Pardon me for celebrating the state of the Marshall basketball program.
I’m not talking about the recent surge from its three-season abyss. The overall mark of 17-16 was but a steppingstone to where the Thundering Herd wants to be, and the program’s record could even take a step back next winter.
I’m coming from a different angle here. Consider coach Dan D’Antoni’s just-completed (maybe) signing class.
There are three coming to Huntington. The latest catch was Ky’re Allison of Portsmouth, Ohio; Phillip Bledsoe of Wheeling and Jannson Williams of Newnan, Georgia, signed in November.
Allison finished his scholastic career in March at Portsmouth High School, Bledsoe at Wheeling Park High and Williams at Newnan High.
