Awesome news.
Absolutely love his overall game and approach to the game as well. Will be a force at Georgetown and has the look of a future pro written all over him.
Fantastic start to the 2015 class.

Indiana wanted this kid so bad, and we got him. Really good stuff.

NICE. Watching videos and reading up on this kid, he's probably a big bodied small forward in college. I love these big dudes we're getting who can shoot it. Lots of interchangeable pieces in the front court!
One stat that jumped out that I read is he shot 85 percent from the FT line as a soph. That's outstanding even for an NBA player and suggests he will be a really good shooter.

JT III said he likes to recruit players not positions. Great start in 2015 to go with a solid 2014 class. Love the idea of players that play inside or out.

Josh Stirn @josh_Stirn 7 Oct 2015 F Marcus Derrickson is trending back up. His knee is healthy now and he's lost 25 pounds while appearing to grow an inch or two. Stud. Trending back up. Just like our program. We could make some serious tournament runs in the next few years.

Proud of him. #hoyasaxa #hoyanation I really love the way our recruiting is going right now. These recruits who have committed to the Hoyas appear to really know what the team is about, they appear to be developing the sense of family our program prides itself on already. These tweets where they are excited for each other and the prospect of playing on The Hilltop are awesome!!!!!!

Just three years ago we were getting commitments from Brandon Bolden types.....now, its top 50 kids who can't wait to throw on the uniform. Thank you Otto Porter!! I honestly don't know much about Derrickson and am not sure who to compare him to. Reminds a bit of Nova's Pinkston, a bit of Othella down low (with a much better handle), perhaps Draymond Green....any of these names resonate with the recruiting gurus?

I’ve said Draymond before… Their games are similiar but mainly I like the Draymond comparison because I always thought of Derrickson as the type of kid that’s going to go somewhere put up across the board stats and win win win just like Draymond.
Rdf mentioned Corliss Williamson when he watched him, but thought Derrickson had a better jumper at this stage.. Either or would be great
