Nov. 7, 2006 By Bobbi Roquemore UWM gets '08 commitmentUW-Milwaukee received its first oral commitment for the class of 2008 Tuesday night as Trenton Marshall of Louisiana spurned offers from Louisiana State and Southern California in favor of the Panthers. The 6-foot-5 Marshall, who is capable of playing both guard spots and small forward, averaged 20 points, 15 rebounds and seven assists per game at East St. John High School in Reserve, La. "He can really defend and the other thing is he can get you a basket at any time in the game, from anywhere," said Roy White, who coaches Marshall on the RBC West AAU traveling team based in Long Beach, Calif. The close attention paid to Marshall by Panthers assistant Brian Bidlingmyer and Marshall's respect for UWM's program factored into his decision, White said. www.jsonline.com/watch/?watch=2&date=11/7/2006&id=14079 |

 Mike ShanahanNorth Huntingdon, PA Norwin HS Ht: 6'5" Wt: 205 lbs PPG:16.0 RPG:4.7 APG:4.2 PG East: For Norwin's two-sport standout, it's time to hoop it upThursday, November 30, 2006 By Scott Robertson, Tri-State Sports & News Service Certain names are synonymous with their sports. Think Mario Lemieux, think hockey. Same with Larry Bird and basketball. Think of Mike Shanahan, think football ... and basketball. No, this is not the famed Super Bowl-winning coach of the Denver Broncos. It's the aspiring WPIAL champion point guard with the Norwin Knights' basketball team who doubles as a standout with the football team. "I get that a lot," Shanahan said of references to the Denver coach. "Doesn't bother me." Instead, Shanahan serves to bother opponents. A 6-foot-4, 220-pound junior, he plays wide receiver and cornerback for the football team and will play mostly at point guard on the basketball floor, where he enters this season as a three-year starter. His versatility and athletic ability already are drawing the attention of NCAA scouts. In football, he has heard at least a little interest from the likes of West Virginia, Pitt, Notre Dame, Connecticut, Purdue, Indiana, Northwestern and Michigan. The basketball suitors are almost as many and include, at least early on, expressions of interest from Penn State, Vermont, Akron, West Virginia, Wright State and Lafayette. Shanahan says he has not yet decided which sport he will play in college, let alone where he will go. Right now, he is intent on helping Norwin win an outright section title in basketball. He averaged about 16 points per game last season as Norwin went 18-6 and tied Connellsville for the Section 1-AAAA title, its first section title in 16 years. "Some people say I have more potential in football because of my body type," Shanahan said. "I don't know. I really like both sports. I haven't decided anything on that yet. I just want to keep playing both right now." Norwin basketball coach Lynn Washowich sees Shanahan as one of the keys to a potentially outstanding season for the Knights. Norwin played well most of last season but faded down the stretch, losing its last three games. That streak included a loss to Shaler in the first round of the WPIAL playoffs. "He's a tremendous athlete," Washowich said. "He's a once-in-20-years kind of athlete. He works hard, he's well-disciplined ... he's got all the pieces of the puzzle." Stopping Shanahan is a difficult matchup for most Knights' opponents. He will often be used to bring the ball up the floor because of his ballhandling and passing skills and his abilities to get his team into the proper offensive sets. He has a good shooting touch from behind the 3-point line, but his size allows Washowich to post him up inside against smaller defenders, giving Norwin an advantage on the blocks. "The biggest thing about him is that he can play all five positions," Washowich said. "He can hit the 3-pointer, but we can post him up, too. He has a good knowledge of the game and I like how he sees the floor, too. He can be a real matchup problem and we have to try to take advantage of that when we can." Shanahan is by no means alone this season. The Knights have a strong returning group that includes senior guard Jason Jasko, a two-year starter who tied with Shanahan for the team scoring lead last season. Those two form an outstanding backcourt on a team that will go nine players deep. Washowich also is looking for major contributions from the likes of 6-4 junior forwards Tyler Urban and Chris Matheny, 6-2 senior swing man Steve Grubbs, 5-10 senior guards Alex Federinko and Justin Seliga, 6-3 junior wing Adam Dominick and 6-0 junior guard Nick D'Orazio. "I think we have a pretty good team, but we can't let ourselves get complacent with what we did last year," Shanahan said. "I think we learned a lot from what we went through last year. "We have to play as hard as we can every night. We can't turn the ball over. We have to share the ball and play together." As the point guard and a three-year starter, Shanahan said it's his responsibility to ensure the team carries out those assignments. "I definitely feel like I have a leadership role," he said. "It's not like the guys look up to me or anything like that -- I don't mean it that way. It's just that I have been playing varsity since the ninth grade and because of that, I think the team looks for me to bring leadership and the right attitude here every day." Washowich said the Knights' attitude is a good one. He thinks the team needs to make an adjustment in its approach to move beyond where it went last season. "We've got some experienced players so we have a chance to be a pretty good team," he said. "You can always defend better. We did not do a bad job defending last year, but you can always do better. "The other thing we need to do it focus more on what is happening day-to-day. "Last year, I think we spent too much time looking at the big picture and thinking about what was going to happen down the road. We can't let ourselves fall into that this year. "We have to talk about what we are going to get done today and how we are going to get better tomorrow. We can't catch ourselves looking beyond that." www.post-gazette.com/pg/06334/742091-361.stm |

