Oklahoma State hoops target Julius Marble made his long awaited college commitment Sunday, picking the Michigan State Spartans over OSU and Illinois.
Marble, a 6-8, 225 pound power forward from Dallas, is rated as a three-star prospect. Many — myself included — figured OSU was second in the pecking order to Sparty, who, along with Tom Izzo, made a spirited effort to get his commitment over the last few weeks.
Marble got the full-court press from OSU’s staff, too, but MSU was lucky enough to get a visit, which ultimately sealed the deal for him. OSU did not garner a visit, though Mike Boynton made a trip to see him in person.
