income-tax returns, 71% of them were in real estate. you see, in high school and college, they teach us how to get a job, but at my live events, i take pride in teaching you how not to be dependent on a job and how to take control of your own destiny. >> before going to than's event, i was livi paycheck to paycheck. in fact, on my first deal using than's system, i had nothing in my savings at that point. on that deal, i made over $40,000. fast forward to where i am today -- my net worth has grown astronomically. i am buying and selling multiple properties every month, and the sky's the limit at this point. i absolutely love knowing that i do not have to depend on anyone else for money ever agn. >> we have so many successful students just like marina, who came to one of my events, who just wanted more opportunity and a better life, learned my

that we didn't even know existed, and now our company is getting killer deals. >> now, i know what you might be thinking -- "than, don't you need money to be successful in real estate?" you see, that's one of the biggest misconceptions. in fact, take this house behind me. this is a house i flipped with none of my own money, and i made $38,000 on using a private lender. and one of the things we're gonna teach you at the event is how to find private lenders in your area who are willing to loan you money on real-estate deals that you find. >> after attending this training event, i can tell you i now know exactly where i'm gonna get more money to do more deals. >> announcer: if you're looking to make more money and take control of your personal and financial future, then get ready, because than merrill, the star of a&e's hit tv show "flip this house," one of the most successful real-estate investors in the country and america's number-one real-estate-investing expert has one heck of an opportunity for you. than is hosting a one-of-a-kind free two-hour real-estate wealth-building workshop where

system for getting started flipping homes and buying and holding income properties. at this event, you will learn exactly how you can do this without needing money, credit, or any prior experience. than's system has created thousands of success stories around the country and helped numerous people make money and change their financial futures forever. when you attend this live event, you will discover five untapped and consistent sources of properties than and his students have been buying for significantly under-market value that the general public doesn't know about. you'll also learn about a nationwide source of wealthy cash buyers than and his students flip these properties to. when you regter and attend, you'll also get than merrill's "money resource guide" that shows you the seven best sources of money you can utilize to flip real estate using little or none of your own money or credit. this resource guide addresses the number-one problem most people have, which is how toet the money for your deals, and it's yours, free, when you attend. plus, you'll also get than's vip success package for free, which details out how than finds his deals and buyers and is full

i've flipped in the last two months alone. this is also one of the reasons why we have so many successful students around the country who have done thousands of deals. at the event, we're gonna introduce you to what these five sources are and how you can use them to find a deal for urself very quickly. we're then gonna teach you a strategy of how to put a property under contract and then how to flip or sell that contract to another person. this is a perfect strategy if you just want to dip your toe in the market on a part-time basis and if you don't have a lot of money. in fact, i want to roll a clip of one of my students, terriel, who's used this strategy over and over again. >> hey, than. i just want to thank you for everything you've taught me, man. i learned some killer strategies to get started in real estate without needing any money. in my first year alone, i flipped eight properties, because i learned how to find consistently good deals. in fact, i just wholesaled a deal to a wealthy cash buyer.

i made $30,000 in about four hours of work on one deal. i used to worry about money all the time, but now that burden has been lifted. i'm spending time with friends, family, and life is amazing. anyways, thanks again, than. i couldn't have done it without you, buddy. >> terriel is an amazing guy who had, literally, zero experience before he came to one of my training events. terriel's now working for himself, loving life, and living his dream. one of the reasons terriel is so successful and why we have so many successful students is because we teach you things that make flipping properties so much easier. another technique you're gonna be introduced to at my event is how to find wealthy cash buyers who are currently buying properties in your area. these are wealthy people who are paying cash for properties right in your area and around the country, and many of my students have tapped into this source of buyers and has made it so much easier for them to get started and have success.

