"We've talked a lot since his trip here," Marshall added. "I've talked with his mom and his grandmother a lot, just asking about what the climate's like, what the fans are like. The diversity part of it is getting much better. Coming from Seattle, it's so gentrified. It's a different animal here. But when you're an athlete and people see what you've done on the court, you're a little immune to the race relations and the diversity, as a UConn player. It shields us from a lot. But also with that comes a huge responsibility to know that, like (Sunday), you are looked up to. You're a role model, even at 18, 19 years old. I think Jaylin will be able to handle that. He's a terrific player, he's a terrific student, which is big."
