Tulsa walk-on guard whose grit and team-first game outplayed the box score
In the 2010-11 season, Shane Heirman was a 6-foot-1 senior guard and returning letterwinner at Tulsa who came in as a walk-on and appeared in 31 career games, with his game built more on reliability, toughness, and coachability than volume scoring[1][2]. Tulsa credits him with being part of the program’s 2008 CBI title run and back-to-back C-USA tournament final appearances, while career records show modest scoring output—17 career points—underscoring that his value was in glue-guy intangibles and steady habits rather than flash[2][3].
