Texas center Marques Bolden keeps college hoops powerhouses waiting

Posted May 9, 2016
This time last year, the most talked about basketball player from DeSoto (Texas) High School was Duke guard Matt Jones. As a sophomore, he’d been a starter on a Blue Devils squad that had just claimed a national title. Marques Bolden was a rising senior at DeSoto and one of Jones’ former teammates. Last summer, he told me he remembered Jones coming home for a whirlwind victory tour with his old friends. (Fayetteville Observer)
