Back in the day, shortly after arriving at TCU as the top-ranked recruit in the history of the men’s basketball program, Karviar Shepherd envisioned Fort Worth as a place for a one-year stay on his path to the NBA.
“At one point, yeah,” Shepherd said during a recent interview. “But things happen for a reason. I’m blessed to be in the situation I’m in now.”
For the 6-foot-11 senior, today’s situation involves coming off the bench to play for a first-year coach. It involves closing in on a bachelor’s degree that will make Shepherd the first member of his family to finish college.
