Be interesting to see who comes for him now that he committed to Iowa State. Also, see if we see a bump in ratings. Highlights look promising.

From the quote already has the ISU MBB mentality… easy to see why the staff moved fast to get the commitment.

Kid prides himself on being a relentless defender. Yeah that’s a fit

I'm sure he's a good player, but what changed? Why are we offering a '26 PG this late in the process?

I imagine you are always recruiting. It's never done. You might find someone new who's a perfect fit.

I think Gray is the true PG of the class. Zelee is more of the combo guard like a Gilbert. Wiggins is a wing outside shooter. So realistically there’s a home for all 3

It’s not even late in the process. TJ just usually finishes before everyone else gets started

“I’m coming to win a Big 12 title — multiple times — and to make a deep run and win the NCAA Tournament. I’ll bring energy 24/7, on and off the court. I’m for the people and the city. And I WILL be the best version of myself every single day.”


Love this young man's attitude. Welcome home, Marcus! You're gonna love your new family!

 

[FerShizzle]

he can shoot. quick release too.

It's obvious, TJ is out of gas.

 

[Bipolarcy]

In those clips, he looks about three steps faster than everyone else on the court.

Looks like the kid has a knack for stealing the ball. Lightning fast hands! Poor Tamin's steal record might not last very long.

Welcome to the Cyclones, Marcus!

Can't have too many high-quality guards.

Lipsey, Heise, and Nelson are done after next season. Jefferson is a secondary ballhandler and is done after this year. Even if Toure and Batemon hit, they're going to need to replenish the backcourt.

TJ doesn't bat 1.000, but if the staff felt this strongly about a young man, then bring him on down.
