John and he would have some epic battles in practice and would definitely give us a presence in the paint that we have not seen before. Just not sure what type of inroads we have for him but he is an in-state player, so why not at least offer him. Looks like Bradley is one of the frontrunners at the moment. His Rivals.com link

Rags says you can get anything you want at UE. We shall see. Very few players don't play for their father.

That thread tells you everything you need to know about Marcus character. What incredible guy.
It also tells me he definitely will not force UE on John and is going to do whatever is in his sons best interest in his recruitment. We can definitely still win this recruitment, but it’s going to be because John truly believes Evansville is the best situation for him.

Nobody would expect that Marcus would force John to do anything, but let's hope that Marcus, Rags, and Snow can convince him that UE is the best place to be. How many times do you have the inside tract on a 5 star player that could take UE to the next level? How about never.

It’s different than the McDermott situation; but, when you do have the above… you get to go from the MVC to the Big East….

Doug McDermott was not a 5 star recruit and probably not even a 3 star recruit. He was not even the best player on his high school team - that was Harrison Barnes. As a high school senior, Doug did not sign with Iowa State when Greg was the coach there - Doug was thought of as more of an MVC level player and he signed with UNI, though he could have gone to ISU. UNI let him out of that commitment and he signed with Creighton when his dad was hired there. So he may be mentioned as someone who played for his dad, but that was not a foregone conclusion and Doug was not going to do that unless it was the right program. I would absolutely love for John to play for UE - I mean, that would be awesome - but it would be completely understandable if he went to a blue blood type school. I would not expect Marcus to try to influence him other than encouraging John to go where he feels the most comfortable; I'm sure Marcus will be a dad, not a recruiter in this situation. It all depends on what John is looking for - playing for Marcus would be a strong draw and we certainly have a shot, but there would be compelling reasons to play for a national power as well.

Good to see Coach Wilson wearing some Aces gear while here in Georgia. Promoting the program without having to say a word. Congrats to John and Coach!

Wasn't sure if I should put this on the Assistant Coaches page but since there wasn't one specifically for Marcus I put this on John's page - not to confuse this with recruiting.

We're all are optimistic about getting John because of Marcus, but I dont see it happening.

We're all are optimistic about getting John because of Marcus, but I dont see it happening. Gonna be a tough battle for sure. I think he’ll also be in the first class that can go straight to the NBA out of HS again. I could see him doing that if his stock keeps rising. No reason to risk injury/draft stock falling if you’re anticipated to be a lottery pick straight out of HS.
