As the coaching adage goes, you can't coach size. After kicking around at LSU, where he was apparently underutilized despite the Tigers' glaring need for post players, Sheppard found a home at Pepperdine, where another SEC refugee, former Vanderbilt coach Jan van Breda Kolff, resurfaced. Sheppard is a physical presence who's a good rebounder on either end of the floor. He can alter a shot if not return it straight to sender. And he's big.
Coaches love big.
