Marlon Barnes Jr. brings two-way upside and Big Ten-tested pedigree to Evansville
Barnes arrives at Evansville as a 6-foot-7 forward with a three-star pedigree, ranked among Ohio’s top recruits out of Brush High School, where he averaged 13.1 points and 5.0 rebounds as a senior. He flashed real upside at Pitt as a redshirt freshman before transferring, and his early Evansville numbers show a young wing still finding his footing. The appeal: size, athleticism, and enough scoring touch to project as a versatile matchup piece if his efficiency and consistency keep rising.
