Jordan Shanklin spent the majority of his summer rehabbing a chin fracture and watching from the sidelines. After being cleared by doctors in early July, Shanklin burst back onto the scene at the Hoop Fest followed by some stellar play in Vegas at the Adidas Super 64. Shanklin is a team first point guard that uses his speed and quickness to push the pace and to get his teammates involved. He is among the top 10 players in the state of Kentucky regardless of class.

Recently Full Court Preps writer David Money was able to catch up with Shanklin, touching on a number of topics.



Since the interviews Clemson, Butler, and VCU have become heavily involved in Shanklin's recruitment. Shanklin does have an offer from Western Kentucky as well. Below are some highlights of the superb guard in action.

Shanklin spent the majority of his sophomore season sidelined with a stress fracture in his shin. When healthy Shanklin is a dynamic guard that possess an explosive ability to get to the rack. He is a hustler and a hard worker. Wreaking havoc seems to be in his dna, this kid does all the little things that put his team in position to win. His natural instincts only enhance his already sharp passing abilities. His perimeter shot is polished enough to keep defense's honest but could use some tightening up.
