A 'hard-nosed' guard from the Boston area is Marquette's latest commitment for the 2023 recruiting class

The Marquette men's basketball team keeps stockpiling future talent.

Tre Norman, a 6-foot-3 guard from Worcester Academy in Massachusetts, committed to the Golden Eagles during a video announcement on social media Tuesday.

Norman became the third prospect to commit to MU in the 2023 class, joining Zaide Lowery and Al Amadou. Norman is the highest ranked of the trio at No. 85 in 247Sports composite rankings.

Norman averaged 19.3 points and 7.5 rebounds last season at Worcester Academy, which won the Class AA championship in the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council.

Norman also gained notice by averaging 20 points over four games for the Boston Amateur Basketball Club in July at the EYBL Peach Jam, the championship round of Nike's highly competitive AAU circuit.

"Downhill, tough-nosed guard, I guess," Norman said in describing his game to the Journal Sentinel in July. "I like to have mismatch situations on smaller guards."

MU offered Norman a scholarship in February and he made an official visit to campus in April. He also made official visits to Harvard and Rutgers.

Norman wanted to commit on Sept. 6, the birthday of former Kentucky standout Terrence Clarke. The 19-year-old Clarke, a well-known player from Boston, died in a car accident in April 2021 just a few months before he would have been selected in the NBA draft.

"He did everything he could to help the youth, especially, in the community," Norman told the Journal Sentinel. "As one of those guys who knew him and kind of lived near him, I'm kind of obligated to carry on and do what I can to continue what he was doing."

Lowery, Amadou and Norman can ink national letters of intent in the fall signing period from Nov. 9-16. MU head coach Shaka Smart can't comment on the Golden Eagles' recruits until then.

MU is slated to lose only graduate transfer Zach Wrightsil from next season's team and also has an open scholarship slot. But adding three more players will put the Golden Eagles one scholarship over the NCAA limit of 13 for the 2023-24 season, so a player will need to depart after next season to make room.
