Kid is real.

 

[RyCo1983]

Legit...wasn't there another thread on him though already?

 

[KPENN]

Nope just this one

Legit...wasn't there another thread on him though already?

A few threads involving his name have been around the board. I started one about him vs BS JR and who you guys would take over the other. Kid is real deal.

 

[PLACforever]

He needs to learn how to carry the ball. It looks loose in some of that film.

 

[Irish.Ca]

Good stop and start, quick jukes to the sides, great burst through the hole and take off speed, defenders don't seem to catch him once he's gone.

Keith Marshall will have some recruiting news come out shortly after Signing Day. He's one of the best in 2012.

 

[Irish.Ca]

Maybe its that Kiffin offered him a scholli when he was 5 years old but he turned it down because even 5 year olds know Kiffin is a douche!

 

[D-BOE34]

"Marshall on the counter for 8 yds. 2nd and 2 .... pass complete to Koyack along the sidelines for the first down. Great route by the ND TE. 1st and 10 ... deep ball to Green-Beckham ... WHAT A FANTASTIC GRAB IN TRAFFIC BY DORIAL FOR THE FIRST DOWN!!!! 1st and 10 just outside the red zone. Marshall off tackle to the 12. What speed and shift this kid has! Marshall up the middle on a draw down to the 4. HE JUST MADE THE MLB LOOK LIKE HE FORGOT HIS CLEATS FOR THIS GAME!!! I have to say ND is everything I wish they were not and they make me look like I am a tard!. I LOVE YOU LOU!!!!!"

Game winning TD on a broken play by Crist running to the corner of the end zone.... AGAINST USC !!!

Man I would love to hear that by Mark May on ESPN during a BCS bowl.

We are going to need to get a RB of this caliber. The kid is pretty darn smart as well.

If he picks the Irish he is!

Damn, he looks fast and smooth in those clips. Put the full court press on landing this kid!

 

[MoreTeo]

This kid is amazing. Barry Jr. vs. Marshall......I gotta go with Marshall. He already plays in our type of Offense and man can he burst through the line! Love this kid. Go get him kelly.

I feel the same way...at least based on film...Sanders doesn't have the acceleration that Marshall has.....Keith seems to just shoot off like a rocket and not slow down a bit...where it seems like Sanders...just like his dad, has all kinds of crazy shake and bake moves...but lacks the burst.....top end speed seems pretty even...

Who plays the better competition?

 

[GoIrish41]

why the comparrison. we need two RBs next year, right?

 

[RyCo1983]

why the comparrison. we need two RBs next year, right?

Not sure...both would be unbelievable

 

[MoreTeo]

I don't know that we need two RB's next year but if we do we are not going to get both of these guys. Sanders has Ok. State and Bama out in front by a good margin.
Marshall likes us and seems from the video to be a better fit for our offense. I think his intial burst from a standing position is what makes him separate from Sanders Jr.

I think we go with him and if we get him, we get a 1,000+yds a season back that is a threat to take it to the house anytime he touches it. When was the last time we had that in our offense?

If we need two backs then the other is yet to be determined.

 

[IHateMarkMay]

This kid is sick. He makes everybody look like they are standing still in that junior film. Ridiculous.

I think Darius Walker would be the last back we would've thought could do that. Too bad he left early.

I'm confident that if the passing game opens up that Cierre Wood will have more than a fair shot at cracking 1k.

The point that was trying to be made is this kid is on another level

 

[irishff1014]

This kid sounds like he is really good. How ever i think that we are going to have to fight tooth and nail for him. Alot of schools are going to want him including the cheating tar heels.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Has he shown interest in ND?

 

[RyCo1983]

Well aware of that, just making a comment on the possibility of a 1,000 yarder.

I feel that Marshall is probably going to be one of if not the top rated RB next year.

True, but that is called recruiting. If you want to be the best you have to beat the best, on and off the field. I don't think any of us would have thought we had a chance at Lynch, Tuitt, or Williams this time last year.

 

[irishff1014]

Very true. We are going to have to work for him though. But at least he has the smarts to come here.

People need to start being realistic about recruiting. Comments like that show just how far out into lala land some fans are.
