Quotes on Edward Scott
"If I were starting a team in this league I would pick Edward Scott as my point guard. He has what it takes to run an offense in this league and is a terrific leader. Against Cincinnati this year he made Bob Huggins's team back down. You rarely see that done against Cincinnati."
"Edward Scott is a first-team All-ACC player. When you look at what he has done in February, he has really had an impact on Clemson's recent victories over North Carolina, Virginia and Florida State. He has put up some great numbers against quality competition."
"We wanted to take Clemson out of their offense by making Scott take tough shots. We accomplished that, but he still scored 20 points and Clemson won the game,"
"He is one of the best guards we will play. We understand how valuable he is to their team. He is the perfect example of a college basketball player. He came in and graduated to a far higher level each year. I really respect him."
"He is one of my favorite players in the the ACC. He's a no nonsense, blue-collar kind of guy. It took a five-man commitment to contain him,"
"This year, I would definitely say he's among the top 10 point guards in the nation. It depends on what a team needs in the NBA, but he will get a shot at the next level."
Coach Larry Shyatt on Edward Scott
“Edward’s career began on a disappointing note due to a couple of injuries.
Rather than fold his tent with a difficult start in the classroom as well,
he has improved in every phase of the game and has improved as a Clemson
student athlete.
“He is old school, as some of us would say. He is unselfish and
tries to make has teammates better on every possession. He takes
a great deal of pride in rebounding and in making assists, but he also
can be a scorer, especially when we need it.
