What is Shannon Shorters connection to the team?

Shorter is a Houston native who played his college ball at North Texas. My guess is he may have a connection with one of our Houton alums. Maybe P.J. Couisnard, Toure Murry and/or Zach Brown.

[Aargh]

Cousinard told Bradley about Shorter, so that was the connection that brought Shorter to Wichita.

[Kung Wu]

Wasn't Randy Burns from Houston too?

[Aargh]

Burns was from Houston, and there's been a player from Houston on the roster every since he got here.

Taylor Eldridge: Meet the Aftershocks’ only non-WSU player, who nearly was a Shocker 12 years ago

Shorter, a Houston native, was recruited to the Aftershocks by coaching advisor P.J. Couisnard, a star at WSU from 2003-08 and also a Houston native, as well as Texas native and Aftershocks player J.T. Durley, another WSU star (2006-11).

This actually isn’t the first time Wichita State has recruited Shorter, who said he nearly became a Shocker back in 2007 in Marshall’s first season in town. It was Mark Turgeon who first recruited Shorter, but Shorter said he lost interest in WSU when Turgeon wanted him to go to prep school for a season.

Shorter started his career at a junior college, transferred to Texas A&M Corpus Christi, then finished at North Texas where he became a starting guard on a team that won 24 games and reached the NCAA Tournament. Shorter played his role on a winning team at North Texas, averaging 6.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game in two seasons.

Shorter has played in 10 different countries, most recently helping lead Mobis Phoebus to the Korean Basketball League championship, averaging 16.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game.

For the Aftershocks, Shorter knows he will have a role to play as a versatile guard. At 6 feet, 4 inches and 210 pounds, he has the size to bully smaller guards in the post. He’s also worked diligently on improving his outside shot and is a point guard by nature, so he has no problems creating for others. He’s also an above-average defender and rebounder.

A day late, but I don't know about a dollar short. Pumping up your post count my friend? I know that I am.

At the SLC regional, #8 seed Team Utah leads #1 Eberlein Drive, 38-36, just before halftime.

[OregonShocker]

Waiting for AfterShox, watching SelfMade in Koch... if nothing else, this is good national ESPN exposure for WSU just by hosting the tournament!

Update on this Royal?

[RoyalShock]

Eberlein Drive pulled it out.

That was the most Kansas performance they could have. Enough talent, zero fight.

[Rocky Mountain Shock]

I’m happy Self Made lost, but I hope Ellis is gonna be ok. Really good person who didn’t deserve to go down like he did.

[WuDrWu]

No doubt. He went down battling for a rebound. Never was a bad actor, class student athlete, just an awful tragedy. I think everyone knows my disdain for everything ku but that was awful and I hope Perry can recover and have a great pro career.

[Kung Wu]

Is Self still here?

[KBShocker]

He gone, didn’t stay

[WuDrWu]

WuShock16 was near the Rug and he commented that Dollar Bill was on the concourse before the buzzer stopped.

[ShockerPrez]

Pretty cool.

[Kung Wu]

Where is Marshall sitting?

[KBShocker]

Around where Lynn usually sits

[Maizerunner08]

JT with some really dumb plays. Early looks great

[Jhook89]

Score?

[Singeril]

AfterShocks win!
