Central Connecticut State basketball coach Donyell Marshall celebrated his 43rd birthday a day early by announcing Tuesday that his youngest son, Donyell Marshall, Jr., will attend CCSU in the fall as a “preferred walk-on” with the Blue Devils.

He also added his third signed recruit since being name head coach of the Northeast Conference school on April 6. Chris Williams, a 6-foot-6 swingman and first-team Chicago Catholic League South Division honoree, joins forward Keshaun Hicks and point guard Tyson Batiste in Marshall’s first recruiting class as a head coach.

And Marshall isn’t done yet. It’s possible the Blue Devils could welcome a graduate transfer and a junior college transfer before completing the 2016 recruiting class.

“Going good,” Marshall said Tuesday. “Going good.”

This is great for Donyell and for CCSU! However, this will probably keep CCSU on our schedule for awhile so I hope he does improve them.

Great article that makes me happy for 3 reasons:

1. Plain happy for Donyell. Dude's a true Husky and earned the chance to live his dream
2. Makes me hopeful that CCSU will improve. I've always had a soft spot for them, and -- more importantly -- if they stay on our schedule, it'd be nice if they were a 150-200 ranked team, rather than 250+.
3. Having multiple successful coaches scattered throughout the country seals Calhoun's legacy. If both Donyell & Pikiell succeed, it shines a light back on JC
