Falcon MBB Lands 6th Transfer

Coach Simon teased a sixth signee and had everyone hanging on the wire, and then today it was revealed and it was a good one.

His name is Marcus Hill.  He is a JUCO transfer from Southern Union State Community College in Alabama. He was third-team All-American there last year.  According to JUCO Recruiting, he is the top JUCO transfer coming to the MAC this year. 

He averaged 26 PPG, which was 4th in the nation.  What's interesting is that he took 606 shots. For perspective, in the 18-19 season, Justin Turner took 489.

Even more interesting is that he took only 53 of those from 3FG.  He made 52% of his 2FGs, which is pretty high for a guard.  It's what RayJ Dennis shot from 2FG.  He averaged 4 APG.

He's a good rebounder, too, despite being 6'2".

He's from Chicago and he's the son of a coach.

The interesting thing here is that not only will BG be pushing the ball and give Hill the chance to get to the rim, but also if the offense is in a 4-out with Spurgin in the post, there's a lot of space to drive and kick.

Welcome to the Falcons, Marcus.
