Shaqquan Aaron’s first homecoming to Seattle didn’t go so well.
In 2015, the former Rainier Beach High star was a freshman reserve with the Louisville Cardinals, who came to Seattle for a pair of games at KeyArena in the early rounds of the NCAA tournament.
It was a rocky time for Aaron, who had been publicly scorned by coach Rick Pitino for inconsistency. After missing the first nine games of the season due to an NCAA suspension for receiving improper benefits in high school, Aaron quickly fell out of favor and plummeted to the bottom of the rotation at Louisville.
