Bulldogs Get a 'Yes' from Fornshell

Shannon Fornshell will be taking her talents to Des Moines.

The 6'1" forward from Wayzata, Minnesota announced her verbal commitment to the Drake Women's Basketball program on Twitter. Fornshell joins Brooklin Dailey (6'0" G/F | Pleasant Hill, IA) in the Bulldogs' 2023 recruiting class.

As a junior at Wayzata High School, Fornshell averaged 10.9 points per game for a program that finished runner-up in the Minnesota Section 6AAAA Championship. Just weeks ago, Fornshell put a bow on her AAU career with Minnesota Metro Stars. Coaches and scouts have been impressed with the versatility Fornshell provides at the forward position.

It's the second verbal commitment in the last week for head coach Allison Pohlman, as the Bulldogs were able to land Grace Knutson (5'10" G | Cedar Falls, IA) in the 2024 recruiting class.
