Michigan offers NC RB Keith Marshall

Submitted by DGDestroys on

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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".

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.

Kid is a stud and he's from my neck of the woods (I don't really talk like that). I'll be rooting for him wherever he goes.

edit: where the hell is my alma mater at in his highlights? We play in the same conference as Millbrook and we were terrible.

Good thing he looks like a gamer because his highlight song is weak as hell.  Time to get him up here and expose him to a little Apollo Brown, The Left and Bronze Nazareth.
