Shaquille Harrison

Shaquille Harrison was born in Kansas City, Missouri in 1993 to Jack Harrison Jr. and Michelle Francis. His younger brother, Monte, is an accomplished outfielder who was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in 2014. Harrison went to Lee's Summit West High School and earned two All-District and All-Conference selections. As a senior, he posted averages of 17.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 3.2 steals while being named to the Missouri All-State first team. Harrison also landed the same award in football as a wide receiver, having played for the school's football squad over three seasons.

Harrison started every game he appeared in for coaches Danny Manning and Frank Haith. The team also moved from Conference USA to the American Athletic. The 6-foot-4 guard improved his scoring average in each of his four seasons. He averaged just 6.8 points as a freshman, but he improved to 9.6 points as a sophomore. The Golden Hurricane won its last regular-season games before sweeping through its last Conference USA Tournament. Harrison averaged 9.6 points, but he did not score in the first-round loss to UCLA in the NCAA Tournament. The guard took a bigger scoring role as an upperclassman. He had a five-game streak of 20-or-more-points games as a junior and averaged 13.1 points and 3.7 rebounds. As a senior, Harrison guided the team back to the Big Dance. He led with 15.1 points and had a pair of double-doubles. Tulsa was unable to win a NCAA Tournament game, but Harrison scored 23 points with seven rebounds and five assists in the loss to Michigan. The guard closed his career as the only player in Tulsa history with 1,300 points, 400 assists and 200 steals.
