Markis McDuffie first arrived at Wichita State a follower.
He was a lanky 17-year-old on a team with All-Americans Fred VanVleet and Ron Baker. That team was full of success.
McDuffie became accustomed to winning. As a sophomore, his team-best scoring and rebounding average catapulted Wichita State to the top of the Missouri Valley Conference. Even still, Gregg Marshall would have described him as a follower.
