the paint. Canin played for Team Takeover this summer and is an excellent defender. Landon has a tremendous back-court in Canin Reynolds and Kino Lilly each of whom are on my 1st Team preseason All Metro Team.

Impactful lead guard. Very skilled and crafty. Can score from anywhere on the floor. Defends well. Will sacrifice his body. A team player. Extremely quck, and deceptively strong.

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.

PH: What’s the biggest thing you learned over the summer playing with Team Takeover?

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: What’s the most underrated part of your game?

CR: “My screen and roll/pop play. I feel that I can score or get someone open on any type of screen defense.”

PH: How are your grades right now?

CR: “My GPA is a 3.8.”

PH: Which schools are recruiting you?

CR: “Lafayette, Lehigh, Mount St. Mary’s, Penn, and Princeton.”

PH: What type of feedback do you receive from college coaches?

CR: “I receive a lot of feedback on my effort, and how my defense gets the whole team going.”
PH: What are you working on?

CR: “Working on my finishing around the basket since I’m not the most athletic player out there.”
PH: What are your short and long term goals?

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?

CR: “I see myself fitting in very well, because I love competition, and people looking down on me because of my height. That’s going to push me to work hard and show that I belong.”

Was Canin offered by either Penn and/or Princeton?

Best that I can tell, there was an expression of interest but no offer (at least none that is listed on verbal commits).

Are you wary because he's small?

Since he was offered so early in the process we really cannot tell what if any other offers he had. All we can go on is what he says, which is that he was being recruited by five other schools.

I'm I wary because he is small, you ask? Well, Magic Johnson was 6'6".

Another super-small guard for Columbia, for sure. But I watched all his videos and Canin does seem to be able to shoot well, but being so small does have its liabilities in Div I BB. Am I right?

Tod: I think you may have misunderstood the impetus for my question. I am wary because he is so small; if you are, then we share the same concerns. Columbia has had a number of small fast guards, from Alton Byrd in the late 1970s to Mike Smith today. Even when they run the team well, it's harder for them to get a shot off, and they may be defensive liabilities against D1 players. He's still a junior and has 21 months before he appears on campus, so maybe he'll grow a bit. It's also a good sign that several other IL schools expressed interest in him, even if they did not formally offer. For the moment, however, after Mike Smith, it looks to me as if Eddie Turner is going to be our primary point guard.

cc66,

I do think we share the same concern that Canin is too small, which, as I posted earlier, means that his smallness brings a lot of liabilities, along with his shooting prowess.

But I don't see where I "...misunderstood the impetus..." for your question.

Well, you added that Magic Johnson was 6'6", which seemed to suggest that you had to justify your concern, when what I was saying was that you didn't have to justify a concern that I share.