just listen to what some of my students have to say. >> i'm happy to say that, since going to the training, we're on our fourth deal, and the most recent deal we closed on, we made over $35,000. >> as a practicing attorney, i was definitely somewhat skeptical at first. however, after having a chance to meet all the guys, i can tell you that they're really a do-to-earth group, unbelievably successful, and it is very refreshing to be learning from guys who are operating at this kind of a level -- at such a high level -- in today's market. >> we actually were able to make $19,000 in profit when all was said and done in our first wholesale deal. >> as a single woman, i was somewhat intimidated by investing in real estate. however, than's event gave me so much confidence to succeed. i now have made $30,000 on my first deal, and i have five other deals in the works. >> folks, right now, the middle class is shrinking in this country at an alarming rate, and there's a huge transfer of wealth taking place between those people who understand the laws of money and how to invest

in real estate and those who don't. a job does not mean you have security. you need to know that, no matter what happens to your job or the economy, that you have the knowledge in place to make money forever in real estate. and nobody can ever take that away from you. just imagine having more time for you, for your family, and having complete control of your financial destiny. that's the gift that i want to give to you. folks, it's scary right now. less than 5% of people who reach age 65 have enough money to retire on or are financially secure. and this is according to the u.s. census bureau. so, if you've ever worried about money, or you're not where you want to be financially right now, then you have to make a change. you have to step outside of ur comfort zone, learn something new that can help you get to

your financial goals and help you live a life you've always dreamed of. the reality is, if you keep doing what you're doing right now, you're gonna have another year next year like you had this year. however, if you want a different year, a better year, more time for your family, more time for yourself, just a better life overall, then you need a specific plan and system to get you there. that's why you have to pick up the phone. make your guaranteed reservation for this educational event and attend so you can better understand this opportunity. put the power in your hands and start taking control of your own life financially. >> shawn and i attended than's event a year ago, and we were pretty much novices when it came to real estate. the way that our business has been growing, i'll be able to quit my regular full-time job within the next 12 months. >> at the event, we will also teach you the second way i flip properties. and that's by fixing the property up and then selling it,

like we do on our tv show. for example, this is one of the 31 properties i'm working on right now. on this property alone, i'm gonna make several times over what the average american makes in a year. just imagine how doing just one deal like this would impact your entire life. in fact, here are the profits i made in the last two months alone, just on properties i've rehabbed. i love this aspect of real estate because you can make even bigger profits, while, at the same time, you're improving neighborhoods. however, it's not as easy as it looks on tv. that's why you have to learn how to do it the right way. you see, a lot people who end up fixing up properties without a system -- they end up spending way too much time working on the houses themselves. at the event, we teach you our hands-off system for rehabbing properties and how to get these properties fixed up without you ever having to swing a hammer or pick up a single paintbrush.

we educate you on the process so you know the steps, who you have doing what, and in what time line. we also teach you exactly how to get the money for these types of projects. in fact, one source we show you is an absolute gold mine. our students have used this source to get millions of dollars for deals they've rehabbed. just listen to some of these stories. >> i've been in construction as a residential home builder and side contractor for over 40 years. i even sit on the board of directors for the national association of home builders. i'm here to tell you that the systems that than, paul, and j.d. have put together are the most extensive and conclusive systems that exist anywhere. they make it so easy to flip houses and make money. >> we're averaging $25,000 profit per deal. our first-year goal was to make $60,000. we made $75,000 in our first year. >> i thought i knew what i was doing.

i've been investing in real estate for 30 years. it's so refreshing to learn from someone that's doing the business at such a high level in today's market. >> if you truly, truly want to change your life, to take control of your own destiny, to be in the driver's seat of your life, do it. do it now. >> i bought five properties. i've wholesaled three of those properties. i've just finished my last -- my first flip, and i'm holding onto one piece of property as a long-term strategy. go ahead. take this step. it's a leap of faith, and you will not look back. it will change your life forever. >> announcer: if you're looking to make more money and take control of your personal and financial future, then get ready, because than merrill, the star of a&e's hit tv show "flip this house," one of the most successful real-estate investors in the country and america's number-one real-estate-investing expert has one heckf an opportunity for you. than is hosting a one-of-a-kind free two-hour real-estate wealth-building workshop where you will learn his three-step

