Got Him - UNC Lands Kendall Marshall
Not blaring, breaking news, but I just heard from a very close contact, who is a very solid source, that the Coach Roy Williams and UNC Tar Heel Basketball landed Kendall Marshall, who is a 6'3"...sophomore point guard.
Yes, a sophomore point guard for the Heels...Who would have thought that the Heels would reach down to underclassmen ranks of a sophomore class in order to secure a point guard. Yet, this move proves that this point guard must be pretty special.
Is he stronger than Tywon Lawson, who committed before his junior year at Oak Hill. We shall see...
However, the view from this keyboard says for Tar Heel fans to be fairly amped after hearing...and reading all of the gushing reports that have stemmed from summer camp and AAU circuit.
The initial reaction is to be nervous on a sophomore committal. However, you can sure bet that the "Master Recruiter", Coach Roy Williams, wouldn't take a risk on a point guard who could not only have the potential to be the best point guard in the class, but also can at least reach the class of a 25-35 ranked guard, which the Tar Heels have landed in the past with Marcus Ginyard or early 2008 signee, Larry Drew Jr.
In order to soothe your Tar Heel tummies, if Marshall doesn't pan out to be the top point guard in the class, you could sure bet that the Heels would go for another guy. Yet, that relief may lost only so long...With early committals emerging in this class, will any elite level point guards be left?
From the looks of the past there should be...Yet, looking at the case of Brandon Jennings, who is the best point guard of the class of 2008, you can't be so sure. Jennings committed to USC last season. Yet, he bolted for the greener pastures of Arizona later in the year. So, from the looks of things, the trend of locking-up the top point guard in the class may be emerging.
Following most reports, Marhsall is the real deal. He may not be at a Kenny Anderson level, which would be considered the top, ethereal, Zeus, level of high school talent that few people other than Allen Iverson or LeBron James should be considered. However, if Marshall finishes at the high-school talent level of Chauncey Billups, Randy Livingston, or Raymond Felton, Tar Heel fans should be thrilled.
Yet, why does the early signee case of JamesOn Curry dance among the Tar Heel visions...According to my sources, believe me, this kid is far different in terms of a socially adaptable recruit to the UNC-Chapel Hill campus.
Supposedly, Marshall has been a Carolina fan all along the route of his development, and his decision to go to UNC was expected.
On the Tar Heel front, be glad that you have the PG slot secured for the next four seasons. Take a peek into the future...
'07-'08 - Tywon Lawson/Quentin Thomas/Bobby Frasor
'08-'09 - Tywon Lawson/Bobby Frasor/Larry Drew Jr.
'09-'10 - Tywon Lawson/Larry Drew Jr.
'10-'11 - Larry Drew/Kendall Marshall
Wow, talk about long-term talent...And all locked-in...Very impressive.
