Nigel James Jr., a four-star in the class of 2025, has committed to Marquette, he announced Tuesday.
The 6-foot point guard out of Expressions Elite AAU and high school powerhouse Long Island Lutheran chose the Golden Eagles over Rutgers and Georgia Tech.
“[It’s a] great program [with] great coaches,” he previously told ZAGSBLOG. “I’ve talked to coach Shaka [Smart], the head coach a lot. [I] talk to him almost every day. And coach Cody [Hatt] too, [I] talk to him almost every day. [I have] great relationships with them, great people. And I love the school. It’s a great school.”
In terms of play style, James is a guard of all service who will do whatever it takes to win.
“[I’m] a winner, someone that’s going to play hard all the time [and] that’s here for their team,” he said during his commitment. “[I’m] someone that’s going to push everybody, and someone that’s a winner.”
