    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    Marial Shayok is a 6-foot-6 2014 wing from Blairstown (N.J.) Academy who picked up several offers after playing this past weekend with CIA Bounce at the Boo Williams Nike EYBL event.

    Shayok reportedly more than held his own against 2014 guard Rashad Vaughn.

    Blair coach Joe Mantegna said Minnesota’s Richard Pitino, Rutgers’ Eddie Jordan and La Salle’s Dr. John Giannani called this weekend to offer Shayok.

    Shayok, who averaged 17 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists this past season at Blair already held offers from Boston College, Seton Hall, Villanova, Providence, Kansas State, Georgia, Texas A&M and interest from Illinois, Texas, UConn, Northwestern, Michigan and Duke, among others, Mantegna said.

    “Marial is getting up 1,000 shots a week this spring and is really dedicated to adding strength and mass,” Mantegna said. “In spite of the success he had this year, he is not satisfied and is very dedicated to being a more dominant and versatile guy going forward.”
