Marshall chose Memphis over offers from Florida, Indiana, Kansas State, Mississippi State, Tennessee, Auburn and others. 

He shared his plans for college with Scout.com: 

“First and foremost I want to get my degree,” Marshall explained. “After that it is about basketball, and with who Memphis is bringing in, in 2015 and 2016 I really think we will have a chance to win a national championship."
