Marquette men’s basketball missed the cut on a top-50 recruit for the second time in eight days, as 2019 guard Mark “Rocket” Watts announced his final eight schools and did not include Marquette.
The 6-foot-2 guard narrowed his list to UConn, Florida State, Louisville, Michigan, Michigan State, Missouri, Oregon and Xavier.
247Sports ranks Watts 38th in the class of 2019 and the top player in Michigan.
After Marquette went more than a decade without a player from Michigan, head coach Steve Wojciechowski has prioritized the state in his four-year tenure.
