Recruiting analyst and basketball camp conductor Van Coleman says the slender, 6-foot-5 Marble is a legitimate big-time prospect. “Right now he’s a Top 150-Top 175 type of kid,” Coleman said. “He’s a good athlete, though not at his dad’s level. He really understands how to play the game. That is a big-time player.” He makes total sense to be an Iowa recruit, said Coleman, because “He can shoot it, he fits what they do, he’s a legacy, and he upgrades them athletically. “I think they like him and Ben Brust (a 6-2 guard from Mundelein, Ill.).” Like any other dad, Marble Sr. can tick off the virtues of his son. “He’s 6-6 and he’s 16,” he said. “He could be 6-8 or 6-9, and he can play the 1 (point guard, 2 (shooting guard) or 3 (small forward). He doesn’t have an uncomfortable place on the court. I had some uncomfortable places. “I’ve always told him to be able to do everything. You can consider yourself a good player when the coach doesn’t take you out of a game for something you can’t do.”[/url]Cedar Rapids Gazette (06/17/09):  Iowa Offers Roy Marble, Jr. a Scholarship...Rivals (06/11/09): Marble Junior holds his own at open gym at State....Rivals (06/18/09): Marble, Jr. Gets Iowa Offer  ************* Scout.com Profile...Rivals.com Profile...ESPN Profile writes:
Evaluation <!-- FSP instance --> December, 2007: Another player with great blood lines as his father Roy Sr. was a McDonald's All-American in 1985 and the son seems to have got some of the same juice in his blood. Roy Jr. is a very athletic slasher capable of some highlight dunks and spectacular ESPN highlight type plays. His athletic ability is what first catches your eye but don't miss the solid skill package, too. He's a good off the dribble shooter to 15 feet and he has a solid handle. As his jumper and ball skills improve so will his national ranking. He's got all the tools.
