While we wait for David Joplin’s announcement on Wednesday morning, Marquette men’s basketball fans got what appears to be a bit of good news on Tuesday afternoon. Corey Rholdon, a sports reporter for the CBS affiliate in the Quad Cities area, reported that Emarion Ellis has committed to play for the Golden Eagles and new head coach Shaka Smart.
A bit of clarification here: You haven’t seen Emarion Ellis’ name on Anonymous Eagle before. When Rholdon tweeted this and I went over to Ellis’ 247 Sports page to check out his ranking, it still had the “Signed With Texas In November 2020” banner across the top.
