The inscription on Shouse's plaque which is exhibited in the upper lobby of the Al Wheeler Activity Center reads as follows: "Always a crowd favorite, Danny Shouse burst onto the Peru State basketball scene in 1976. By the time the explosive Indiana native moved on to a professional career in Europe, he had set the PSC career scoring mark with 1,893 points per game -  in just three seasons. A three – time NAIA All- District selection, Shouse's pro career was highlighted by a 100-point game. After he retired, Shouse returned to PSC and earned a degree in 1990."

His scoring prowess helped Ármann win Division I and achieve promotion to the Úrvalsdeild.  Even though Shouse played in the nations tier 2 league during his first season, he was widely regarded as one of the best players in the country .