system for getting started flipping homes and buying and holding income properties. at this event, you will learn exactly how you can do this without needing money, credit, or any prior experience. than's system has created thousands of success stories around the country and helped numerous people make money and change their financial futures forever. when you attend this live event, you will discover five untapped and consistent sources of properties than and his students have been buying for significantly under-market value that the general public doesn't know about. you'll also learn about a nationwide source of wealthy cash buyers than and his students flip these properties to. when you register and attend, you'll also get than merrill's "money resource guide" that shows you the seven best sources of money you can utilize to flip real estate using little or none of your own money or credit. this resource guide addresses the number-one problem most people have, which is how to get the money for your deals, and it's yours, free, when you attend. plus, you'll also get than's vip success package for free,

which details out how than finds his deals and buyers and is full of other valuable resources that every real-estate investor needs to be successful. in addition, when you register and attend, you'll also be entered in a drawing where you could win one of than's personal investment properties, worth over $60,000, that is already rehabbed, rented, and producing monthly cash flow. real estate using this system has brought us closer together and put us on the path to financial freedom. >> announcer: don't let this opportunity for you and a guest to attend this powerful live training event in your backyard pass you by. seating is extremely limited, so you must call the number at the bottom of your screen or go online right now to reserve your free tickets. make your guaranteed reservations right now, before it's too late. >> it's important for you to know that, when you attend one of my live training events, you're gonna be learning from someone who is successfully doing this right now in today's market. over the years, i've flipped hundreds of properties. i built a sizeable rental portfolio, and i have 31 deals

going on right now, like the one behind me. i also have a track record for teaching other regular, everyday people how to be successful in real estate. in fact, i have some of the most successful students in the country, who have done thousands of documented deals using my system. i've literally created a road map for you to achieve your financial goals. this event -- it's gonna be a turning point for many of you watching this show right now. but you have to pick up the phone in order to make that change. all you need to do is call the number at the bottom of the screen or go online right now to reserve your two free tickets to my upcoming two-hour educational event. >> than's event gave me the confidence that i needed to succeed. since then, i have completed 15 real-estate deals, and i'm in the current process of completing two more. >> we have a lot of students who had zero real-estate experience who are now flipping multiple

properties a month. however, learning how to flip is only part of what we teach you at the event. the second important step we teach you is how to build long-term wealth with real estate. you see, the key to building true lifelong wealth is to learn how to acquire income-producing properties, like this one right here, that produce monthly checks for you whether you work or not. and if you think about it, no matter what you do for work right now, chances are you wake up, you leave your house, you leave your family, and you trade your time for money. however, there's only so many hours in day that you can work. so, your ability to produce income is capped. just imagine owning real estate that produces money for you every single month, regardless of whether you're at work, on vacation, or asleep in your bed.

this newfound financial freedom is gonna give you peace of mind, it's gonna give you more free time, and it's gonna allow you to give back to those that you care about the most. >> because of the training, i've acquired a few income properties, set up passive monthly income streams, and in the next few months, i will be able to quit my job, all from what i learned. >> now, i know some of you watching at home may have been to other trainings, or you're financially comfortable right now, or you're already in real estate in some shape or fashion. you might be wondering how i can help you. well, over the years, i've helped so many people grow and literally automate what they do by learning our system. take gregg cohen, for example. gregg is a student of mine now doing over 100 deals a year and absolutely crushing it. i've even had students who have attended our training events, who started using our systems, and are now so successful that other people started taking notice, and they now have their

own tv shows and have been featured on shows like "flipping san diego" on a&e and "property wars" on discovery and "house hunters" on hgtv. in fact, here is one of those students. >> than, your system and what you teach is amazing. as you know, i was a realtor before becoming an investor, and i went to your seminar, and it all clicked. i started rehabbing properties and using your systems, and my business took off like wildfire. and as you know, the discovery channel started calling me when they found out what i was doing, and now i'm featured on "property wars." going to your seminar was the best decision i ever made. >> curt is a great guy who's become very successful using our three-step system. and what really blows me away is not only how well curt and our thousands of other students are doing financially, but, more importantly, how proud their spouses and families are of what they've done and what they've accomplished and just how happy they are now. >> i have a business that my wife and children are proud of. we're going into neighborhoods

