Illinois Football Recruiting Thread
I would think this would lower his value. Seems like a risky check to cut if there questions off the field. Hopefully that plays to Illinois advantage along with the relationship from recruiting, his family ties to the university, and Gabe Jacas’ success
I heard heard he was also passed up on the depth chart. This is 100% a kid you take a chance on. He’s a freak athlete and has ties to the school. He also has a younger brother that’s very good. I would expect a lot of guys to transfer out of Michigan
Marshall should be treated the same as Miles McVay. Unproven but high potential targets with various red flags. You take a chance on them as long as they don't cost too much and won't blow up team chemistry. Odds are that some desperate team will offer way more than BB feels comfortable spending and we move on.
A 5th year Trey Pierce is the safer but more costly option if/when the Michigan transfer portal heats up.
The difference is McVay was horrible at Alabama and was over rated in hs. Marshall was a lot better hs recruit and has been better in college career. Marshall has more sacks than Joe Barna. He’s far more proven than McVay.
I forgot to post that but Marshall literally dominated the game on both sides of the ball. McVay was overhyped because in jr high he was like 6’5 350lbs. Throughout hs his ranking kept dropping. Hes also still big and slow. Out of the 3 linemen from east St. Louis that year Henderson was by far the best player.

He's already a big kid. Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but I dont love him tagging Iowa in the tweet of our game day invite.

Make sure his brain is salvageable hehe
Pure conjecture, Lopati might not end up at Michigan. It is unlikely it will be us, but some other school will go after him (Utah, BYU?). Reminder I am no insider, anything but.....is Lopati recruitment dead-dead? Or is there a pulse with Michigan in shambles?
I think Lopati ends up at Utah

The only question I would have is what their NIL is like, but if they have the money he is there.
wasn't Notre Dame after him as well?
Do you think BB will go after Marshall
