Duke Inks DeSoto’s Marques Bolden for Final Piece of the 2016 Puzzle

Marques Bolden today announced his intentions to attend Duke University and be coached by hall-of-famer Mike Krzyzewski. Bolden, a 6’11 center out of DeSoto High School, will be the final piece to a stud class that includes: Frank Jackson, Jayson Tatum, Jack White, Harry Giles and Javin DeLaurier. Marques should bring both depth, rebounding and low post scoring to a stacked team that should be ranked preseason #1 by most media outlets.

Bolden bolsters a very good front court and gives Duke the power and the depth it lacked this past season. Bolden who goes 6’10 to 6’11 depending on who you believe and weighs in at 250lbs.
