The size factor for guards is on the rise, so it seems.

I love big guards like Jared Jack.

[SubGod22]

It does add another demention to the game. Especially if they can play a little ;)

[SubGod22]

He wants to major in sportes medicine or psychology and he really likes Wichita State.

He isn't getting much attention from major programs, but he could just be a guy that is under a lot of people's radar. If he has the talent (which I'll leave to the coaches to decide), he could be a steal given his size.

[SubGod22]

Tulane, Ark-LR, Liberty and Wichita State appear to be his favorites. Has offers from all


Also has picked up an offer from SE LA

"Although they didn't win the Great American Shootout in Denton, the Houston Hoopstars were certainly considered one of the best teams in the tournament. Shannon Shorter was a big reason why. The well-built 6-foot-4, 195-pound shooting guard from Westside High School in Houston was near unstoppable offensively, whether it was from mid-to-long range or going to the basket. Recruiting has been hot and heavy for Shorter, as he's currently got some scholarship offers and more should be on their way in the near future."

If we really have offered this guy (another guard), I think the chances of Hatch playing at WSU are slim to none.

[SubGod22]

I agree. I don't see why we'd still be going after gaurds, Ty Abbott in town this weekend, if Hatch were comming. With 3 schollies for 07 you'd think no more than 2 would go to gaurds with the other being a big man, maybe a wing.

[SpanglerFan316]

Maybe Ty could be a PJ type wing?

Shorter has his first visit scheduled and it's to Liberty. He plans on visiting Wichita State in the near future.


Texas Hoops Analysis: SHANNON is a slashing guard who finds ways to get to the rim and score in traffic. He slices and slithers to the hole, has a strong body to take contact and still get to the rim and finishes well in traffic. He has a smooth stroke from 3 point line that is effective but a little awkward, plays with a lot of energy, is always around the ball and is very active and aggressive on defense. He is a good rebounding guard and plays hard and to win all the time.

Sounds like a typical MVC SF to me.

A smooth and awkward shot?

Appears to be a top recruit target.

WSU has come so far in recruiting, since Coach Turgeon arrived. Sometimes, I think it is miraculous.

I guess his shot is kinda like Vince Young's throwing motion. It looks awkward, but the ball comes out in a nice spiral and is accurate. At the end of the day, I don't care if something looks awkward so long as it works.

[SubGod22]

I wouldn't mind seeing a 6'4" SG built like him on the court.

Being knee deep in guards for 06 and 07, perhaps we should go after Shannon Longer instead. But MT will work it all out.