and being paid to fix up properties. i'm building a legacy for my wife, my children, and my grandchildren, and i'm doing something that i absolutely love. >> at the event -- and this is killer -- we introduce you to three powerful and little-known strategies for investing in real estate passively and earning high rates of return. in fact, one of the those strategies you're gonna be introduced to, you can earn up to 16% to 18% interest on your money, supported by united-states state law and backed by real estate. this is a little-known, passive real-estate-investment vehicle that's been around for over 100 years. we're also gonna show you how to use this strategy and other strategies to flip properties 100% tax-free. these are killer ways to invest in real estate and possibly build a retirement account for you and your family, because your money's gonna be growing so much faster in a tax-free or

tax-deferred environment. you see, working a job and just saving money alone may not get you to your long-term financial and retirement goals, and that's why it's so critical for you to learn these powerful, long-term wealth-building strategies. >> right now, we're working on houses number 14 and 15, and we have number 16 in contract. and on our last four deals, we're averaging $100,000 in profits on each deal. >> after all the closing costs and all the expenses it took to do the rehab, we made approximately $110,000. >> this house behind me -- i got it under contract, and using the strategies that you taught me at your event, i was able to sell that contract, and i made over $9,000. >> we're averaging $25,000 profit per deal. >> i just wholesaled a deal to a wealthy cash buyer. i made $30,000 in about four hours of work on one deal. >> as you're watching at home -- we only have a few seconds left, so pick up the phone and call

the number right now to make your guaranteed reservation. this event is an opportunity many people will jump on in this area and change their lives forever. i really hope that you're one of them. if you want a better year this year, compared to last year, you have to do and learn something different. regardless of your financial situation or your background, you can do this successfully. real estate has changed my life, and i know it can change yours. i hope today is a day that you mark on your calendar, one where you can put a mark of an event where you and your financial future and your life took a giant leap forward. thanks for watching. i look forward to having you at i look forward to having you at the event.

perfectly, and they're so affordable. it's like i'm getting a win/win situation: now i've got jeans that fit me perfectly and i don't have to spend a whole lot of money on 'em, so i couldn't be happier with the price of these jeans. >> you shouldn't have a fear of ordering jeans off tv. um, it's very easy, you don't have to get in your car and go anywhere, you can, um, sit in your pajamas and order 'em, um, and be comfortable. and they come right to your doorstep and, um, it's a very simple process. >> i tell my friends about them all the time, i recommend them to people on the street when they compliment me. i say, "these are the best jeans ever, and you definitely need to get them." >> every woman needs a pair of curve control jeans. >> i love the color of the curve control jeans. they're a dark color, so they're very slimming, as well as the fabric being light, they're very comfortable and, uh, they don't bulk you up-- they actually make you look slim, because of the thinness and the stretch. >> i bought my jeans over the, the tv, i called the 1-800 number, and the ladies that i talked to were very helpful and

they told me the measurements i needed and, um, they said that it would be there at a certain time, and in fact i think they were a couple of days early. >> hi. we just met claire shopping in the store. hi, claire, how are you? >> how are you? >> hi, claire. >> and who are you shopping with today? >> this is my best friend, andrianna. >> with julia: hi, nice to meet you. [laughter] >> well, i see that you're shopping-- are you shopping for anything special? >> um,e're going back to school, so i want to be styling for the first day. >> o.k., and what... and i see that you're wearing these beautiful jeans. >> thanks. >> are you happy with them? >> noto much. >> how come? >> um, actually, they give me a bit of a muffin top, um... >> women: mm-hmm... >> they're really low-rise, so i get a lot of... eek action in the back. [julia laughs] and, um, they're not really my favorite length. they kind of drag in certain shoes. >> katie: well, they're not respecting your curves. you have beautiful curves... >> thank you. >> and these aren't doing the job for you at all-- i mean, they're basically flattening you out, they're making your thighs look a little bit wider. >> i saw that. >> you saw that? o.k. >> andrianna: she sort of has a lumpy look. >> a lumpy look, and

