Vince Marrow found this gem later in the recruiting process, just an hour southeast of Youngstown, Ohio.  Marrow and Mark Stoops' connection to the area played a part in MJ's recruitment, as well as his connection to John Calipari. The son of a coach, Devonshire is a tactician with all of the tools to be an impact player in the SEC. [mobile_ad]
