Marquette, Georgetown make the cut for 2021 forward James Graham III

The Marquette Golden Eagles are still in the hunt for one of the top coveted recruits in their own backyard.

James Graham III (Milwaukee, Wisc./Nicolet) revealed his top nine schools on Monday night.

They aren’t the only Big East school in the mix, as the Georgetown Hoyas are also in the mix. Joining them in Graham’s final nine are Auburn, Florida State, Wisconsin, Maryland, Memphis, Michigan State and Vanderbilt.

Graham’s stock recently rose during the coronavirus pandemic. While many felt that he would have really benefited from an AAU season to gain exposure, he still managed to garner attention even with basketball put on hold.
