Coach Flynn Clayman and the High Point Panthers have strengthened their frontcourt with the addition of Frankquon Sherman from Kennesaw State.
This isn’t the kind of commitment that grabs headlines because of scoring.
It’s the kind that wins championships.
Sherman brings something every great team covets but few consistently possess: physicality, rebounding, and relentless effort. The type of player whose impact is measured in extra possessions rather than highlight plays.
After emerging as one of Conference USA’s premier rebounders, Sherman arrives in High Point ready to establish a different level of toughness.

Scouting Breakdown
Relentless Rebounder
Sherman lives around the basketball.
He consistently controls the glass on both ends of the floor, creating extra possessions offensively while finishing defensive possessions with authority.
He doesn’t simply collect rebounds.
He changes the math of a basketball game.
Interior Efficiency
His offense comes through constant activity.
Putbacks. Rim runs. Dump-offs. Cuts.
Sherman understands where the ball is going before it gets there and finishes efficiently without needing plays designed for him.
He’s the type of frontcourt player who quietly reaches double figures simply by never taking a possession off.
Vertical Pressure
One element High Point has searched for is a true vertical threat.
Sherman supplies it.
As a rim runner and lob target, he forces defenses to account for the paint every possession, opening driving lanes and creating additional space for High Point’s shooters and guards.
Defensive Toughness
Strong frame.
High motor.
Constant effort.
Sherman embraces contact, battles on the interior, and provides the kind of physical presence that allows an aggressive defensive system to function without sacrificing rebounding.
Fit at High Point
High Point already plays with pace.
Already spaces the floor.
Already forces turnovers.
Sherman ensures those possessions end with rebounds and often begin the next possession with transition opportunities.
His physicality complements Clayman’s speed-based philosophy, giving the Panthers another frontcourt player capable of doing the dirty work that fuels winning basketball.
HPU Comparison
Sherman fits the mold of a Justyn Mutts-style forward.
Versatile. Physical. Selfless.
The type of player who impacts every game without demanding the spotlight.
Final Word
Frankquon Sherman is a culture addition as much as a basketball addition.
He rebounds.
He defends.
He finishes possessions.
And he gives High Point another rugged, high-motor piece capable of turning effort into victories.
