I don’t know. I’ve heard that interest in him has really picked up (he’s still raw but has moved ahead of Aku in the ratings), so I’m not sure what offers he has picked up in the last couple of weeks or so. He plays on the same AAU team as Tramon and LJ Cryer. But I think Aku might be more focused on LSU and UH, so very possible he’s our first target, and we certainly won’t take two centers. I’m beginning to wonder if we told Tyson and Ledee that whoever committed first would get the ship. We really need a pure point guard—one of Shead, Cryer, Beekman, Gaines (GA), or Carr (NC)—and a big man. Ledee would have to sit next year and then probably would be Gorham’s reserve the following season. That trail appears to have gone cold, but we’ll see.
I love me some Catt. Dude has an inspiring story ala Michael Jordan/Anthony Davis
??? The links take you to 247. I dunno.
I believe Catt plays with the Houston Defenders not Houston Hoops.
When he was 14…https://youth1.com/basketball/1398288-2020-tramon-mark-one-of-the-best-guards-in-the-country
I like his game a lot. Great size, length, and ball-handling skills.
He still has one more year to develop even more. Upside! Upside! Upside!
He has some De’Aaron Fox vibes to him.
Nice! One commit and 2 targets. Hopefully Tramon has been polishing his sales pitch for Aku and Peavy.
I like the quickness. Everything else looks solid.
Rivals mentions both Mark and Shead will be elevated to 4-star status in next week’s 2020 ranking update.

We’ve been extremely high on Houston commit Tramon Mark since our initial live viewing in Atlanta. He cracks the Top 50 of the Endless Motor 200 for 2020. Jumbo PG w/nice handle & shotmaking ability from the perimeter has a ton of upside
Mark has phenomenal touch around the boards. The more I watch him the more I want to congratulate Sampson on this pick up.
Once he is gets in the s&c program he is really going to be a beast. If he adds a consistent jump shot he has the potential to be an all American.
Rivals has Mark as the most unheralded recruit at the top 100 camp going on. Feels like he was underrated nationally for awhile.
