RE: 4 Star Commit!
Glad to have you Jordan!
But, haven't found any evidence of him being a 4 star recruit.

Verbal commits has him at 4 stars, Rivals has him at 3
https://verbalcommits.com/players/jordan-shorter
I went back to Rivals and did find him listed as a 3 star with offers from a number of big schools. The reason I couldn't find him is he is listed in the class of 2021 and I looked for him in the class of 2022. No idea what he had been doing for the past year. Maybe injured? Taking a player with an injury history wouldn't be out of line for us. Regardless if this is the reason we got him, I agree it is worth the "risk". We still have had no "official" announcements on recruiting this spring. Hope we release something soon.

RE: 4 Star Commit!
Looks like he did an extra Prep year at Westwood Christian after graduating from a high school in Ft. Lauderdale in 2021. More evidence that this staff can bring talent to Little Rock.

RE: 4 Star Commit!
Not sure why Darrell won't release the names of players when we sign them. He must have a reason, but it seems like we should "shout it from the rooftops" when we sign a highly rated player. Whether Shorter is a 3 or 4 star, that is a highly rated player for the OVC or, even, the Sun Belt.
