Basketball runs in his family.

Roy Marble, who died of cancer at the age of 48 in September, is the only player in Iowa history to score more than 2,000 points (2,116).

Devyn Marble, Carlo's oldest brother, was a first-team all-Big Ten selection in 2014 after scoring 1,694 points in four years at Iowa and is now with the NBA's Orlando Magic. Merrick Mackdanz-Marble averaged 6.1 points as a freshman at New Mexico Military at the NJCAA D-I level this past season.

Their youngest sister, Roichelle Marble, is a sophomore at Wisconsin. Royonah Marble played sparingly for Des Moines East's 2011 state-championship team.

Kirkwood claimed the NJCAA Division II national championship this season and finished 31-4 under third-year coach Bryan Petersen.