that's because of the waistband: it's really tight, it's not stretching, so it's not allowing for your waist, so then your waist kind of goes over the waistband, and it's giving you a bit of that uni-butt in the back, sorry to say. yeah, just kind of flat, right? and we know you got something going on back there... [laughter] so we want to put you in a pair of jeans that's gonna really respect your curves. >> i could look forward to that. [laughter] >> katie: funny you should say that. you took measurements earlier... >> claire: yeah... we shouldn't discuss those. [laughter] >> you're gonna be amazed at the difference in your measurements after you try these on, so i want you to go into the dressing room right now and try them on, o.k.? >> o.k. >> all right. >> we'll see you in a minute. >> i'll see you again. >> andrianna: i amo excite [women exclaim] [laughter, applause] >> look at you! >> wow... >> katie: you are rockin' those jeans. >> julia: oh, and, ander height? you look taller... >> katie: and so much slimmer. >> ...if possible. yeah, you look amazing. >> aw, thank you, guys. >> what do you think? >> i feel great... awesome.

>> katie: how do they feel different, you know, for you than the other ones? >> i feel thinner, i have my... junk in the trunk back. >> yeah, no uni-butt... [laughter] >> "how you doing?" [laughter] >> yeah, exactly, exactly. >> looks so much smoother. >> yeah, she does. there's no muffin top there anymore. i mean, the great thing about these jeans is whatever you put on with them will look better on you as well, so it just gives you like a style pick-me-up, amps up the style or the fashion quotient of what you're wearing, and your legs look so slim... so slim. >> so we can definitely say i get a "a". >> katie: you got an "a," you got an "a," yeah. >> that's the question i have. you're so into fashion... what do you think about kymaro's curve control jeans? >> i can't believe i ever owned another pair.

every day. >> if i can distract myself with music and art, it helps a lot. >> there are two programs dedicated to helping kids with illness. >> it works with kids with chronic illnesses. they gave them lessons in cooking, art, music or guitar to take their minds off of their illness and focus on something that is more exciting. project art teaches kids not only how to sing, but it got her out of herschel and given her confidence she didn't have before as we'll as she now interacts with kids. it's been very beneficial for her. >> madison is incredibly confident. a bright ray of sunshine in terms of her performance ability. i love that about her. >> when madison isn't seeing a doctor, working on her art or

taking voice lessons, she is volunteering with the kids at tlc daycare, a place near and dear to her heart. >> they have their own personalities and they are just little characters. they are ails cheerful. when i go to the daycare they come running towards me. >> the kids flock to madison because she has an aura about her. they see her as one of them. she just knows how to deal with children very well. >> just 16 years old, madisons wise beyond her years. >> madison is a young icon. she really looks at the full picture. >> i want to teach other kids that life has its ups and downs. my brain tumor is one of my downs, but it's definitely one of my ups because it's definitely made me a more mature person, giving me a different look on life and made me thankful and grateful.

it's the invasion of the freshmen! we're talkg college basketball this week, and it could be a big year for freshmen across the country... there are a lot of newcomers who could have big impacts on the national championship picture... and we'll get you ready for the college hoops season by looking at stories we've done on the names you need to know... that's all coming up next... -- show open) - i, everyone, thanks for joining us. i'm your host charles davis. it's hard to believe that november is already here, and that means college

basketball is starting soon... today, we're going to look ahead to the college hoops season by introducing you to new faces who are ready to take the sport by storm... -- e'll begin in the s-e-c, where kentucky hopes to have reloaded with a monster recruiting class... six players in last year's "rivals.com" top 20 are now in lexington... they include big man dakari (duh-car-ee) johnson and twin guards andrew and aaron harrison aaron harrison: "when you play with someone for so long, you just know what they're going to do. we know when to get each other the ball and when to spread out and give each other some space... andrew harrison: "we both love to win. everything we do is to avoid losi when i'm hot he gives me the ball and vice versa. so, that's all the chemistry you really need." but the biggest catch in john calipari's blockbuster class was forward julius randle... he's already been named the preseason s-e-c player of the year, and is widely considered a top three pick in next summer's n-b-a draft... here's a look back at a feature we ran on julius

