Foxes add two new faces

According to GoRedFoxes.com, Chuck Martin and the Marist Red Foxes will welcome forward Rob Johnson and guard Devin Price to the team next fall.
Both players signed letters of intent to play in Poughkeepsie, despite hailing from far regions. The 6-foot-7 Johnson played his high school ball in Georgia while the 6-foot-1 Price will migrate from Los Angeles.
Both players fit into Martin's dribble-drive scheme, but Price is probably the player who will make a more immediate impact. With star guard David Devezin's departure, Marist was missing a backup point guard to R.J. Hall, the player assuming Devezin's starting role. Price averaged eight assists per game while at Edison Prep.
Martin issued his stock quotes to Marist's Sports Information Department.
"We're really excited to have Rob and Devin become a part of our program at Marist," Martin said. "It's going to be exciting to watch their development and our growth as a program."
Martin commented on the versatility in fit for the team's scheme as the major selling points.
Although Martin is renowned for his local recruiting, three recuits are far from local. They come from North Carolina, Georgia, and California.
Martin seems to be changing the look and attitude of the team. Forward Lawrence Williams will leave the program while a host of new faces will enter.
Recruits:
Anell Alexis
Rob Johnson
Devin Price
Sam Prescott
Candon Rusin
