Former Illinois guard Terrence Shannon can now focus on the NBA draft after being cleared of rape charges
On Thursday, Shannon was found not guilty of rape charges, stemming from allegations last September in Lawrence, Kan. Shannon, who was an All-American last season, is projected as a first-round pick a few weeks from now in the NBA Draft.
While attending the NBA draft combine in May, he spoke with the media first time he spoke to reporters since the ordeal began. Last season was supposed to be all about improving his draft stock until the allegations surfaced. After returning from suspension, he led the Illini to the Big Ten tournament title and to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament before falling to eventual champion UConn.
