McDowell told Marshall he would pick UM (pre-announcement)
As if the recruitment of Malik McDowell needed anymore "Wait... What?!" moments, TheWolverine released an interview with Lawrence Marshall earlier that included a pretty shocking quote:
"I told him he should go there if he wanted to - I'm happy for him at MSU," Marshall said. That was the school he wanted to go to. But he came to school today and was basically telling me he was going to Michigan. When the letter was on the table and he signed it, I thought he was going to Michigan.
When I first got there this morning he was leaning toward Michigan and telling me he was going to Michigan, so when he announced it, I was shocked."
Wait...WHAT?! I am now trapped in a glass case of emotion. It should be noted that McDowell's LOI is still not in, so who knows where he will end up.

Probably. It would be a pretty weird thing to do, though. Partly because of the nature of the gesture, and partly because both of those guys live hundreds of miles from the state of Michigan.

The more I hear about him, the less I want him near the program. Now, I'm not convinced that's his fault -- it would appear he handled the commitment process well, but the helicopter parents and everything else just seems too much.

Anybody who even asks if we would still take him is an idiot. Do you guys ENJOY being 7-5?
I would take a pile of poop at this point if it could form tackle and/or score touchdowns.

As is apparent with MSU, the stars aren't the only key to the puzzle (As much as it pains me to say that). We can get all the top 10 classes we want and if we don't have the coaches to pull it all together, it's a waste. Hopefully the Borg being gone will change things.
