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.

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 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.

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.

1. Why did you only see 4-5 games of his?

2. Are you serious about WR?

3. Is it called "skewl" in Ohio?

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.

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.
