'12 CA RB Byron Marshall (Oregon Verbal)

[Irish Fam]

Well damn. This was a bit unexpected.

Although, I'm pretty happy with GAIII in our backfield as our speed back.

 

[Irish2015]

Is it possible we dropped him (a la Tommy Schutt)?

I don't see why. There is not a Jarron Jones or Sheldon Day out there at RB to feel good about. Sure Kieth Marshall and Russell are realistic shots but are not the favorites for either

 

[Irish2015]

It could be a numbers problem, or the fact the GA3 is emerging as a star in practice, or we lead in the coaches eyes for one of those players. Something just doesn't add up for him to drop us all of a sudden.

I agree. There's gotta be more to this unknown story.

 

[Irish4Life09]

Maybe the staff told him we don't have room...maybe we have a silent Keith Marshall?
It really sounds like Keith really enjoyed his visit,and we're at or near the top of his list...

 

[Irish Fam]

There's something on 247 if someone wants to give us a summary.

I'm on my phone so I can't post the link.

I already did, see above

IMO, it means GA III is looking pretty good at RB.

We may have another option looming as well.

GAIII's bottom half will transform this offseason.

As my roommate mentioned, watch the Rocket Ismail Irish Connection - he talked about developing his lower body and its importance in the run game. GA needs that.

 

[magogian]

I doubt we said no to him. He is a stud and will be at the college level.

I was thinking along these lines. Most of us were thinking we would take 1 more RB and we will 100% if it's Keith Marshall but maybe they like how things are coming along? Cierre, GAIII, Roberson (maybe he's looking good?), McDaniel then add Mahone. That is not terrible. Dami Ayoola is also still to visit.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Per BGI, ND staff were the ones that told Marshall not to come.

Remaining targets are Keith, Ayoola, and Russell.

Schutt Gate Part II.

wow... that was unexpected... hopefully this will end as it did last time they told a recruit not to come...

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Schutt Gate Part II.

Let's hope not. It's a very encouraging sign when our coaching staff feels good enough about our chances with the remaining elites that they're willing to pass on a Schutt or a B. Marshall. How many football programs can afford to turn guys like that away?

 

[Riddickulous]

If we whiff on Keith Marshall, I will weep tears of sorrow.

 

[Chicago Irish Fan]

Hopefully this means the staff feels real good about Keith Marshall.

i c wut u did thar.

The odds of us getting both K. Marshall and Theus seem much better than getting either of them individually.

Yep that's the way I see it.

Problem is they at most they lose to UF, Auburn, and GT making then 8-4

 

[t3hjc]

That would be 5 losses.

 

[BurningRiver]

That would be 5 losses.

what about...

one meeeellion losses?

A 7-5 finish, especially if one of those losses is ugly, would probably be enough to get Richt fired.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Do'h. Excuse my math, I went to Notre Dame.

 

[IrishLax]

Supposedly this is all to do with academics. Not grades necessarily, but specific credits. Remember him taking language classes this summer to try to get eligible?

Such a flaccid comment.

California RB Byron Marshall drops Notre Dame from consideration.

as Jay would say on to the next one.

...THE ****?!

I ain't all that happy about this. I really liked this kid and he was almost a lock back in August.

 

[GBdomer]

Dont worry he will go to Oregon and put up heisman numbers. i dont get it sometimes. Staff has there reasons so i will trust him. I think it comes down to a academic issue.

It has to be academics (because like you said, he's going to do very well wherever he goes) which is a shame because I think it is strictly credits rather than his intelligence. I really liked this kid, BK. You better make it up to me with a national title or two in the not so distant future. grin:

 

[irishff1014]

I don't think he fit the ducks style but when you have the talent he has tou can probably play any style.
