Phil Greene already had a bunch of offers and now the shooting guard from Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy picked up another big one from the Big East.

Marquette is the latest school to offer Greene, a 6-foot-2, 175-pound prospect who could play either guard position.

“They want me to come in and be a combo guard, play both positions and score for them,†Greene said of Marquette. “I like the style of play and how they play fast-paced and tough.â€

Marquette isn’t the only new program on Greene’s list. He said Kansas, Florida and South Florida have also started to get involved and since he’s playing well so far this season, Greene thinks more offers could be forthcoming.

“I was excited about it,†Greene said of the new interest. “The coaches have been coming up here and I’ve been playing well so that’s played a role in it. I’m still trying to take my time with it.â€

Arizona State, Nebraska, Oklahoma State, Oregon, St. John’s, UTEP and West Virginia have also offered Greene, who said he is planning visits to both Arizona State and St. John’s and should have them scheduled by next week.

Other visits could also happen because Greene, a three-star prospect by Rivals.com, said he’s planning to take his time with his recruitment.

Considering how close the IMG Academy is to USF, it's a shame we don't get more players out of there. Aren't they known for putting out pretty good hoops players?

I remember reading an article back when Heath was first hired that IMG could be a place he can use to build the program. They have produced plenty of D-1 players over the years.
