Georgetown Prep junior guard Markel Starks yesterday accepted a scholarship offer to play for Georgetown.
"My phone has been ringing like crazy," Little Hoyas Coach Dwayne Bryant said. "Angry coaches. You have no idea."
The 6-foot-1 Starks averaged 14.2 points per game last season. He also took unofficial visits to Maryland, Wake Forest, Georgia and Georgia Tech before taking a trip to Georgetown on Tuesday, Bryant said.
"He just felt that was the place he wanted to be," Bryant said. "He didn't need to drag that out. He felt that was the best place academically and athletically for him to grow as a person. Despite my trying to get him to wait -- not necessarily to think about other things but to think and make sure that was what he wanted -- ultimately it came down to that was what he and his parents felt was the best fit and they decided to do it."
