I'm proud to announce that I am officially a Georgetown Hoya! I look forward to playing for Coach Thompson and joining the team.

Derrickson attended last night's Hoya Tip-Off Party at McDonough and is Georgetown's first commitment in the Class of 2015.
He picked Georgetown over Indiana and Maryland, according to Paul VI coach Glen Farello
"He's a stretch 4 that isn't afraid to mix it up around the basket," Farello told SNY.tv. "He's a tough gritty competitor with range out to 23 feet."
Gritty!
Not afraid to mix it up!
Range out to 23 feet!
Kudos to the staff for securing Derrickson's commitment early as his stock is sure to rise next season as he develops even further.
Welcome to the Hilltop, Marcus Derrickson!
Hoya Saxa.
