Marcus has left the basketball team to pursue other options. I think he is leaving school and transfering to a DII in Texas somewhere. I hope that everything works out for him. We really didn't get much of a chance to see him play, but for those mins that we did see him, he made the most of it. He was a good defender, and will be missed. Good Luck Marcus...Thanks for coming to Weber.
With his departure that definitely shortens the bench a bit. Its too bad that Lindsey Hughey isn't going to be here till next fall. Lindsey is playing out of his head right now and is a 2. The biggest problems for this team do not stem from Marcus, but from the lack of floor leadership. Without Marcus I think we might start seeing Bullinger or Hansen play the 3 more, Davis will get more mins, Lillard might be playing the 2 more, which might bring Benson and Cottle off the bench (2 or 3 more mins a game) to give McCoy and Lillard a rest. I really don't think that Bullinger should be playing the 4 or that Lillard should be playing the 1 right now (He will be a good point eventually, but the Kid needs his confidence and the best way to help him find that is to play him at his natural position). This move might even bring Ramos off the bench for a few extra mins a game, who knows. I think Weber needs to recruit a true PF and another C for next years team. I think Byron Fulton will be a PF and not a C... Weber needs another true C. Mahoney and Ramos are both PFs, and Bullinger is a 3... Morris is our only true C.
