'12 NC RB Keith Marshall (Georgia Verbal)

[D-BOE34]

I am in agreement! I really think this kid is going to have ND in the running. Sounds like he has a great head on his shoulders and is looking for, what other recruits have mentioned, what ND can offer. Great Business school, great "family" atmosphere and the chance to play early! With that speed I don't know many teams that wuoldn't get him on the field right away. I'm excited!

Just watched his video. As good of a Junior RB video as I can ever remember seeing. He is very fluid and makes cuts effortlessly. His speed...off the charts. All I can say is, Wow! Very impressive!!! Go get him Kelly and Co.

For some reason, the circumstances remind me of Wayne Lyons.

Marshal's tweet: "talking to my boy Ronald Darby...aka the #1 athlete in the class of 2012... We tryin to make some moves soon"

 

[IrishInFl]

Sounds good. But, it is unfortunate that ND doesn't recruit speed, right?

Nice. Let's hope the ISD (or was it B&G, or II?) article nailed it and they become the trendsetters and cornerstones to a 2012 foundation.

I'm just going to wait and see. Who knows if it's about ND...

 

[JDAtlanta]

Wow!

Wow!

I hope this pans out that way. I would love to read that article. I don't think it was ISD. I have a membership there.

From the start, it sounded like ND was in great shape for Darby. That would be a sweet package deal.

 

[NewEnglandGuy]

Be still my heart.

Long way to go for these 2012 kids even if they "verbal" now.

I will **** a brick if we land Darby and Marshall this early in the cycle. It also makes it imperative that we have a 10 win year this year.

Agreed it all comes down to a great season on the this year. The 4 wins to end last season made our recruiting class

 

[NDPhilly]

We dont know that this is about us. If I remember correctly Marshall reportedly had us and Georgia on top so couldn't this be about Georgia to

Plausibly, but if he goes where Ronald Darby goes, than it's more likely ND,since Darby doesn't have Georgia on his list. At least I hope it's that way.

We'll see what they say after this season. After going through what I did with this recruiting class, I'm not holding anybody to anything, until that fax machine spits a signature.

But this kid has "Spread RB" written all over him. Perfect fit for our system. Shifty, fast, gets lost in the pile....

 

[NDPhilly]

Reminds me of Aaron Brown from class of 2011 except Marshall is probably a little bigger. What position would Darby play He's a little small for corner

 

[rikkitikki08]

What i like about this kid is he is built pretty big for such a down hill runner....the kid is just stupid fast

 

[IrishLax]

Darby wants to play defense. The main reason why our staff focuses on taller corners is because length, closing speed and tackling ability are huge for corners in a zone scheme. I would assume that although our staff would absolutely make exceptions for someone with his athleticism. The type of speed that Darby and Marshall have is a rare commodity.

 

[JDAtlanta]

For us to get both would be awesome. The sooner the better. Kick off the recruiting class greatly.

 

[D-BOE34]

I know the coaches like 6ft plus corners but at 5'11 I think they let Darby slide on in! Give me these 2 and a DGB and I'm done! It's still early so why not think big ay?

 

[beryirish]

I read through the posts but i didn't come across it......is he gonna be at junior day this weekend???????

wishful thinking...would like to pull a Texas and come out with 13 commits from this weekend!!!1

Is it ESPN's crap recruting site or is Keith Marshall seriously not considering Notre Dame? I thought we were towards the top of his list...

ESPN is no longer credible in my books. Biased a-holes.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Any ideas on any of his visit plans?? Would love to get him for the spring game.

247Sports: N.C. running back Keith Marshall planning visits, wants to get to Notre Dame 247Sports: N.C. RB Keith Marshall planning visits

Gotta get him on campus to have a chance.

 

[rtrn2glory]

what's the article have to say bout our chances getting a visit??

 

[beryirish]

I see there is an article on Keith on ISD but it is a premium article. Is anyone able to get a hold of that information and share it with the rest of us?

 

[mgriff]

I think we'll be able to land a premium running back this year because our lack of depth at the position is obvious. The secondary is a similar situation.

And our secondary already got a verbal commitment from Tee Shepard...

Hopefully that means we are getting a bigtime RB too... (Keith Marshall)
