Part Two – Scouting and Recruiting
(St. Louis, MO) – Marcus Wilson’s charitable work ‘Nurturing Potential International’ is dear to his heart and he is passionate about basketball. His travels take him around the world to help needy children, but he is also recruiting and scouting for the NBA.
From recruiting during his one season at Evansville and finding young players to help fulfill their dreams, Wilson is constantly working to help young people grow in character and in their basketball skills. He recruits, scouts and trains young people.
We discussed his role in bringing Evansville’s best players to the Purple Aces’ program and how Valley teams can succeed in the radically changing college basketball landscape. ‘Name-image-likeness’ and the portal pandemic have changed collegiate sports forever.
Wilson is realistic about how programs must change to succeed.
You can join me in donating to Marcus’ not-for-profit organization by going to ‘Nurturing Potential International‘. His work in Africa is truly significant.
Head here for ‘Part One’ of our conversation that is more focused on Wilson’s charitable work and his past career at Evansville.

Three more road wins so far in @ValleyHoops as @BradleyUMBB @BelmontMBB & @UIC_MBB capture road wins. Looks like @DrakeBulldogsMB will do so too. #FatherHarry
Well @RacersWBB followed the men's example and swept Iowa in the @ValleyHoops race! Racers are 6-1 & if @BelmontWBB holds on to their Iowa sweep, the Bruins and Racers will be tied for first. What a trip for those two teams! #FatherHarry
After today's action, @EIUWBB is 8-0 in @OVCSports play. 4 teams @usiwbb @TTUWBB @LRTrojans @LindenwoodWBB are tied at 6-2. Six other teams are under .500. Great race to the finish lies ahead. #FatherHarry
Really entertaining game between @BelmontMBB & @UEAthletics_MBB. Under four minutes left in a one point game. Gabriel Pozzato back in the Aces' lineup. Rogers is playing like I've expected. Triples are dropping. It's fun and @kylejpeach bringing it on #ThePlus #FatherHarry
