We Got’em! Matt Shrigley that is…
Wow. Another stellar recruit headed to SDSU. Matt Shrigley is from La Costa Canyon and grades out at 90 via ESPN. From ESPN the following profile sums up Matt’s abilities on the court Strengths: Shrigley played with purpose and toughness and it was especially exemplified in the way he attacked off the dribble. His shooting touch is quite good out to the stripe, but if he continues to not settle for jump shots and attack in traffic with more consistency, his stock will rise. His frame needs strength, but he is deceptively bouncy as he had a couple of dunks that were highly impressive in traffic. Weaknesses: Shrigley has a rangy frame that needs to get stronger. He can elevate to the rim, but he has to finish more consistently with contact. He is … Read entire article »
