Pacific lands a backcourter

6-foot-3, 200 pound backcourter/wing Aaron Short has given a verbal to Coach Bob Thomason and the University of Pacific. He played the last two seasons at Cabrillo College, averaging a team-leading 15.8 points plus 7.4 rebounds a game this season, earning all-state honors for his accomplishments. Short shot 41% overall, 30% on treys and 69% from the foul line while finishing second on the team with 53 steals. His 63 assists was third on the squad.
