"From the very first day he arrived on campus Shammgod was the brash young guard who was the talk of the campus. No one had seen anyone handle the ball the way he did. Already a playground legend in New York City, Sham was another in a long line of point guards from the Big Apple that included Lenny Wilkens, Kenny Anderson, and Tiny Archibald (his coach in 8th grade)."

"The [1997] Friars, who were seeded 10th, went on to defeat Marquette, Duke, and Tennessee Chattanooga to advance to the Elite Eight where they lost in overtime to the eventual national champion, Arizona. Shammgod had a great NCAA Tournament highlighted by a 23 point, 5 assist performance against the Wildcats."

"[He] received assurances that the New York Knicks were going to take him with the 25th pick in the first round. When the Knicks decided instead to go with John Thomas, a 6’9 forward out of Minnesota, Shammgod was not selected until the 45th pick in the second round by the Washington Wizards."
