SEC Basketball Player Profile - Shan Foster

Shan Foster celebrates a victory in the NCAA Tournament last year.

Name: Shan Foster
Position: Guard - Forward
Height: 6'6"

Class: Senior

Nickname: N/A you can't give a nickname to a Vandy guy

Of all 12 players I am featuring, Shan Foster can execute a backdoor cut better than any of them. The Vanderbilt players are like Ninjas, one second they have the ball at the top of the key and then they throw the ball to the wing and the smoke bomb and the next second they are recieving the ball under the basket for an easy lay up. It's that crazy Princeton offense that regular basketball players can't understand. You have to be smart, you have to be Vandy smart.

The Commodores have lost 2 starters from last years sweet 16 team, but are looking at preseason All-SEC First Teamer Shan Foster to lead them into a tough SEC east. Last years team started and ended the season with games against Georgetown, but coach Kevin Stallings has selected a more conservative approach with in state Austin Peay coming to town for a matchup in the Stage that is Memorial Colliseum, where the teams and coaches sit under the basket.

Shan Foster may not be everything this team needs as they expect to rely on Freshman Andrew Ogilvy from Australia in the center, or is it Austria?
