The Marquette men’s basketball team has signed 6’8, 295 pounder Davante Gardner from King’s Fork High School in Suffolk, Virginia to a national letter of intent.
According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Gardner averaged 22.2 points, 12.2 rebounds and 2.1 blocked shots as a senior at King’s Fork this past season.
Gardner’s signing increases Marquette’s class to six players, leaving the team one over the NCAA-mandated scholarship limit of 13. The Journal Sentinel story said one of the six will attend a prep school next season.
