Good story here from ESPN.com:
Marshall Plumlee can hardly wait to slip on the Size 44, double-extra-long sport coat. It’s considered a family legacy.
His two older brothers wore it when they were seniors at Christ School in Arden, N.C., but Plumlee is still a year from donning the forest green hand-me-down jacket with the school crest stitched on the breast pocket.
Wearing the school blazer is a time-honored senior tradition at the Episcopal church-based boarding school near Asheville.
If a 40-inch sleeve seems long, well, it certainly is. So is Marshall, a 7-foot junior center, and his brothers, 6-9 Miles and 6-11 Mason, who are sophomore and freshman posts, respectively, at Duke University.
“The Plumlee brothers are unique,” said Christ School head coach David Gaines. “But Marshall has his own personality; he has several interests away from basketball that makes him one of the most likable students at our school. He relates to many different kids.”
Marshall, ranked No. 49 in the ESPNU 60, wears many hats.

Last season, as a key reserve on the Greenies’ state championship squad, he averaged only 3.4 points and 3.7 rebounds with season highs of 10 points and 13 boards. But he was playing behind his brother Mason (now at Duke), Lakeem Jackson (South Carolina) and Dee Giger (Harvard).
This year, Marshall’s role will expand much as his game has.
The Greenies, who were 36-2 last season and finished No. 15 in ESPN RISE’s final rankings, should be one of the nation’s premier teams, with the addition of senior Eric Smith (No. 57 point guard), a South Carolina recruit.
Their home court, the 1,000-seat Greenie Dome field house, is a secret weapon. The Greenies are 40-1 in the past three seasons and are urged on by the entire student body painted green, standing throughout the entire game.
“It’s like Duke’s Cameron Indoor Stadium; we think it’s a special place and tough place for opponents,” Gaines said.
Last month, Marshall received an offer from Duke, where he might reunite with his two brothers for at least one season. He’s also considering schools such as Purdue, Notre Dame, Indiana, North Carolina State, Virginia, Florida, Minnesota, Northwestern, LSU and Georgia Tech.
