veteran Air Force guard with a coach’s approval stamp
In the 2010-11 season, Shawn Hempsey was a versatile Air Force guard who flashed steady all-around value: he played in 25 games, scored a career-high nine points twice, and also posted a career-high four rebounds and four assists in a game. Air Force’s own coverage says he earned the Cliff Parsons Falcon Award for giving “100 percent regardless of their situation and place on the team,” which is a strong fit signal for programs that value toughness, reliability, and buy-in. He looks like a glue guy more than a pure volume scorer, but that kind of dependable, high-effort guard can absolutely help a team.
