Delete the sentence in "recruiting" section about Morant being recruited by the USC Trojans. The cited source only discusses his recruitment by South Carolina, which is already stated in the article. Thirdeyelid123 (talk) 01:58, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the statment "on March 21 with 19 points, 16 assists, and 12 rebounds in a 83-64 win over #5 ranked Marquette" is innacurate. Marquette was the #5 seed in the tournament and not ranked #5 in college basketball. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dlee1964 (talk • contribs) 13:52, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Combining Sections

Should the "Legal Issues" section be moved to Controversies? SacramentoProud (talk) 21:35, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In the section titled 'Controversies', there is a typo in the 3rd line of the second paragraph, which states: '"That's one hundred percent a gun"m', with the 'm' following the quote needing to be removed. Trityme (talk) 03:19, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
