Considered a late bloomer, rising from a Rivals three-star in April of 2007 to a five star by signing period. UW offered sometime in April of 2007.
His profile has been made basically to continue tracking his progress. UW was actually his favorite at one point in his recruitment, saying "I've talked to him (Howard Moore) a lot. I used to talk to him probably weekly with me just calling him early on in the season. (Wisconsin) was like my favorite, so to speak." We then took too much time to offer, in Shumpert's mind, so when we did finally offer he told us that we were too late and that he had already focused on other schools. He eventually choose GT, and that's where the story ends. Anyways, this will serve as a place to track Shumpert's progress throughout his collegiate career.
Offers: Marquette, UW, UNC, GT, Nevada, Minnesota, Clemson, Tennessee, among others
Final Three: Marquette, UNC, Georgia Tech

"(The University of Minnesota) didn't really compare," UW Kicker Taylor Mehlhaff said. "I loved the atmosphere here. It was pretty easy to cross (Minnesota) off the list. I wanted to play at the highest level possible but I also wanted to have that college atmosphere."
