Ben Marcus

With a few notable exceptions, walk-ons are the asterisks of college basketball. They know they are not going to play much, but just getting to be a part of the team means a lot to them. If they get in a few  games, they can at least say, "I played on a D1 team." Ben Marcus had a nice high school career and probably could have played a lot at a lower level. Unfortunately, he is at that in-between size where teams usually have a lot of players. I do remember a couple of years when we  got short-handed due to injuries when walk-ons played a significant role in the season, so it does happen.
