Shepherd in AggieLand: N.C. A&T head men’s basketball coach Jerry Eaves feels like he got a steal when he signed Shepherd…He is a versatile big man who can put the ball on the floor and score…His long wingspan will also provide the Aggies with another shot blocker and excellent point man at the top of the Aggies full-court pressure defense…Also has a nice medium range jump shot…He did not play much as a freshman as the coaching staff worked to get him stronger for the rigors of playing in the MEAC…This season, he could play some center and power forward…He has the talent to be a valuable scorer for the Aggies.
