The effort he played with every game in his two years with the Tigers will never be forgotten. It's tough to see him go. My favorite Tiger basketball player of my lifetime.

The way he kept us in games this year was just unbelievable. When he got hot, it was some of the most fun basketball I have ever watched.

I know I will never forget Marcus Thornton and all he did for this program.

A great player. Fun to watch and when he was on-he was one of the best players in the country.

Hell averaging 27.5 points a game in the NCAA Tourney is fantastic. I hope he becomes a first round pick- would love to see him in a Hornets Jersey next year.

his maturation was the key to this team. in my opinion. i remember when the tigers lost to ASU in a tourney last year in hawaii, MT acted a fool after the game. i thought he would be trouble, being a juco and all. played kinda selfish last year. he had game last year, but the total effing package this year. the way he takes it to the hole, looking for contact. thanks MT!!!! also, a big thanks to coach johnson!

Great players. Will be missed. I think Tasmin is one of my favorites as well. We get one more year though!
