George Marshall Commits to the Badgers!

Well, it's two weeks late, but Chicago Brooks College Prep point guard George Marshall has committed to Wisconsin! He is the second verbal commit to the Badger 2011 class, along with forward Devon Hodges.

Marshall is considered one of the top 3 or 4 point guards in his class within the state of Illinois. The strengths in his game currently are his midrange shooting, handle, and defense. He is inconsistent from the arc and has trouble finishing among the trees, but is working on improving those areas. He is a decent athlete and long for his height, with a very coach-able personality and has a decent basketball IQ. He has been compared to Jordan Taylor with better shooting skills at the same time in their development. If that holds true, Wisconsin is set at the point guard position for until 2015! Also, apparently his father is around 6'4", and given his baby-face, he may not be done growing either. Now hopefully we can just land Markus Crider, Traevon Jackson, or the longshot Chasson Randle.

UW Offers George Marshall!

Last night after the IPFW game, Wisconsin offer prospect George Marshall of Brooks College Prep High School in Illinois. Marshall is a 5'11" point guard with great floor leadership, court vision, and ability to hit shots with range and accuracy. He was quoted as saying, "I went to their game today against IPFW, and after the game I talked with Howard Moore, and he talked about academics and their expectations on the court. Then I talked to head coach Bo Ryan, and he said how he likes my game, and how they would like to have me. They then offered me a scholarship. It means a lot to pick up a Big Ten offer, especially from a winning program like Wisconsin, and a coach like Bo Ryan."

Marshall also has offers from DePaul, Baylor, Illinois State, Xavier, and Ohio.
