Toledo basketball transfer Shumate looks to make most of jump to D-I

New Toledo men's basketball transfer JT Shumate is anxious to meet his new Rockets teammates and prove he can play at the NCAA Division I level after transferring from Division II Walsh University .

For now, he is forced to make do at his house in Newark, Ohio. He can run on the treadmill and lift weights in his basement, but there is one catch.

The basketball court in his driveway has had a huge puddle for most of the time he has been home.

“It's not completely level, so it's basically a pond out here on the court,” Shumate said.
