Antonio Stephen "Scoop" Jardine (born August 9, 1988) is an American professional basketball player who is currently playing for the Moncton Miracles, of the NBL Canada. He played college basketball for the Syracuse Orange from 2007–08 to 2011–12.
Jardine was raised by his single mother Antoinette Richardson, along with his siblings Shantale and Shauniqua in Southwest and South Philadelphia. At Neumann-Goretti High School, Scoop Jardine was the teammate of former SU player Rick Jackson.
Jardine led his team to the Philadelphia Catholic League championship and a No. 24 ranking in the final 2006 USA Today poll. He was rated 66th by Scout.com, was 15th-ranked shooting guard and 58th overall according to Rivals.com, and was the 68th-ranked player in the Bob Gibbons All Star Report.
Jardine played on Team USA at the semi-annual (Under 18) Albert Schweitzer Tournament in Mannheim, Germany in 2006. He helped the squad with 13.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, and a team-leading 3.2 assists. In the seventh-place game against host Germany, Jardine scored 23 points to go along with five rebounds and five steals, as the U.S. team won, 106–82.
Following a season-ending injury to starting guard Eric Devendorf on December 15, 2007, Jardine was promoted to the starting lineup on December 18, 2007 against Colgate. He would start nine games—including a career high 18 points against Northeastern on December 30, 2007—before being removed from the lineup after he was suspended for the January 27, 2008 game against Providence.
Jardine was suspended after it was alleged that he knew that a stolen student identification card was being used to order more than $100 worth of food. Jardine did not eat any of the food but helped carry it in when it was delivered to his apartment on Jan. 13 2008, then tried to cover up his involvement. Jardine's cousin Robert Washington was charged in the case. Jardine returned to the lineup on February 2, 2008, against Villanova, but lost his starting spot to Kristof Ongenaet.
