The WSSU basketball shakeup won’t end with the loss of Cleo Hill Jr.
Winston-Salem State is losing its returning leading scorer and a recent Division I commitment following the departure of Cleo Hill Jr. to take the job at Maryland-Eastern Shore.
Ketron “KC” Shaw announced he will be hitting the transfer portal via social media on Tuesday.
“First and foremost, I want to thank God for blessing me with the opportunity to play the game I love at Winston Salem State University,” Shaw wrote. “These past two years have been nothing but short of amazing.

Shaw joined WSSU prior to the 2022-2023 season. He played 27 games during his freshman season for the Rams, averaging 3.6 points per game and 2.4 rebounds. He started for much of the season, including the run to the CIAA title.
