Scout.com interview with Shawn Redhage after making 2008 Australian Olympic Team (July, 2008)
One of the top student-athletes at Arizona State and in the Pac-10 during his career (1999-2003) as he has posted a 3.61 grade point average and earned Pac-10 All-Academic honors three times. Earned All-Tournament honors at three different venues (Puerto Rico Shootout in the fall of 1999 and azcentral.com Holiday Classic and NABC Classic in early 2000). Nicknamed Charlie Hustle by current NBA player and ASU career-leading scorer Eddie House in 1999-2000. Finished his B.S. in Construction (General Building Construction) in December of 2007 and graduated Magna Cum Laude in a very difficult degree that requires five-years to begin with, as Shawn has played overseas (Australia) since he left ASU after his senior year (2002-2003). Earned 2003 Verizon Academic All-District VIII honors. A three-time Pac-10 All-Academic pick (2001-2003), he made 235-of-303 (.776) free throws in his four-year career and also had 76 blocks, ninth-best in ASU history.

AWESOME TRIP: Redhage spent two weeks in Spain playing with an 16-person Athletes in Action team in August of 2002. The trip was fun and educational, as Redhage's team learned the Spanish way of life as some games did not start until after 11 p.m. He posted 26 points, 15 rebounds and nine assists in his team's 83-34 win over Frigiliana in a game that was outdoors and under the lights. After 25 hours of travel on airplanes and layovers, the team spent much time relaxing on the beaches while also having Bible study sessions. The food also was interesting, as one day they served him watermelon, bread and pepperoni for breakfast.
FROM THE MIDWEST: Redhage made a solid impact in his rookie year (1999-2000) after following former Sun Devil Alton Mason's trail of coming to Tempe from the Nebraska prep ranks, where Redhage was the consensus pick for Nebraska Player of the Year in 1998-99.