last year when he was a high school senior... he's explosive... (nats of dunks) strong... (more dunks)... nearly unstoppable... (more dunks) julius randle may be the most talented player in the 2013 class, and he was primed for a big senior year with plano prestonwood to prove it... but then a freak injury changed things... chris mayberry :26 "in the second game, he came down kinda funny, we just thought it'd be nothing. then the following monday we found out he was having surgery on a broken foot." :34 julius randle 6:28 "i didn't think it was a big deal. i thought it was some pain that would go away, but when i got to the doctor's visit and i found out that it was pretty serious. that i was going to end up needing surgery and it would be a little bit of a recovery, it was very disappointing." 6:43 so, randle was relegated to being a spectator, as he realized his senior season was essentially over... but as he's rehabbed, he has started to look at the injury as a blessing in disguise... julius randle feel like just during this time, i've learned a lot of

patience and it's translating over to me being more patient with people. my love for the game. sometimes you come in and your tired and you don't want to work real hard. it's easy to take days off. now that it's been taken from me i feel like i don't want to take any days off when i come back, i want to cherish it as best i can because you don't get to play the game of basketball for too long." 9:26 when randle is healthy, he's as good as it gets in the high school game... he can break down smaller defenders in the post, knock down jumpers from the outside, and of course explode to the basket dunk) e averaged 21 points per game as a junior, and he was hoping to show an even better all-around game before his injury halted his senior year... julius 03:53 "that was a bummer to me this year, because i was shooting the ball a lot better. my mid range, i felt it was going... a lot better." chris mayberry 1:17 "he can score the ball, distribute, play defense, rebound.

he's really got some unique characteristics. he can play inside and out, but more then all that stuff is his leadership and work ethic is what glued our team together." anyone can see that he's a special player, but one thing people may not know about julius is his involvement in the community. the caterpillar on the back of prestonwood's jerseys represents a charity that the team, especially julius, devotes a lot of time to... chris mayberry: 5:37 "we support childhood cancer, a group called team connor, and he does a lot of stuff with them. and he's a better kid than he is a basketball player, and that's saying a lot. julius. 7:21 "i'm on the junior board with them, doing whatever i can to help them fight childhood cancer. and that's probably the thing that i'm most proud of that i do off the court." when his college days are done, he hopes to continue the fight against childhood cancer as an nba player, and if you ask anyone who's followed julius, they'll tell you he has a very good chance achving dream of being a pro...

chris mayberry 5:05 "i think he can play there right now" 5:17 "obviously from a maturity standpoint, whatever god has in plan for him, whatever college he needs to play, he'll go do that. i don't know how many years th'll be. but the way i've seen him grow in one year, if he can keep doing that, he's going to be super special" julius: 9:44 "that's just my dream as a kid. i didn't really realize that i had the potential or, you know, that i could possibly be in there one day and i really try not to think about it. every day i just try to come in here and work as hard as i can and try to max out my potential. hopefully one day i'm blessed enough to be there." randle would eventually return from his broken foot... lead prestonwood to a state title... and commit to the kentucky wildcats. -- entucky didn't get every blue-chip prospect in america, though... the top player in the 2013 class, andrew wiggins, committed to kansas. he's already been featured on the cover of sports illustrated... and in that issue, the hype surrounding wiggins was compared to the buzz created by previous kansas greats like danny manning and wilt chamberlain.

can he possibly live up to hype like that? scouts say yes, he just might. the consensus favorite to be the top pick in the 2014 nba draft has a lot of skills to make a team better. --andrew wiggins-"i can score in a variety of ways. i can shoot the shot, take it off the dribble. i'm at my best when i'm driving to the basket. i'm a good defender, rebound. i'm a team player" and wiggins isn't the only high-profile freshman arriving in lawrence... fellow newcomers wayne selden and joel embiid (emm-beed) look to have n-b-a potential as well... and local favorite conner frankamp (fran-camp) comes in from wichita with a reputation as a lights-out shooter. conner: i practice everyday, make like 500-600 shots a day and keep working on that. and don't forget about georgia native brannen greene, who is also known as a high volume shooter... and attending kansas has been his dream for quite a while. brannen greene: "the reason i committed was my relationship with coach self. when i went up there i felt like it was home. my dad enjoyed it and growing up that was his favorite school so it was

easy to make that decision and he supported it all the way." they may be young... but both kansas and kentucky are strong contenders to reach the final four... -- e'll take our first break, but we have more freshmen to talk about when we return... plus, our picks for the top players in america... that's next...

