Per Marcus:

Bryan Cupito and MarQueis Gray don’t look far removed from their Gophers football-playing days, but you’ll spot them on the sidelines now as dedicated sports dads.
On the first weekend in June, their sons played on the same court at Shakopee High School a couple of hours apart — and the following weekend they were in the same Adidas tournament in Chicago.

“Basketball is so much time — it’s crazy,” said Cupito, who coaches his sons, Carter and Jack. “We do a lot of traveling.”

The Cupito and Gray boys were among hundreds of players competing last week in the Prep Hoops NHR state AAU tournament in the Twin Cities.

Gray’s twins, MarShawn and MarZell, helped D1 Minnesota 2030 win the 13U championship. Cupito’s oldest son, Carter, won the 14U championship with the Phelps Falcons.


Go Gophers!!
 

Another couple examples of players coming here for college and deciding to live here after.

Especially notable for Gray to return since he had a bunch of years away from the TC with Buffalo and Miami in the NFL.
