Apparently being recruited as an LB.
Mod edit: Added his name to the title. No need to leave everyone in suspense, as fun as it may be. JGB.

Brother of UW OL Ray Ball. I like it. Marcus is a very solid player to get in on this late in the game. I was expecting someone a little more under the radar.

The kids a baller. Do we get any commitments this weekend? I say Dawson recommits. His twitter is riddled with #team134, #goblue. He has been steadily talking to the majority of incoming class. Looks good.

Good situation
Good situation
Solid prospect with a good frame.
Hard to imagine local guys like DDawson and Ball and Hill not joining this weekend with twenty classmates coaxing them. Possible shutout but the coaches have created an event.
Ideal if we get a couple 2014 kids to build mojo even more.

I don't know much about

I don't know much about Marcus Ball, but this quote from two weeks ago about his committment to the Badgers is interesting:
“I'm done now. I'm loyal. If God hits you and says this is how you feel, why go visit other places. I don't want to be of those guys committed and unloyal.” source
I'll bet the kid's interest is pretty high. He doesn't strike me as the type to just take advantage of a free trip to AA.

Why should he have to stay loyal when their coach just packed up and left?

From Hudl.com
Here's some of the selected film available on Hudl.com
Intermixed in here are some highlights of him at a few positions, and he looks pretty solid at just about anywhere he plays. He seems very quick and athletic and able to get to the ball or ball carrier depending on where he is playing. This would not be a bad pickup.

Ball...

He plays for my high skewl, Westerville South. Seen him play 4-5 times this year. Kid can play just about any position on the field. QB, RB, WR, LB, CB, S...pretty crazy. He is a great athelete. Hoping he goes blue. Wish they would give him a chance at WR.

Sorry...
Sorry...
just trying to interject some humor...crucify me. And yes, Westerville South is one of the top high schools in the united states of America, so I think he possesses all the academic prowess necessary to be successful at UM.
December 14th, 2012 at 7:49 PM |
Hmmm,
Hmmm,
1. Why did you only see 4-5 games of his?
2. Are you serious about WR?
3. Is it called "skewl" in Ohio?
Question #2 is the only real question.

I graduated in 2008, and am now a college graduate. I like to go back and watch the games as often as I can to support my alma mater. And yes, I am 100% dead serious at WR. Kid is a beast, no matter where he lines up. Absolute threat.

Maybe he'll end up at WDE. Obviously 6'3 is different than 6'7 so they're different players - but he also has similar measurements to what Frank Clark was listed at in HS.

This would be a big steal-great athlete-played qb last year and was nasty. switched to receiver when they went to pro style. Can play hoops too. Probably be a DB or LB. I like this. I live in Westerville Ohio where he goes to Westerville South HS and he's for real-Not sure why he's not a 4*
December 15th, 2012 at 1:31 AM |
I agree
I agree
From what I have seen out of him he is definitely 4* material. Central Ohio HS football is no cake walk, especially the cardinal division. He had huge games against some of the best teams in the state. He nearly single handidly carried the team to an upset of the overall number one seed in the playoffs. If WS wouldnt have had to deal with some many late season injuries to key players, we would have made a deep run in the playoffs.

Best Guess List
Best Guess List
23: OG - David Dawson
24: S - Delano Hill
25: LB - Marcus Ball
26: CB - Reon Dawson
27: OL - Kenny Lacy / Dan Skipper / Cameron Hunt
28: RB - Derrick Green
If we're going to take 28, I'd certainly love to see a Steve Breaston/Adrian Arrington type WR on the list, but I'll take this...NO QUESTIONS ASKED.
“True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty.”
Has a pretty nice offer list (ND, Penn State, Pitt). Would be a nice get at this stage
