Preseason Preps Basketball Power Rankings: No. 14 Marian Catholic

Share

Marian Catholic

2017-18 record: 26-6, 5-4 East Suburban Catholic

Postseason results: Finished third place in Class 3A.

Players to watch: Senior forward Chris White is a Division I prospect who acts as a double-double threat and rim protector for the Spartans. Junior point guard Ahron Ulis, the younger brother of Chicago Bulls two-way guard Tyler Ulis, is another Division I prospect who started for the Spartans last season. 

Why they're in the power rankings: Ranked for nearly all of last season and finishing third place in Class 3A, head coach Mike Taylor returns two key stars from that successful campaign. Ulis and White are as good of a one-two punch as any in the area as Marian Catholic should be a major factor in the ESCC.

Did you know? Before Taylor took over Marian Catholic in 2003, the program had one 20-win season and one regional title in program history. Taylor has captured six regional titles, three sectional titles and has five 20-win seasons during his time with the Spartans.
