Btw- Awesome to see bball stepping on someone's throat today when they needed to.
Anyhow, Miami Herald reported that Robert Marve is considering between Michigan, UCLA, Oklahoma, Purdue, Texas Tech and USF. Really? I have not heard that anywhere else. Was highly recruited in HS, but seems like a lot of drama around him. My guess is that they could be name dropping to build hype, I don't know.

Marve
I brought this up a couple of months ago and got burned for even suggesting he might come to UM.
hope he does so all you toolbags out in mgoblog land can complain about it.

Why would he come to
Why would he come to Michigan? Denard and Tate will pick up a year in Rod's system, and we're bringing in Gardner and another dual threat QB. Marve has to sit out this year. Why would Marve want to be part of a 5 way QB battle? Marve is a pro-style QB who has some mobility but isn't an ideal fit for our offense. He isn't coming here.
He actually is pretty mobile
He actually is pretty mobile just not as mobile as Harris.
Because RR stated time and
Because RR stated time and timeagain that he wants as many players as possible at each position to create competition... And the best will standout... It's a good problem to have
It's better to hate to lose, than love to win.
Marve isn't looking to sit on
Marve isn't looking to sit on the bench again. He'll pick a school where he has the best opportunity to start; Purdue and USF would be his two best candidates. Purdue doesn't have much QB depth and skill, and USF's Matt Grothe is a senior. I'm sure Rich Rod would be glad to take Marve, but looking at it from Marve's perspective, he wants to start and his odds look dim if he came to Michigan.
his odds look dim because we
his odds look dim because we have SO much proven talent at the quarterback position right?
please. if RRod wants him and thinks he has a chance to start, i'm all for it.
If we are breaking in another QB in 2010
It's the apocalypse.

Miami coach wouldn't let him
Miami coach wouldn't let him transfer to USF or any in-state school or any ACC school. That is what the big controversy was all about with this kid a while back. He wanted to transfer to USF and the coach at Miami said no.
or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.
Ultimately, I don't think
Ultimately, I don't think Marve will end up coming to Michigan...
...but I don't necessarily think it's because of the competition. Our starting QB (whoever that is) hasn't even taken a snap in college PRACTICE yet. Marve is a talented kid. I don't think he's too intimidated by a couple 17-year-olds who have yet to attend prom.
Really?
Check the Board for 30 seconds before you post! This is a duplicate!!
Marve's Dad...
..has cancer; IIRC, it's prostate cancer. He wants his son to stay close to home; that means USF. That is why Miami coach Randy Shannon was pressured to let up on his transfer restrictions; it would be bad to tell someone he can't play in his hometown in front of his possibly dying dad.
BJ Daniels, who was recruited by RR last year and changed his mind at the last minute, is the heir apparent at QB for now. He actually looks pretty good; I think he could have gotten six or seven wins last year if he had gone to UM.
If Marve, like his HS teammmate Cornelius Gallon, presently enrolled at CMU, fully recovers from his injuries, somebody is getting a really good player. Sadly, though, you don't know if his injuries sustained in his auto accident have hurt him more than he is letting on.
And, of course, you never know how HS talent will translate to the major college level.
