He now has a half-dozen offers, the others from Marshall, Manhattan, Fairfield and LaSalle.<\/p>\n<p>He said colleges are warming up to him on the AAU circuit, where he is playing up at the 16U level with Nova Village out of Columbus, Ohio. He plays on the Under Armour Association circuit.<\/p>\n<p>The long-limbed swingman has shown a knack for finishing at the rim, often on dunks, while handling the ball well for his size.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCoaches see I can play (positions) 1-5 and defend 1-5,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd just them getting to see me live against top players in the country also helps that. The coaches getting to see my work ethic and high motor and defensive play is also what they like.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Martin, who is averaging 10 points per game this summer, thinks his upside potential is what is behind the early offers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have great positional size and a lot of time for my game to grow,\u201d he said. \u201cI think that\u2019s why there rolling in at a fast rate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Martin made the Future 60 invitation-only camp last month at IMG Academy.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Day 1 highlights from UAA session ||| playing up an age group <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PSVRhZD40r\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/PSVRhZD40r<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Brandon Martin Jr. (@brandonmartinn4) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/brandonmartinn4\/status\/1945137665298296935?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">July 15, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">impact winning. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/uanext?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#uanext<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Yd4PeUdTAg\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/Yd4PeUdTAg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Brandon Martin Jr. (@brandonmartinn4) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/brandonmartinn4\/status\/1945125618154455547?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">July 15, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"credits\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">Bill Beckner Jr. is a TribLive reporter covering local sports in Westmoreland County.
