Marcus Wilson – Nurturing Potential

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.

Do Good

Playing the point at @UEAthletics_MBB is @EKUHoops transfer Tayshawn Comer. The @ValleyHoops squad opens its season on Tuesday, but we wanted to get to know Comer now. Here is our conversation. #ValleyRunsDeep #NCAAHoops

Graphic from @NateSilver538. As a 'news watcher' this is one of the most fascinating elections to watch. I don't truly like either candidate, so that makes it less exciting, but as a 'news oriented' person, this is incredible theater.