-- break one) - igh school athletes dream oplaying in one of the nation's top all star games. every week ,we feature one student athlete who's working to get to the game. here's this week's featured player. marlon humphrey, a standout defensive back and tracstar from hoover, alabama has a simple dream. josh niblett: marlon wants to be the greatest. he has a plan, and he wants to achieve that plan. bobby humphrey: i protect marlon's dreams by being a guiding light for him. knowing marlon, he has drive and the mental attitude. he's going to accomplish and he's going to succeed. marlon: i've always been a hard worker. you're not going to get too far or do anything without a strong will. you have to strive, you have to be determined. coach: he would probably

like to be a guy that played in the nf but also ran in the olympics, which would be pretty special. and i could see that as a dream for him. marlon comes from a family of athletes, and he showed his potential at a young age. dad: as a young player, marlon showed some glimpses of being a pretty good football player. he had that natural instinct. coach: when i first started evaluating marlon, i knew he had a chance to be special. he's not just a runner, he's got great ball skills, great hips. marlon: i think my biggest strengths are: my speed, on the line, i'm a pretty strong guy. a lot of receivers don't just get off me. being a humphrey means having some of the greatest supporters and some of the toughest critics right in the family. coach: i think anytime you're around the humphrey's you can tell there's something pretty special about them because of how close they are to each other, how well they get along. his sister runs the hurdles, his older brother played here, was a very hard worker and great player. i think as he's grown up and seen that, had great examples in front of him, that's just made him want to do that. dad: last thing you wanna do in the humphrey family is to not do well and then come home and be around the dinner table.

they like to push each other. marlon: my brothers and sisters push me, my parents push me, so the pressure was on for me. coach: i think the key to marlon's success is he has a plan. he wakes up every day and says i want to achieve greatness today, i want to do things better than they've ever been done before. -- hile freshmen will get a lot of headlines this year, college basketball has plenty of talented players cong back from last season... marcus smart: i love you guys, i'm a cowboy at heart, and it looks like i'm coming back for my sophomore year. marcus smart sent oklahoma state fans into a frenzy when he decided to come back to stillwater for his sophomore year. with him back, the cowboys have their sights set on a big 12 championship and much more. smart and his teammate, phil forte (for-tay) played their high school ball in the dallas/fort worth area at flower mound marcus. it would be fitting if they returned to texas for a final four appearance at at&t stadium in

arlington... with experience on his side, smart edges oue highly-touted freshmen to sit at number one in this week's top five, which highlights the top players in college basketball... check out the rest of our rankings... -- et's get back to some of the new faces now... and the duke blue devils have another likely lottery pick on their hands in chicago native jabari parker, a young man we met last season... playing for one of the nation's best basketball programs in chicago simeon (sim-ee-on), jabari parker has become a star in the windy city... simeon truly rose to prominence in the 1980's... when the late ben wilson was the top player in america... before he was tragically killed in the fall of 1984, wilson led simeon (sim-ee-on) to its first state championship as a junior, and put the program on the national map... 22 years later, derrick rose was another simeon product who was ranked as the best player in america. rose helped the school capture two more state titles in 2006 and 2007.

now, simeon (sim-ee-on) has won four consecutive state titles, and parker was a key player in all of them... he was named the national freshman, sophomore, and junior of the year in his first three seasons of high school... he said playing for such a successful program was a great honor... jabari: "it's been a blessing. i wouldn't have went there without the tradition, and of course the coach there. that's very important to me. a lot of people that i've looked up to, somebody in chicago that was just like me growing up. now he's in the nba. hopefully, i can follow in his footsteps." all of that success and attention has been a little overwhelming for parker, as he was cover of sports illustrated and labeled the best high school basketball player since lebron james... and after every major program in the country tried to get his services, parker decided to commit to the duke blue devils... t's going to be wonderful. it's just what i imagined growing up, going to my dream school. now i can just focus on basketball. it should l good for me."

