Marshall helped the Greenies win their second straight North Carolina basketball state championship, as Christ School beat Ravenscroft 62–54 in the state championship game.[5]

  • Senior year: As a senior, Marshall's role expanded even more, as he became the face of Christ School basketball. During Marshall's senior campaign he averaged 11.5 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks per game.[8] He helped lead the Greenies to their fourth consecutive state championship and they finished the season at 32–5 after beating Charlotte Christian in the state championship for the second year in a row.[9]

Marshall Plumlee decided to follow in his brothers' footsteps and committed to play basketball at Duke University on July 11, 2010.[12] He chose Duke over Florida, Michigan, Indiana, and Notre Dame.[13]

Marshall was ranked highly by every major recruiting website; ESPN ranked him as the #36 player in the country,[14] author Art Chansky called him a borderline top 50 prospect in Duke – Carolina – the Blue Blood Rivalry, the Master Collection,[15] while Scout.com ranked him as the #68 player in the country, and Rivals.com ranked him as the #79 player in the country.[13][16]

Marshall was a part of a five-player recruiting class for Duke in 2011, which also included Austin Rivers, Alex Murphy, Quinn Cook, and Michael Gbinije. Duke's class was the second-best recruiting class in 2011, according to ESPNU.[17]

College career

Marshall Plumlee red-shirted his freshman year at Duke (2011-2012).[18] His sophomore year (2012-2013) he was limited in his play by a stress fracture in his foot.[18] In Marshall's junior year he saw limited action, playing 8.5 minutes per game in 30 contests.[18] By his senior year, Marshall had developed into a steady inside defender, used to spell freshman phenom Jahlil Okafor and contributing to Duke's national championship victory over Wisconsin.[18] For his final season at Duke as a graduate student, Marshall will serve as a team captain along with Amile Jefferson and Matt Jones.[19]

Plumlee has taken a commission into the US Army.[20]

Family

Marshall grew up with brothers Miles and Mason, and they reunited during the 2011–12 basketball season at Duke University; they also have a sister named Madeleine, who plays volleyball at the University of Notre Dame. They were only the third trio of brothers to play on the same college basketball team at the same time.

His parents are Perky (a former Tennessee Tech basketball player) and Leslie Plumlee (a former Purdue women's basketball player who set the school single-game rebound record with 25).[23][24][25] The two met at a basketball camp during the summer of 1979.[26] His grandfather Albert "Bud" Schultz played basketball at Michigan Tech (1944), his uncle William Schultz played basketball at Wisconsin-Eau Claire (1971–72), and his uncle Chad Schultz played basketball at Wisconsin-Oshkosh (1983–86).[27]