Scott Stucky is currently being recruited by Miami University, Ohio Univeristy, Western Carolina, and Wright State.
His father knows the Western Carolina coach personally.
Stucky told me that Coach Donlon (while at UNCW) was the first collegiate coach to show interest in him during his freshman season .
It is good to hear that the assistant coaches are going for the recruits early.

In the "what should we do with our last scholarship for 2007" thread, I voted to add another JUCO. After looking at our 2008 recuits, I changed my mind. I think we should hold onto it for this class. I've been going some google searches on the guys we are recruiting and they are all having very good years. Mike Shanahan, Scott Stucky, and Lee Tabb could be the best class ever for WSU if we could land all 3.

Crown Point avoids letdown, wins again January 28, 2007 By JOVAN SAVICH Post-Tribune VALPARAISO — On paper, this nonconference affair could almost appear somewhat evenly matched. But then, stat sheets don’t include data on defenders who fail to recognize they are being suckered by Crown Point’s Kyle Hanaway. Hanaway, a cunning junior point guard, sparked the Bulldogs (8-7) in Saturday night’s 76-61 victory over energetic Boone Grove. At a John F. Hinkley Gymnasium filled to near capacity, Boone Grove fans were hopeful of seeing a major upset. The Bulldogs were coming straight off a major emotional victory over top-ranked Valparaiso on Friday. And with the opening quarters both ending with tied scores of 19-19 and 40-40, it seemed possible. Hanaway, however, controlled the offensive flow with 10 unbelievable assists and led Crown Point in transition, which would result in his team finally pulling away midway through the final quarter. “You have to take your cap off to Boone Grove,” Crown Point coach Clint Swan said. Swan explained that since he was recuperating from a flu bug, assistants Brian Elston and Andy Sargent stepped up to have the Bulldogs well-prepared. However, in the end, Crown Point’s 43-20 rebounding advantage, and the monster post performance of junior Zach Cecich (22 points, 11 rebounds) took its toll on the Wolves (9-6). “We came out in the second half and were able to string together consecutive stops and Zach was simply dominating underneath,” Swan added. While Crown Point’s Stephen Albrecht was on fire with 15 of his 22 points in the opening half, Cecich became a force in the heated middle quarters. Boone’s Bryce Palleson would not be denied over the first 16 minutes as he consistently answered CP runs with a combination of perimeter shots and easy putbacks. Palleson scored a game-high 26 points, but when Hanaway and company established quicker tempo, the open looks no longer came as easy. “Tonight our defense had a lot to do with the success of our offense and Cecich was an absolute workhorse,” Hanaway said. “We just had to be a little more patient, but compared to last night (against Valparaiso) Cecich had such a big presence for us inside.” According to Wolves’ assistant Reggie Flesuig, head coach Matt McKay had to miss the weekend while caring for his ailing father in Ohio. “I give credit to our kids because they knew what Crown Point was capable of and they refused to be intimidated,” Flesuig said. Joe Johnson also scored in double figures for the Wolves with 17 points, including a trio of 3-pointers. Aleks Alavanja added 10 second-half points for the Bulldogs. www.post-trib.com/sports/232835,CP2.article |
