.....Here is a look at a few of the players that have greatly enhanced their recruiting stock with their strong efforts on the basketball court this spring.............

 

Derrick Marks 6'2" Guard Plainfield Central

A University at Albany recruit. Has been sensational throughout the spring for Old Gold. Gets to the rim and finishes with ease. Can also score it with his jumper, and goes hard on the defensive end.

 

It sure would be nice if we could keep Marks

Gotta make it to signing period with this kid, big time schools are sniffing around.

Wonder if they got a second verbal for 2011 that we don't know about yet?

 

From Brown's website:

 

"Technically we are done with our 2010 and 2011 class. Recruiting never ends and that is how we approach it!"

Uthoff, a kid we started recruiting a long time ago but backed off once it became clear he'd go much higher gave his verbal to Wisconsin.

I don't think he was ever promised a scholy...he understood that coming to UA if memory serves.

"Class of 2011 Plainfield Central star Derrick Marks of Old Gold remains a red-hot commodity on the recruiting trail. Marks has added new interest from a pair programs, and just wrapped up his last unofficial visit. Marks ranks as one of the top Class of 2011 prospects in the state of Illinois.

 

Marks, a 6'2" guard, enjoyed his visit to Western Michigan. “First we talked to the president of the school and we talked about their school. He was very excited that Western was recruiting me. Then I talked to the academic advisors and the president of the business school. They have a very well known and strong business program that is recognized around the country. Also, Coach Hawkins has a 100% graduation rate and he promised me that I will get my degree."

 

“On the basketball side I will be able to step right in and play. They play my style of play, which is up-and-down and in your face basketball. They are a contender in the MAC every year. They just got Hayden Hoerdermann as well, and we are both playmakers, so I can really see myself playing that system.”

 

Marks remains a red-hot commodity on the recruiting trail. “It’s going really well at the moment. Butler is really hot on me right now, and Nebraska has stepped in as well along with Boise State, Fairfield, Valparaiso, Texas Christian, Colorado State, Southern Illinois, Toledo, Indiana State, Bradley, and now Western Michigan, so everything is going really well at the moment,” said Marks.

 

Marks is still evaluating his options, and looking to see if any other new schools are going to jump into the mix. Marks plans on signing in November, and expects to only take official visits to schools from this point forward."

Anyone seen Galal Cancer out of CBA play?

[Clickclack]

Looks like Marks to Boise St.

 

Good for him

There's a story in today's TU about Galal Cancer going to Cornell. Certainly would have liked him to come to UA but I can understand his reasoning.
