Women’s basketball team gets second verbal for 2013

Correction appended

Shannon Cranshaw is the latest 2013 recruit to verbally commit to the Colonials, with Brett McCormick of the All-Star Girls Report indicating that the guard intends to play for GW.

“Shannon Cranshaw 5-9 G 2013 from Father Lopez HS FL has given her verbal to George Washington,” McCormick tweeted.

Cranshaw confirmed the news on her own Twitter account, retweeting many messages of congratulations on her decision to play for the Colonials. She’s the second 2013 recruit for GW, following Caira Washington, a 6-foot-3 center from Georgetown Day School.

Cranshaw was a key figure in Father Lopez’s playoff run last season, including an effort against a rival high school where she added 22 points. A video of her junior year highlights can be seen below.

An earlier version misspelled Shannon Cranshaw’s last name. The post has been updated with the correct spelling.
