Marqus Mitrovic Marion on his commitment to Wake Forest

“Ultimately I chose Wake Forest because they made me feel at home,” Marion said to On3. “The whole coaching staff was very nice and welcoming, the same with the team. I also like the level of basketball and style that they play, it reminds me of the European style. The city isn’t too big either and campus is small, which is what I’m used to from being in Denmark.”

What type of player is Wake Forest getting in Marqus Mitrovic Marion, in his own words?

“I would describe my game as a very versatile player,” he says. “I can play one through four, as well as defend one through four. I’m also a very hard worker and a coachable guy, so I’m sure I can develop the right way at Wake.”

Marion has a message for Wake Forest fans.

“Be ready, it’s about to get scary in Winston-Salem!”
