Iman Marshall takes pic with "Chuck"
Originally saw this on 247 so wasn't able to post. Found it on another site, not sure if it will get deleted or not by the Mods but here it is.

Not too confident about the Weber part but the pic is exciting to see.

Agreed. My purchase of Hokeland.com in 2011 blew up in my face.
Sad panda.

SAAANNNTTTAAA!!!! I know him!

That would be Awesome with a capital A. He is a serious dude and I htink would make a great coach and motivator
January 20th, 2015 at 10:17 AM ^
With the way salaries have exploded the prior decade I am curious how many star players will ever get into coaching. It is one thing if you are Mike Hart and had 3 years in the league at a lower salary but these guys who have been around for 10ish years and at the top of the profession - I wonder how many will bother starting over for $200K a year to be a position coach. You'd have to truly love the sport and be extremeley passionate about it. It was different in Harbaugh's time, I wonder what his max annual salary was ... and coaching was all he knew growing up so was in his blood.
It would be an interesting case study to see how many "star ex NFL players" ever got into coaching withing the past 10 years. I thought a guy like Chris Spielman who played in the 90s (when salaries were very good but nothing like it is now) was a natural for a coach but he never did it.

Chuck and Tommy B.???
January 20th, 2015 at 9:15 AM ^
I would just like to say that I love the name of that blog. Did it just come into existence recently, or did another blog change its name?
January 20th, 2015 at 9:17 AM ^
Marshall looks good in Blue!
January 20th, 2015 at 9:24 AM ^
January 20th, 2015 at 9:36 AM ^
until he's won the Heisman, graduated from Michigan and is playing in the NFL.
January 20th, 2015 at 9:44 AM ^
and wins a national title
January 20th, 2015 at 9:39 AM ^
That's a good commercial.
January 20th, 2015 at 9:42 AM ^
Man as a HS kid doing this that must've been awesome!. Wearing a jersey that you got from the equipment manager, and the posing next to a famous picture of CW with the rose in his mouth with said jersey. Man that has to be really compelling. I bet he's loving this trip!
January 20th, 2015 at 9:57 AM ^
You should be much more confident about getting Weber than Marshall.
Michigan's only competition for Weber is OSU, and our new RB coach—Wheatley—was the first to extend an offer to Weber, when Tyrone was at Syracuse. Given Weber's long-standing desire to play for Michigan, it would not be a huge upset if Mike ended up back here.
By contrast, Michigan has to compete with USC, UCLA, Notre Dame, Oregon, Florida State, and LSU for Marshall.
January 20th, 2015 at 10:03 AM ^
Right, a very uphill battle indeed. I'm not sure how hard it was to convince a HS kid to extend his vacation by 2 days, either. The pedigree of some of our recruiters seems to make this interesting, at least. Realistically I'm sure this is like the rest of his trips and he jsut has to sit down and think of who he was most comfortable with. As a fan though the thought of having Marshall and Peppers is very exciting.

January 20th, 2015 at 11:18 AM ^
I'm as big of a pessimist as anybody here, and I think we'll end up with Weber. I'd be very pleasantly shocked if we got Marshall—that would be an insane recruiting coup for Harbaugh & Co., considering how little time they've got to recruit as a staff.

At Michigan before these kids were born.
January 20th, 2015 at 10:30 AM ^
Why does that suck?
January 20th, 2015 at 10:51 AM ^
Shaun Alexander went there. Players like Peppers wanting to go to Michigan because they dream to be the next Charles Woodson is only going to last so long.
They're going to start wanting to be the next Patrick Peterson, Earl Thomas etc..

And is a future HoFer as well. Shaun Alexander on the other hand had a few good seasons because he ran behind another former M-product, Steve Hutchinson, then flamed out when Hutch left. There's that whole Heisman thing too.
I think there's at least another 5-10 years of hyping up Woodson unless he comes back here to coach. And that's a distinct possibility if he wants a career in coaching.
January 20th, 2015 at 2:28 PM ^
He had 5 straight seasons of at least 1,100 yds, and double digit TDs culminating in 1880 yds, 27 tds, and MVP in 2005. He didn't flame out, he broke down physically when he turned 30 like 90% of NFL running backs.
January 20th, 2015 at 10:46 AM ^
Yes i was thinking about this too. We are lucky Brady and Woodson have lasted so long in the NFL, especially Woodson. QBs can play into their mid 30s+ but most field players go downhill fast even in their early 30s. We need another generation of high level NFL success stories.
I do lilke how we have a "thing" with #1 and #2 jerseys though. It's a decent carrot for those 2 positions.

This kid will be extremely tough to pry away from the West Coast, but him extending his visit is a good starting point. Just getting him on campus and getting top recruits to seriously consider Michigan again does nothing but good things for the program's image.
A secondary with Marshall and Peppers locking down both sides of the field, not to mention with guys like J. Lewis, would be a nightmare for any WR to go up against.
January 20th, 2015 at 1:32 PM ^
If we can snag him, the thought of him and Jabrill together in the same defensive backfield might prompt more Urban "heart problems." Not optimistic but the fact that he's even giving us a look this late in the game bodes well for the future.