besides being a great basketball player and a great student, parker is also a dedicated member of the mormon church... and it was important that all the schools recruiting him knew how important his faith was, including the possibility that he could decide to go on a mission in the near future. whle that hasn't been determined yet, parker will always have time in his life for his religion. "it keeps me grounded. it helps me make good decisions. it shows me what's more important. ll still have my religioin in college. it's something i want to keep on going through." ultimately, though, parker hopes to be the next sion alum to play in pros... "long term, i hope i'll be in the nba. it's my dream as a k. i want to get there. i know it's going to start right now. the little things, step by step." --s time for another break, but we'll talk

about another star freshman and look at our top ten when we return...

-- break two) - ational life group honors life changers... educators who make a difference in the lives of students... this week's life changer of the year nominee is dr. rty crawford of west, texas... the superintendent of the west independent school district will never forget april 17, 2013, when he

was on this football field not for a game, but to help victims of a deadly fertilizer plant explosion... marty crawford: i came up here and ran into our mayor at the corner of spring and highland street up here. at that time, he said the intermediate school is on fire, there's no telling how many we have that have died, it's dark out here, and he looked at me and asked, 'can you set up the football field for triage?" as the town still works to recover, dr. crawford is busy at his job... making sure the students of west get the best education possible... and that can be a challenge considering west lost three of its four campuses... causing west schools to resort to using temporary facilities to make things work. dr. crawford: the one constant, the one thing that's always tried to remain constant and that was to have exceptional schools for kids. i think you'll find that our kids are happy whether they're in a brick and mortar building or on a temporary campus, and that's validation that we have the right compasses of professionals as

educators here at west isd to make sure they have exceptional educational experiences no matter what type of facility they're in. west isd is rebuilding... two new campuses are on track to open late in 2015... but in the meantime, dr. crawford is proud of his staff and his students for making a tough situation as successful as they possibly can... crawford: "if they're happy, if they're having a quality educational experience, i think we're doing our job." congratulations to marty crawford, this week's life changer of the year nominee... to nominate your life changer, go to life changer of the year.com - eading out west now, arizona could be a team to watch... not only do the wildcats get a talented transfer in former kansas commit zach peters, but they also get a high impact freshman... (oh my goodness! aaron gordon! ! ) aaron gordon brings a style that reminds scouts of blake griffin... he's an explosive, high-energy player who

will probably make several highlight shows with his rim-rattling dunks... but he brings more to the game than just dunking... coach: "he makes the game easieror everyone on the floor. from the point guard to everyone else, he gets guys shots, he opens up the floor. he's so versatile i can put him in the post or on the point. he'll create shots and always make the right basketball read." not only was aaron on our show álastá year... he was also on the show six years ago when we met his brother... drew gordon was a star basketball player who started his college career at ucla before finding success at new mexico... drew is now playing overseas, and aaron credits his brother with educating him about everything from basketball to recruiting to handling college life... aaron: "i appreciate drew's experience now mores than i did when i was a kid because i understand better what he's going through. trying to weed through all the hoopla and decide what's genuine.

i wish he could have had the same knowledge that i have now when he was going through it." gordon should be an important factor for arizona as the wildcats could be one of america's top teams... -- efore we look at our top ten, let's not forget the defending national champions... the louisville cardinals did lose a few players from their championship team, but all-american candidate russ smith returns as the team's unquestioned leader. the cardinals should also pair of players we'vem a featured on this show: swingman wayne blackshear and center stephen van treese. the cards return plenty of talent to get back to the final four and defend their title... but our top ten starts with kentucky... after settling for the n-i-t last year, the wildcats' loaded recruiting class has them on top of college basketball to start this season... check out the rest of our top ten...
