South Dakota men’s basketball head coach Craig Smith has announced the addition of point guard Shy McClelland.
McClelland will have two years of eligibility remaining.
“Shy is a great fit for our basketball program,” said Smith. “He is a hard-nosed guard who can score and impact the game in a variety of ways. His leadership ability and work ethic will immediately impact our program.”
A native of Milwaukee, Wis., McClelland’s collegiate career includes stops at Mesa CC and the University of Detroit Mercy. McClelland was a two-year starter for Mesa and led the Thunderbirds to a 50-12 record.
Standing at 6 feet, 180 pounds, McClelland was an all-Arizona Community College Athletic Conference player as a sophomore. He averaged 15.5 points, 5.3 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game to lead the Thunderbirds to a regular season and Region I conference title. He was also named the Region I co-MVP.
