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.
Has a pretty nice offer list
Brother of UW OL Ray Ball. I
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
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
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.
I don't know Marcus Ball but,
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.
Skewl? Hopefully his
Skewl? Hopefully his education is on a little higher level though....
Go Blue!
it's a half joking way
Kids spell things these days. Brian even calls poop "pewp," so chill the fuck out
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.
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.
"Everybody wants to be a hero, so to speak. But it takes everybody." - Charles Woodson
Because...
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.
So he typed "skewl"
So what, get over it.
...confidence is the stain they can't wipe off...
Guy I work with
His played DB against him this year. Ball told him first play of game "I'm going to F you over all night long".
Section 10, Row 45
I should have said
His son played DB against him
Section 10, Row 45
I've heard a lot worse on the
I've heard a lot worse on the football field.... and i'm sure if you miced players up even at the University of Michigan you'ld here a lot worse. People complain about trash talking in basketball lol obviously never played football
So did he? F him over, I
So did he? F him over, I mean?
Given that his brother is a linemen...
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.
All that I know is the he is a
BALLER!
Hope he becomes a blue baller brother.

Ball
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*
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
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.

Has a pretty nice offer list (ND, Penn State, Pitt). Would be a nice get at this stage
