Despite a rough start, Tates Creek's Marcellus Barksdale is staying positive and confident things will turn around for his team. "We just aren't executing our offense like we should"
Barksdale is considered by many as one of the top prospects in the class of 2011, but noted that he needs to step his play up in order for his team to be successful.
"I really haven't been scoring much so it's hard to get a win when I'm in single digits."
The key to their team success?
" Ryan (Fucci) and I have to just begin to take over in all areasof the game" Barskdale said. ""(We need to) just put the team on our shoulders and get everyone on the same page."
Cellus, as his friends call him, played very well down the stretch of their most recent loss to Warren Central (53-51) in the King of the Bluegrass, but the standout knows he needs to play like that more often.
"I just have to get more aggressive and play like that al game."
Barksdale noted that Xavier, Dayton, New Mexico, Clemson, Iowa, Cleveland St, and Tennessee among others, have shown interest but that he still has no offers to date.
"You can't hide hard work, so hopefully I will receive an offer from one of them before the end of the season."
"At this point, I don't really have a specific list and I'm just open to everyone."
Marcellus will continue to work on his game throughout the high school season and said that he plans on playing with either Indiana Elite, Team Indiana, or Charlott Court this summer to help get him prepared for his senior year.
"I'd like to play with Indiana Elite so I can get more looks and play on a big scene throughout the summer."
For now, Marcellus is focused on getting his team through the tough 11th region gauntlet.
I'll try to keep everyone updated on the progress of Marcellus throughout the season.
