Recruiting Update from Sam Webb (including Marshall info)

This is a pretty long and luckily free update from Webb that includes info about Will Lockett and Reagan Williams (two 2015 recruits that are visiting this weekend), 2015 QB recruiting, and how UM helped themselves with Donnie Corley, who is a 2016 WR from Detroit.

The most interesting bit was about Iman Marshall. Scout's main west coast analyst, Greg Biggins, talks at the end of the article about how the visit went as well as anyone could imagine and that the staff were adament about selling UM as a place where Marshall could earn early playing time and as a place that would get him ready for the NFL. Marshall is really close with his dad, which is one of the main reasons why USC has been and still is the favorite to land him, but if any school is going to pull him away from LA, Biggins thinks it would be Michigan (Biggins notes that Marshall seemed a lot more excited about Michigan than Florida State. Marshall visited FSU over the weekend). 

I thought another interesting point the staff made to Marshall is that his physical style will play in the Big Ten much better than in the Pac-12. Officials let a lot more contact go here than on the west coast. Marshall is really physical for a corner, and he doesn't have the natural speed to be a hands-off type of defender, so maybe that will help. More than anything, I thought the Biggins quotes were an interesting insight into what the staff will focus on when recruits visit.

edit: Lorenz is reporting that Harbaugh will have an in-home visit with Marshall on Monday. Scheduling an in-home right after the campus visit makes me think the young man is serious about Michigan.
