From the moment that former SMU head coach Larry Brown and staff saw Shake Milton play for the first time, they knew he would be special.
Considering the interest Milton garnered as a prospect out of high school, so did many others. During his junior and senior years, the four-star guard may have been the biggest attraction in Owasso, Oklahoma.
When Milton committed to SMU in October of 2014, the program gained a player a future could be built around. Milton, though just a sophomore, is currently playing beyond his years. His 27 point performance in the Mustangs’ 85-64 win over Houston on Saturday night showed off Milton’s capacity to score from everywhere.
