Shannon Shorter - To aTm - CC

[The Mad Hatter]

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

According to Sub, we have offered, so it would appear that MT may already be thinking that way.

Shorter

Just for perspective, I would also consider Jason Perez's shot smooth but awkward.

... and effective! Thank God for J.P. during the drought laden years, almost siingle handedly he made my ticket purchases worthwhile. Of course Duke's personally was another enoyable factor during "those years".

Thank you J.P.!!

Go Shocks!!!!

Coach's name for Duke was "Uke" because there was not a "D" in his game. (Or something like that.)

And coach was so right. He was a terrific athlete and could jump out of the gym, but his game was so undisciplined. I could not help, but like him. He was fun to watch and to converse with him.

I came across a video I took of a Duke dunk during the dunk contest at a Shocker Madness. It was one where he jumped over the ball rack and reverse dunked. I'll see if I can post it on the b-ball board sometime soon.

RDR I remember that quote! I believe it was during the annual Shocker Luncheon, which is always sometime in November and as I've done for sooo many years will make the trek into town for the cattle call of mass produced turkey & dressing.

Go Shocks!!!!

TexasHoops ranks him #46 in the state

I am sure he is good but that isn't very high

[SubGod22]

It's really not that bad when you consider how much talent is in the state of Texas. Texas Hoops ranked the top 105. A couple of the guys we're looking at didn't make that list even. I don't recall guys like Braeuer making the list but I could be wrong.

It is especially true given the development of high school basketball in Houston. Houston is starting to produce NCAA basketball players like Detroit used to, which makes being in the top 100 in Texas pretty good nationally.

According to todays Rivals article Shannon was quoted saying he won't be here until Oct. 13. Don't know where the other info came from. He'll visit Tulane the first weekend in october and enjoyed his trip to Liberty.

That will put him here for Shocker Madness.

I'm going to voluntarily step into the trap here, but I'm hoping the schools he's listed with, besides us and Tulane, means he's an under-the-radar player (ala, Burns, Braeuer, Durley). Being from Texas makes this all the more probable.

I hope Shocker Nation turns out in droves to witness the Madness this year!

The entire state of Texas is getting bigger and bigger on high school basketball, to the point where it's almost approaching.... dare I say... football in terms of following.
