MBB: 2026 Guard Marcus Zelee Commits to Iowa State

[CyValley2]

Yes, it’s late in the cycle. Not to get a commit, but to START recruiting someone. It is what it is.

They've been recruiting some of those 150 guys for some time, haven't they? If so, that might say something powerful about Zelee. More than one or two ways to look at a development.

Just my opinion, but I find Mbb film to be incredibly hard to evaluate. FB is much easier. If you’re a decent player at all, you’re gonna have an impressive highlight reel. That said, I’ve not seen this kids tape so I have no idea what it looks like.

So, we can take comfort that the staff has done their due diligence, including watching Zelee in person? Who here can imagine this staff making this offer without a thorough non-film review and judgment?

Actually saw this kid play as a freshmen against a crazy good team, he held his own, but he was just a freshmen. That’s a long time ago though so who knows. Will see him again this year assuming he still playing at Brentwood. Looking forward to it.

Yeah dude..that’s the point of prefacing a statement with that, you new to English?

Also, given we did something similar in last years recruiting class, I thought that was fair speculation (what people do on message boards). But just let me know, speculation police!

I have zero doubt they know what they’re doing. With so few scholarships to give out, they are going to vet every offer to the extreme.
