Wichita State men's basketball recruit Guy Ntang died Monday night during a pickup game, hours after affirming his desire to play for new coach Gregg Marshall.

Ntang, 19 and a native of Cameroon, "was on the court, away from the action, when he apparently lost consciousness and fell backward," according to a news release from the New Hampton School in New Hampton, N.H. Ntang was taken by ambulance to a hospital in Plymouth, N.H., where he was pronounced dead.

Brandt said that Marshall, who visited with Ntang in the afternoon, was watching from the stands in the Smith Gymnasium on the campus of the New Hampton School.

If ever there was a time when young people should be reminded of their mortality and lack of invincibility it should be right now.

Very sad story.
