Recruiting Report: 2020 Shawn Royal (Video)
Louisiana’s 2020 prospects began to make their presences felt over the summer and Shawn Royal was certainly in that number. He started the summer around 6-foot-3 but has already shot up to 6-foot-5.
He’s a very versatile player with the ability to snatch a rebound and go coast-to-coast for a bucket and he’s also a good halfcourt player who can handle the ball and distribute to teammates. Royal also has range out to the 3-point line and his size can be a big asset on defense when he’s locked in.
The 6-foot-5 prospect is already receiving interest from programs like UNO, who had Royal sit in on a practice with several other NOLA23 teammates in early August. Other schools such as Tulane, Northwestern State and Appalachian State have also made inquiries regarding Royal and he has all the signs of being a Division I player in the making.
Here’s a look at Royal over the summer with both his high school team Country Day, as well as his grassroots team NOLA23.
