Former Shaw star forward Anthony Greenup has signed a contract to play with the world-renown Harlem Globetrotters.  His first tour begins this month and will finish up in April at the NCAA Final Four in a game against college All-stars. 

The signing of Greenup brings the number of players from Shaw to sign professional contract to four, since Ronald "Flip" Murray was drafted by the Seattle Supersonics in 2002,.  Forward Kenyon Booker signed to play professionally overseas in Croatia in 2003, while guards Cedric Lusk and Cordell Maxwell have signed this year to play with the Maryland Nighthawks of the ABA.   

Greenup had signed to play with NBDL defending champions Asheville Altitude late in October before deciding to sign with the Globetrotters this week.  Greenup averaged 20.9 points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.8 blocks for the Bears while leading the nation in field goal percentage (.711) on his way being to being named as an All-American.
