Rising sophomore guard Mark Watts has established himself in the 2019 class.
University of Detroit Mercy held their annual elite camp last week. It was the first under new head coach Bacari Alexander. Coach Alexander is optimistic for what the future holds at UDM. And while on the job for the past two months, Coach Alexander has devised a strategic, multi-phase step plan organized to the very last detail on how to reach the ambitions he has for the program.
“Well we’re on day seventy-one here,” said Bacari, “we used the first thirty days to get the roster in-order. The second thirty days will be used to get the right staff in here and hopefully we use the last thirty days to get a strength and player development routines established. We got the corner of McNichols and Livernois jumping again. Remember the Titans.”
