Marcus Rush to Pull the Trigger for Michigan?

DE Marcus Rush's coach may have let the cat out of the bag in an interview with the Winston-Salem Journal this morning. When asked to speak about one of his rising Junior prospects, Coach John Rodenberg said:

"The one thing he's got is every day in practice, he's going against a kid who's going to sign with Michigan, and the other (defensive tackle) is only a junior who already has been offered by N.C. State," Rodenberg said. The senior is Marcus Rush, the junior is Jesse Hayes. "Marcus hasn't committed to Michigan," Rodenberg said. "He's either going to commit to Michigan, Virginia or Michigan State. Jesse will probably get offers from every school in the country by next year."

That definitely seems like he let the cat out of the bag. That's definitely a good thing IMHE.

but the cat might end up a Sparty or a Cavalier just as easily as a Wolverine, according to what the coach said.

That may be, but I think the coach was just trying to save his ass by saying that.

Rush is not the type of player you make room for if you have a lot of needs and a couple guys already committed at the position. I would be willing to bet a small amount of money (I'm poor) that he doesn't pick UM.

If Rush had his druthers he would commit to UM, however, it doesn't seem as if UM has a spot for him anymore with Paskorz, Wilkens and Kinard in the bag. UM might be trying to drag out his commitment just in case another scholarship opens up. Personally, I hope he doesn't b/c we need help at other positions (i.e. DT).

he visited recently and word was that we weren't ready to take his committment b/c others may have taken his spot. it will be interesting to see how this plays out. i hope it isn't another holmes o. situation.

I love how rumors can really get going about things that just never happened..

On an aside - when are you going to return to GS with some MFB content? Bring it!

This is Michigan.

This kid better be pretty damn good because it is apparent that he has caused Onwukaife to go to FSU and possibly Rush to be slow played. Personally, I'm not buying into him and Kinnard right now.

That being said, it is what it is.

buying into Paskorz and Kinnard right now? Any concrete information, or are you more upset we let others go?

I went and watched 5 games of the Liberty Leopards last season .. With Fitz Toussaint ,Isaiah Bell , and Kinnard ... and IMO Kinnard is very capable of becoming a very good player in college ... He is very athletic and has a big frame to add weight

I think the only way he comes is the same thing that was told to Onwukaife, he will have to move to linebacker.

He is a linebacker. Onwukaife was told that he would have to move to INSIDE linebacker, which made the difference. Rush is not an inside linebacker, so he'll either play quick or go somewhere else.
