After reading various reports on Shamburger, here's a summary:
- Combo guard, but primarily a point guard who looks for his shot
- Lightening quick
- Major range on his jumper (money to 22 feet)
- Clutch shooter (Nike campers nicknamed him "Little Big Shot")
Shamburger had originally given a verbal commitment to Portland, but decided to open up his recruiting. Junipero Serra was a top 5 team in California and Shamburger was its best player. Bzdelik must really like him, because he wasn't recruiting a guard this cycle (was looking for 2 bigs and a wing/slasher type). According to a new
Rivals article, Colorado coaches went to see him play in the state playoffs. We haven't offered yet, but apparently liked what we saw and we should expect a visit.
"I'm taking a real serious look at Colorado right now," Shamburger said.

Bzdelik must be pretty blown away by this kid if he's thinking of offering a guard this cycle.
Here's a brief YouTube clip of Shamburger just about breaking a defender's ankle with a move before calmly stepping back to drain a 3:
