Why'd you choose Vanderbilt over Syracuse?
Academics was important. It was 19th versus 52nd in overall academics. I took visits to both campuses. Syracuse has a nice campus but the environment here is much more enjoyable. I didn't really enjoy the practices that I saw. The whole philosophy as well.
Who else recruited you?
My first offer was Temple. Also Syracuse, Harvard, Vandy, and Villanova.
You wanted to come to a warmer climate didn't you?

According to Dallas Coach Rick Carlisle (also an accomplished musician) Shan has a good chance to make the team. Dallas is thin when it comes to shooters so that definitley is an advantage for Shan. Supposedly if Shan had not been there Dallas would have traded out of the pick.

How excited are you to be coming to Vanderbilt? I’m very excited. It has been my dream ever since I was a little kid to play in a big time college program like Vanderbilt’s and play for a coach like Coach Corbin. I cant wait to get in and meet all of my teammates and the surrounding people of the baseball program. It was tempting, but I had to put the dollar amount aside and figure out whether I wanted to go off as a 17 year old and start working (literally) or come to school, get an education, and try and be apart of a first Vanderbilt team to go to Omaha. But my family was really supportive of the fact that I need an education and my 15 year old brother actually convinced me to come to school. Which was a real shock hearing that from him. He’s been there for everything I’ve done. To read the rest of the interview please click here |

Vanderbilt, has always been one of my favorite colleges because of the education factor and competitive atmosphere. Those two combinations are rare in todays college sports world. What are you most proud of from your time at Vanderbilt? My best moment at Vanderbilt would be graduation. So many people doubted that I would make it that far and I was able to prove the naysayers wrong. Who was the toughest player to defend?
