6'5" guard Marcus Gillespie @marcuslanier23 established himself as a must-watch prospect on the JUCO scene with a standout performance at the Wichita @JucoRecruiting Jamboree. A dynamic playmaker who pairs high-level skill with a relentless motor, he is already drawing interest as he prepares to play a pivotal role for national JUCO powerhouse South Plains College (TX) @SPCTexanMBB this season.

NEWS: Omaha freshman guard Marcus Gillespie plans on entering the transfer portal, he tells @recruitszone .

The 6’4 guard was rated as a three-star prospect in the 2026 class.

Gillespie has a solid, strong frame, can create space and his own shot, & is a quality playmaker.

Three-star SG Marcus Gillespie of @AtlXpress and @OvertimeElite is reclassifying from the 2025 class to 2026, a source tells @247Sports.

Tough scoring guard that just turned 17yrs old. Will be a notable member of this batch of juniors.
