OT-ish: Southfield QB Isaiah Marshall commits to Kansas
Southfield (MI) Southfield quarterback Isaiah Marshall committed to Kansas today. He's a 3-star, the #38 quarterback, and #468 overall in the 2024 class.
Marshall made news a few years ago when he was offered by Michigan in the 7th grade, but that's why those early offers are so confusing. He was short at the time, and even though he's now listed at 6'0" and 199 lbs., I wouldn't be surprised if he's 5'10" or 5'11".
It's great for him to get a Power 5 opportunity, though. He also reported offers from Cincinnati, Kentucky, Maryland, Ole Miss, Pitt, and West Virginia.
Meanwhile, the Jadyn Davis sweepstakes continue...

Kansas was respectable in 2022, even though they faded late in the season.
I'll be curious to see if the Jayhawks can approach their 2007 form, especially in the reshuffled Big 12.
Marshall is an intriguing add, for sure.

They did fade late, but I really like Lance Leipold, the head coach there. I think he's going to do a good job. I don't know if they can get back to that 2007 form, but I think he's going to do well enough to propel himself to a bigger job here in the next couple years.
February 2nd, 2023 at 1:23 PM ^
Probably one of, if not the, most underrated coach going right now
February 2nd, 2023 at 1:25 PM ^
Leipold is indirectly responsible for UM getting Clinkscale. Miles fired at KU, Lipold leaves Buffalo for KU, Linquist leave UM for Buffalo and Clinkscale comes to UM.
February 2nd, 2023 at 1:55 PM ^
The Law of Conservation of Coaches tells us that Miles must have replaced Clinkscale at UK

Just a matter of time before he lands at a bigger school.

good for him. always nice to see a kid from the mitten state playing D1 ball somewhere
February 2nd, 2023 at 2:16 PM ^
Even nicer when it's from my old hometown, though I was a Charger c/o 1989!
February 2nd, 2023 at 1:27 PM ^
Why can’t Michigan recruit me?
February 2nd, 2023 at 1:29 PM ^
Nobody likes you.
February 2nd, 2023 at 2:12 PM ^
I have a date tomorrow.
February 2nd, 2023 at 2:24 PM ^
I hope she lives to tell the tale.

Did they ever catch the Scranton Strangler?
February 2nd, 2023 at 1:33 PM ^
And you stink at football.
February 2nd, 2023 at 1:34 PM ^
Pretty fast runner though according to his marathon time
February 2nd, 2023 at 1:40 PM ^
wait... exlax or immodium?
February 2nd, 2023 at 1:52 PM ^
Dwight: What was your mile time?
Toby: About seven.
Dwight: I could beat that on a skateboard.
Toby: Well, that has wheels.
Dwight: Yeah, well, my feet don't. And I could still crush that time.
February 2nd, 2023 at 1:49 PM ^
Goodbye, Toby! It's been nice. Hope you find your paradise!

Sweepstakes meaning... there's new info or just... we sit back knowing nothing? Getting a 5 star QB could do great things to fill out the rest of the class.
February 2nd, 2023 at 2:08 PM ^
Good for him.
February 2nd, 2023 at 2:16 PM ^
Size be damned. This kid was neck-and-neck with Dante Moore back in the PAL days. Still a D1 QB I always thought but he just didn't get to the level that it looked like he was heading towards (size a big factor with that). I wish him the best and to make a name for himself in the new Big 12.
As much as I despise a lot that goes on in and around PAL, the fact that they have now on a consistency started to develop some really high level QBs is encouraging. Marshall, Moore, Bryce Underwood (2025) and keep an eye out for the most recent PAL QB Andrew "Deuce" Knight II; a 2026 out of Sterling Heights Stevenson.
February 2nd, 2023 at 2:26 PM ^
Speaking of Deuce Knight, there's also a kid named Deuce Knight who's a QB in the 2025 class. It's not exactly the most popular name/nickname, and yet there are high level QBs in back-to-back classes called the same thing.
February 2nd, 2023 at 3:51 PM ^
Curious if we miss on Davis, do we try to poach him?
February 2nd, 2023 at 7:29 PM ^
Dont forget Cory CJ Sadler class of 2026 from Cass Tech
