 Here’s a message from Larry Marshall:
The merging of a community is the ability to cross all sectors for its common good . Strangely enough, the common good lies in the strength of children. I believe somewhere in a GREAT BOOK I once read that our duty is to “raise a child in the way it should go, it may stray but NEVER depart ” ! I believe it’s called (THE WRIGHT WAY ) ! Funny how GOD WORKS !
Godspeed!

We here at Larry Marshall Sports LLC are so very proud of our former recruits who have worked hard to get where they are so we want to bring you an update on them. For your reading pleasure please look over our recruits who have gone on to the NBA.
Lance Stephenson
After spending his first four years with the Indiana Pacers, former recruit, Lance Stephenson, 6’5†Guard just signed a three year deal worth $27 million dollars with the Charlotte Hornets (aka Michael Jordan’s team). Here are Lance’s comment about his new team and kudos to his old team.
“Indy, I had a great 4 years. Thank you Larry Bird, the fans, my coaches and teammates for the incredible experience. I will never forget any of you! I now have to look to the next phase of my career and the wonderful opportunity to continue to grow as a player and as a person in Charlotte! I’m excited to play for this franchise and the fans!!#buzzcity “
Alberto Ebanks, a representative of Stephenson, released a statement to The Indianapolis Star, per Candace Buckner:
“Lance is forever grateful for all the love he’s received from Pacers fans. He is especially grateful to his teammates, Frank Vogel, Herb Simon. the Pacers management and, most of all, Larry Bird. While we tried our best to come to the best possible terms for both sides there was not sufficient flexibility in the terms of the contract, particularly the length of the contract. Reports throughout the negotiation process with Indiana have often strayed from the truth but suffice it to say that it was less about the money. Lance will miss the city, the team and the mentor who helped transform him into the dynamic player he has become. He looks forward to making a strong contribution and beginning a new chapter with the Charlotte Hornets.â€
In addition here is a link from a recent article about Stephenson negotiations with Indiana:

Former Tennessee basketball Scotty Hopson is on the move. Hopson played 14 minutes in the first half of Cleveland’s NBA Summer League game on Friday night in Las Vegas and was informed at halftime that he had been traded to the Charlotte Hornets.
Hopson and cash considerations will go to Charlotte in exchange for center Brendan Haywood and the draft rights to forward Dwight Powell, the 45th overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft.
Hopson signed a two-year deal with Cleveland on March 31, 2014 and made $1.35 million last season while appearing in two games for the Cavs, scoring one point and recording a steal and an assist in seven minutes of action. The Kentucky native is scheduled to make $1.45 million this season but the deal is non-guaranteed.
Before signing with Cleveland, Hopson played internationally in Greece (2011-12), Israel (2012-13) and Turkey (2013-14).
Haywood, who missed the entire 2013-14 season due to a stress fracture in his left foot, was awarded to the team on July 14, 2012, off waivers after the Mavericks designated him as their amnesty player. In 61 games played for Charlotte, he averaged 3.5 points and 4.8 rebounds in 19.0 minutes. [http://www.wbir.com/story/sports/2014/07/13/former-vol-scotty-hopson-traded-to-charlotte/12590291/]
Marshon Brooks
Excerpts from Article:
Brooks shot an insane 59 percent overall in the 2014 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas allowing him to put up 11.3 points in only 15.2 minutes per game. He did not force shots or shoot off balance. Brooks just kept his shooting form steady and took what the defense gave him.

Those schools are Rutgers University, Marshall University, University of Tennessee, Providence College, University of North Carolina – Charlotte, Florida State, and Ohio University.

Doing this helps us to determine who may be ready to go into the 2013 NBA Draft. Although the NBA Draft is over 200 days away, preparation is the key for a successful recruit to pass the test and crossover to becoming a professional athlete.
Godspeed and good luck to our recruits for a successful season.
With the challenges that have been facing people all over the world, the global and local economy fears, to Hurricane Sandy that slammed the east coast of the United States, everyone has been finding themselves tested as of late. Times like these test the strength of everyone and Larry Marshall shared his thoughts in regards to that.
“In the mist of the storm is always the true test. Can you find light in the midst of complete darkness? Do you panic or give thanks? God doesn’t want or need unbelievers on his team. This will separate the adults from the kids. Such events create leaders not followers and shows even ones self their true character!” – Larry Marshall
Former Tennessee Volunteer shooting guard Scotty Hopson is set to play Israeli Basketball for the 2012-13 season. Scotty is heading there after a year of playing Greece Basketball for Kolossos Rhodes during the 2011-2012 season.

SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – Former Seton Hall men’s basketball star Jordan Theodore (Englewood, N.J.) signed a contract to play professionally with Antalya BSB of Turkey. The team plays in the Beko Turkish Basketball League, a league that garners some of the top talent in Europe.
Deron Williams of the Brooklyn Nets played in the Beko Turkish League during the NBA lockout, as did former NBA all-star Allen Iverson in 2010-11. Last year, former Villanova standouts Corey Fisher and Scottie Reynolds were teammates for Antalya BSB.
“I’m incredibly proud of Jordan in realizing his dream of becoming a professional basketball player,†said Seton Hall Head Coach Kevin Willard. “Antalya is getting an unquestioned leader and an excellent young point guard with a strong work ethic. We look forward to watching Jordan as his pro career matures.â€
An All-BIG EAST Second Team and All-Met First Team selection, Theodore was one of the most improved players in the BIG EAST Conference last season. A starter in all 34 games for the Pirates, he ranked ninth in the conference with 16.1 points per game, second with 6.6 assists per game and fifth with an 82.4% free-throw shooting percentage.

Theodore recorded five double-doubles last season and completes his collegiate career as one of just four Pirates all-time with over 1,300 career points and 500 career assists.
