About a week ago, Joe Tipton from On3.com tweeted that Damarius Owens, a Class of 2024 forward, had cut his recruiting list to three schools: Syracuse, Virginia Tech, and of course, because we’re talking about it, Marquette. However, part of the story was that Owens was going to announce his decision during the month of February, and since we were already a week in, I just sat back and waited for announcement day to roll up.
That day was today, and yes, Damarius Owens is now Shaka Smart’s first commitment for the Class of 2024.
