American East Preseason Player of the Year: Marqus Blakely

National Hoops American East Preseason Player of the Year

Marqus Blakely, PF, Senior, Vermont

Suffice it to say that all of the .com recruiting services missed it with this guy. The New Jersey native is not only freaky but one of the toughest players to defend in the Northeast. Blakely, a 6-5, 225-pound forward from New Jersey, averaged 16.1 points, nine rebounds, 2.7 blocks, two steals and shot 61 percent from the floor. He has a bright career ahead of him overseas after his stellar career as a Catamount is finished.
