Marfo will be a hot commodity this offseason as he led the country in rebounding with 13.3 boards per game. He's a big body, and for a team that finished 358th in the country in rebounds like Boston College, would be a valuable asset.
This would not be Marfo's first interaction with the Eagles. During his initial recruitment in 2015, he had the Eagles in his final grouping before selecting George Washington. It was a disappointing miss for the Eagles, as Marfo was poached from Worcester Academy, a school in BC's backyard.
He spent his freshman year at George Washington where he averaged 2.7 points per game. At the end of the season he chose to transfer to Quinnipiac, sitting out his sophomore year and choosing to redshirt. In his redshirt sophomore year he improved improved, averaging 5.4 points and 7.5 rebounds, before exploding in 2019-20 with his D1-leading rebound total as well as 10.2 points per game.
The competition to land Marfo is extensive. According to the report by Evans, he has also been in contact with Texas Tech, Xavier, Nebraska, Texas A&M, Arkansas, San Diego State, Arizona State, Oklahoma State, St John’s, Penn State, Wichita State, Boston College and Virginia Tech.
