Marcus Thornton to Visit Texas
The 2010 Texas basketball class got a major boost on Friday with the commitment from Cory Joseph, but the finishing touch would be adding another big to the group. The top target appears to be 6-7 forward Marcus Thornton from Atlanta, the reigning Mr. Basketball in the state and a former Clemson commit who was released from his LOI when Oliver Purnell left. After visiting Alabama today, Thornton will head to Austin this weekend to visit with the Texas coaching staff.
