Haanif Cheatham, a 6-foot-5 guard from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., became Marquette's third official signee on Wednesday morning, according to head coach Steve Wojciechowski. The Pembroke Pines Charter High School player is the only Golden Eagles recruit who does not hail from the state of Wisconsin.

“From the first time I saw Haanif play I have loved his game,” Wojciechowski said in a press release. “He is one of the most versatile guards in the country who we feel can play all of the perimeter positions in college at a high level.

"He has a tremendous feel for the game and owns an advanced skill set at this point in his career for his position. I think his teammates will find him very easy to play with because he is an outstanding playmaker and we couldn’t be more excited to have him join us next season.”

Cheatham is nationally considered a consensus top-100 player for this year's recruiting class. Last season he averaged 26.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 3.0 steals per game, recorded four triple-doubles and was named the Florida Dairy Farmer's Class 6A Player of the Year.

He played AAU with Nike Team Florida and was invited to compete in the Kevin Durant Skills Academy, LeBron James Skills Academy and Nike Global Challenge.
