Rivals is now reporting that Michigan has offered NC RB Keith Marshall...concensus top 5 player in the country next year. I'll post more info as it comes in. There's a thread on him at GBW, and it's fairly positive, but I won't reveal specifics.
(No subject)
HOLY WOW
Now THAT film is impressive. Marshall's film is the BEST I have seen in easily a few years. This kid is a major stud. Check out the film at 1:30, you'd think its Barry Sanders Sr. Mark my words that this kid Marshall will make the NFL and do well.... he has great elusivity combined with the speed and the thick legs. A future star, he is. I hope he is high on us.
BSME '93 - 5 Big Ten football titles with Bo and Mo, NCAA hoops title, Fab Five as senior..... what a run.
i wonder what it would take
to land him. Maybe if we have a great season with a good bowl win we can get him. DG what do you think it will take to land him?
But sir, but sir, BUT NOTHING
A loooot. This kid has
A loooot. This kid has scholarship offers from most of the country. But I certainly think we have a shot with him.

A lot
Auburn offered him a $6 million for 3 years.
Damn, they think they can get
Damn, they think they can get him at under the SEC maximum?
Go Blue!
Don't be silly. Everyone
Don't be silly. Everyone knows there's no salary cap in the SEC.
Better than Bama...
They wanted to put the franchise tag on him. They weren't willing to commit to more than a year with him.

Ha!
This would REALLY be funny if I didn't think it might be true. That said I'm going to pay attention to either the NFL labor issue (who doesn't love to watch millionaires quarrel with billionaires?) or the Albert Pujols contract drama (will he really turn down $225 million because he wants $300 million?). That man sure as shit better not get hurt this season.
Adams Axiom: The major difference between something that might go wrong and something that can not possibly go wrong is that when a thing that can not possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.
Who is gonna get cut?
I heard Auburn is up against the SEC salary cap.
I'm sure he will have
Bama, Georgia, NC, NC State, Miami (FL), whoever the NC will be, and Michigan in his top 10
But sir, but sir, BUT NOTHING
When
you say we have a shot at him,what kind of shot.I'm sure the sec will be opening up thier checkbooks on this one.GO BLUE!!!
Probably the same shot Lloyd
Probably the same shot Lloyd Christmas had with Mary Samsonite.
So, you're saying..
...there's..a....chance...??

1/1000 vs. 1/1 Million
I'd prefer the 1 in a thousand chances to the 1 in a million, naturally.
If you can't get into college,
go to State.
Right now, I'd say slim. But
Right now, I'd say slim. But this kid is going to let his recruitment play out. We could end up figuring prominently into his final group.

Is it true that he is favoring UGA at this time?

Thanks for the tease
Thanks for the tease DGDestroys.... first you say its fairly positive, and now that its slim? That film of him is by far the best film I have seen of a recruit in a long time, and now my hopes are gonna lead to a letdown. Can you divulge a little more on why the thread was positive?

If Barwis couldn't help him
I don't think anyone can
Though hopefully Hoke and Mattison can teach him some actual defense.

Campbell's problem is
Campbell's problem is technique. If Mattison and Hoke can't get him to play low then no one will be able to.
He would help his chances
significantly if he came into camp in the best shape of his life. This after an off-season of also obsessively practicing the technique the coaches drill him in during spring
If Campbell and Washington
If Campbell and Washington can man the nose adequately, Martin could reak havoc at the 3 technique.
Great...
there goes my Pizza Hut lunch buffet plans with Campbell. We were gonna shut it down.
well played.
Enjoy.

Maybe I'm being an overly optimistic homer, but I think we're going to get at least 2 and maybe a handful of 5 stars in this class.
What are you smoking? I
What are you smoking? I think you are being way too optimistic. I don't think we had more than 2 5*s sign in one season with Carr.
edit: Just confirmed, we haven't had more than 2 5*s since 2002 at least (records on Rivals only go back that far)
Not smoking
I'm just wearing maize colored glasses today. If (and I'm not a guru, so maybe my hopes are way off) we land RJS and Diamond, aren't they both possible 5 stars? Then, if we land O'Brien...maybe he's another? I think there are a couple other very high ratings guy that have us (realistically) in their top choices.
RJS and O'Brien...probably
RJS and O'Brien...probably not. Diamond...maybe, but probably not.

RJS

Jordan Diamond will be in the
Jordan Diamond will be in the top 100. IMO, he will most likely end up somewhere around 50 or so. That could be good enough for 5 stars on Scout, but not for Rivals which generally awards fewer five stars.
By the way...8 teams had 2 or
By the way...8 teams had 2 or more 5 stars this year. Three had more than 2 (including Clemson...Clemson???...with 4). Given that I expect a top ten finish next year, I'm going to hold onto the my optimism...phantom negs be damned!

Hi, overly optimistic homer.
Hi, overly optimistic homer.
5-star guys with high academics
seem to be initially interested in Michigan. Which is a good thing. Maybe that's why people seem to gravitate to the possibility that these type of athletes have a good chance of ending up at Michigan.
I'm gonna go grab another beer and see if anyone throws out a "book it".

just kidding it will take a lot to get this kid

Frost, Hart
We had two committed last year
Really?
Really? I didn't know that Frost was every committed. And Hart...yeah...he wasn't at all wishy-washy. Never changed his mind, moved dates, played games...In retrospect, it doesn't seem like Hart was coming here. He even said (when he was committed) that he didn't care about a coaching change because he could play in any system. Hopefully, we don't have as much drama in future recruiting, but I can't imagine that to be the case.
Frost was definitely
Frost was definitely committed up until the last minute.
Does he have any connections
Does he have any connections to schools that might give them the edge in his recruitment?
