Those 2 SEC teams have contacted him, along with Nebraska, Louisville, Miami, Marquette, Temple and Arizona State. We’ll see if others get in the mix in the future.
In the 2019-20 season, Martin appeared in 30 games, starting all 30. He averaged 12.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 steals per contest.
Not a comment but a question:
Adam, what do you see in the transfer market for Mizzou? Last thing we need is another guard so the headline scared me a bit. Are there any guys out there who can fill the void left by Barnett, JPorter, Tre Jackson ect. guys who can play the #4? Next years incoming class is weak with Wilmore (a very raw big) and only 2 scholly’s available so I assume the transfer market is going to be the best bet to find game ready guys. If not there’s going to be a huge cliff in Martin’s program after next season with losses of Mk. Smith, DSmith, Mitchel Smith and Tilmon.
Spin the wheel and choose your letter. May I suggest you pick a R. That way the player can have already HEARD from schools. Great job as a writer. You should be embarrassed by your headline.
Nice “Head”line Adam. Lol
