Old Redford 2019 G Mark "Rocket" Watts was offered by Illinois (Story)

1/20/2018- "If it wasn't for a slow first half where Rocket only had one point he might've scored 40. Nonetheless he managed to score 31 with 30 coming in the second half and brought Old Redford back from a 19 point halftime deficit to nearly knock off undefeated Skyline. Watts can shoot from anywhere on the court and was pulling up nearly from half court in the second half. He was so unstoppable for a stretch there was no answer for him. With more consistency Watts could be the best player in the 2019 class in Michigan." -Kenny Jordan
