2020 Guard Marcus Watson Decommits from Wake Forest

Class of 2020 point guard Marcus Watson has asked for and been granted his release by Wake Forest basketball coach Steve Forbes this afternoon.

Watson, a three star recruit, was originally recruited to Wake by Danny Manning and his staff. On May 2, Watson reaffirmed his commitment to new coach Steve Forbes via his Instagram story, however in the past few weeks things have changed.

Rumors had circulated this week that Watson may not be attending Wake, and today this was confirmed.

Marcus’ decommitment leaves Quadry Adams, who was also recruited by Danny Manning, as the only recruit remaining in the class of 2020. Forward Jaylon Gibson and wing Djimon Bailey decommitted shortly after it was announced that Manning would not be retained as coach.

Wake Forest currently has nine scholarship players committed for next season, leaving the staff with four scholarships still left to fill.

The Deacs are in Georgetown transfer Mac McClung’s (guard) final seven schools, and have also reached out to Indiana forward Justin Smith and ETSU guard Daivien Williamson.

Here is the current roster makeup:

Isaiah Mucius Junior Forward 6-8 195

Jahcobi Neath Sophomore Guard 6-3 200

Tariq Ingraham Sophomore Forward 6-9 250

Ismael Massoud Sophomore Forward 6-8 200
