Marcus Dupree

Marcus Dupree is a previous football player he was a great player in his days he belong to America. Dupree was so heavily recruited that Willie Morris wrote a book about his recruiting called The Courting of Marcus Dupree.   When I was young, I would often talk to older football fans in north Texas or Louisiana about the best players they’ve ever seen coming out of high school.

There tended to be plenty of argument about who was the best.  But every adult I talked to as a kid had the same answer as the best they saw that never made it past college: Marcus Dupree. Tonight, a new movie debuts in ESPN’s 30 for 30 series, 30 sports documentaries that have by and large been really, really, really good (if you haven’t seen The U yet, you’re missing an awesome movie).  It’s the story of Marcus Dupree.

Tuesday’s Sports on TV Listings are highlighted by the ESPN 30 for 30 series which will feature the documentary ,”The Best That Never Was” about former Oklahoma running back Marcus Dupree.
