Going Pro- Matt Shaw signs with Spanish league

Matt Shaw is headed to the Canary Islands to play professionally in the Spanish league. WSIL is reporting that it's a one year deal worth 40k.

Shaw's size combined with his ability to shoot the three is a big reason that he was given the opportunity to play at the next level. Once the Spanish league season starts I'll try post a few updates on how Shaw is doing. The next question is when will Randal Falker sign a pro deal?

Salukis get verbal from '09 PG Kendal Brown

Chris Lowery landed his first '09 verbal on Tuesday. Kendal Brown, a PG from Lowery's old stomping grounds, Harrison High School in Evansville, Indiana. Brown wasn't heavily recruited by major schools but that doesn't mean he can't have a big impact for the Salukis. Averaging 15 points and 5 assists as a junior, Brown has shown the quickness and athleticism necessary to succeed at the next level.

Looking ahead to the '09 class, Kevin Dillard will be a sophomore and Tony Freeman will begin play as a 5th year senior. Unless there is an injury to Dillard or Freeman it would probably make sense to redshirt Brown, but that decision is still a long way off. For now it's good to see the '09 class shaping up and with the point guard position squared away, Lowery can now focus on landing a big man for '09. Mike Broghammer and Drew Kelly are two likely targets.
