Bibby quote - "Marcus committing to play for the Hornets is a major win for our program. He has shown the ability to compete and excel as a major piece of a Big West program. He will be an extension of my staff, and will be a leader. Offensively, Marcus will be a facilitator and play maker. Defensively, he will be a tenacious disruptive piece to minimize the scoring opportunities for opposing offenses."
