Shawn Glover
Edit ProfileCareer
He competed with the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles men"s basketball team in his final years of college, initially playing for the Utah Utes men"s basketball program Glover was named First Team All-Southland in 2014 after being one of the top scorers in the National Collegiate Athletic Association and making school history. Glover, attending Cedar Hill High School in Cedar Hill, Texas, was named the Longhorns" team Most Valuable Player twice.
Under head coach David Milson, he was named all-district, all-regional, and ultimately all-state.
The peak of Glover"s high school basketball career is considered to be in the 2009 UIL state tournament, in which he averaged 16.5 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 4.0 blocks. He led his team to the 5A title game, where he shot 6-for-11 in a loss to DeSoto High School.
After receiving offers from various schools around the nation, the most notable being Oklahoma State, Marquette, and Colorado, Shawn Glover committed to Utah on September 11, 2008. He was then listed as a power forward with outstanding handles and developing strength by Rivals.com.
In his freshman year with the Utah Utes, Shawn Glover made 13 starts in the 29 games he played in.
He scored a season-high 10 points against Wyoming on February 27, 2010. He recorded seven rebounds at University of Nevada, Las Vegas, which soon became a season-high as well. By the end of the season, Glover had been averaging 3.4 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 0.5 assists, ranking 7th on the team scoring-wise.
As a sophomore, Glover saw the three top scorers on the freshman team leave, but he failed to positively impact the team once more.
He shot just 35% from the field, the third lowest on the entire team, but his 77% free-throw shooting ranked 2nd. On February 5, 2011, in a loss to Air Force, Glover recorded a season-high 15 points despite the fact that he was not a starter.
Shortly after his second year at Utah, Shawn Glover sought permission to transfer to a school outside of the Pac-12 Conference. He ended up with Oral Roberts, whom he had previously declined an offer from.
Throughout his first year at Oral Roberts, Glover strengthened a frontcourt that had previously been single-handedly led by top scorer Warren Niles.
By the end of the season, the transfer became the team"s third leading scorer, behind Niles and Damen Bell-Holter. As both leading scorers on the 2012-2013 Oral Roberts team left in an attempt to play professionally, a breakout season for Shawn Glover ensued. He was named First Team All-Southland and was also known to be one of the conference"s most elite defenders.
Although Glover was tied for being the 11th highest scorer in the 2013-2014 National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I men"s basketball season, the prestigious Southland Conference Men"s Basketball Player of the Year award went to Stephen F. Austin"s Jacob Parker.
On August 16, 2014, Glover signed a deal to play with Palma Air Europa for the 2014-2015 season.
Membership
He finished the regular season averaging 21.3 points, helping him be the eighth member of the school"s 1,000-point club (fastest all-time).
