Three Rivers Community College guard Marquise Carter said Thursday he has verbally committed to the Gonzaga men’s basketball program.

It was no secret Gonzaga’s first priority in recruiting was a guard. The 6-foot-4 Carter, who played point guard while leading Three Rivers (Poplar Bluff, Mo.) to a runner-up finish at the national tournament in Hutchinson, Kan,, was an NJCAA first-team All-American this season and a second-team selection last season. Carter scored 35 points in Three Rivers’ overtime loss to Howard in the NJCAA title game.

Carter is the first commitment of GU’s 2010 class.

I just spoke to Carter and I’ll have a story up in about 45 minutes or so.

Nobody. Looks like the implosion of this program is officially underway.

I've never been a proponent of Capel leaving, but I'm changing my tune now. This is rediculous.

I don't know if a random poster on the internet saying that he "heard" Carter committed is the same as Carter actually committing.

Find it hard to believe that he would cancel his visit to OU and make a commitment to Gonzaga unless someone let him know that things were getting ready to go really, really wrong at OU.

They just updated the page.

Quick Update: This has been confirmed. Marquise Carter has committed and I expect he will compete for immediate playing time next season. Huge pickup for the Zags!!!

Did he cancel his visit? I thought he came in last weekend.

he did state in a recent interview that Gonzaga was the team to beat, maybe today's news just solidified the deal...

The guy who runs the site linked above just messaged me to say they had confirmed it with Carter's coach, FWIW.

Well, there was an update on here that practically had him locked up...to now not even visit and commit to another school is not good. The only other thing that I can think of other that this being related to the resignation of Coach O is that OU has a guy like Daniel West locked up and ready to commit shortly.
