Nations's top RB Keith Marshall RT @Truthh4 In class thinking .. my head is spinning .. #decisions

 

[koonja]

We are out of the running for Marshall.

 

[koonja]

I was informed this morning that Raleigh (N.C.) Millbrook running back Keith Marshall had removed the Irish from consideration and notified the coaching staff.

I checked on it with a source close to the situation, and Notre Dame is officially "out" for the 247Sports top running back in the land.

Marshall lists Clemson, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina as his finalists, but this still looks to come down to one team as I'm also told he has already made his college decision - Georgia.

What's Next?: The remaining offered target at running back to add to the commitment of William Mahone is KeiVarae Russell, who looks to have Cal and Washington as the primary competition.

Notre Dame out of the running for five-star player

****

 

[PANDFAN]

well prob what mahone was talking about...Russell is the last shot

 

[Who'saWildManNow]

No real surprise here..

 

[Andy in Sactown]

No surprise at all really. Think the general consensus was that in all likelihood he is going to be a Bulldog.

 

[rtrn2glory]

i'm guessing we start to go hard after dami ayoola...or else we miss out on prolly the last home run hitter left in this class outsie of russell.

 

[koonja]

I don't think we need another RB. Personally, I don't care much for Ayoola. If all we get at RB is Mahone, we'll still have more RBs on the depth chart next year than we have right now.

 

[PANDFAN]

Dami is of the same kind of mold as Mahone...1 big back is good, we just needed a speedster...if we don't get Russell wait till 13

 

[Mr. Larson]

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

Good luck to Keith.

 

[Rocket89]

I am very upset.

 

[cLaRk_JoNeS]

I guess this means Kelly puts in the emergency call to the Diaco Cave and orders the Breakfast Surprise

 

[koonja]

I'm not surprised. What'd we run the ball 4 times on his OV? Not saying that's why he won't come here but that and getting spanked by USC probably wasn't the greatest impression.

 

[Cali_domer]

Never thought he would come. Stay steady and strong Mahone we need you.

 

[ndfi78]

While I'm not surprised he isn't coming, I am surprised he has completely removed us from consideration.

 

[PANDFAN]

While I'm not surprised he isn't coming, I am surprised he has completely removed us from consideration.

yeah me too! unless he is eliminating a team each week then picks between the 2 on the 8th or 9th whenever he was picking

 

[jonesman]

Folks,
Let's not panic. This kid was a long shot for a while. I give him props that he was kind enough to let ND know, so we can move on. I wish him the best in his college career. We have one great RB committed and BK will get us one more.
Thanks Keith and Good Luck!! I wish more of the elite guys had the class of this kind of kid. Wish him well and let him make his decision.

 

[aubeirish]

Send the House!

 

[Riddickulous]

This was inevitable.

Throw the house at Keivarae.

 

[irishpat183]

Of course. Keith doesn't wanna be on a 8-4 team for the next 3 years.

I don't blame him.

I don't blame him.

 

[Rack Em]

ND just felt the Bulldog bite...

 

[ab2cmiller]

ND just felt the Bulldog bite...

Unfortunately it wasn't just the Bulldog Bite, considering we were beat out by Clemson, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.

During KM's entire recruitment, it was almost impossible to tell how much of his interest was sincere cause he was always tweeting about all the schools. I think he did have interest in ND, just maybe not as much as we hoped since we were reading tweets and hoping Darby would influence him.

If we can get one of Davonte Neal or Nelson Agholor I will be happy.

 

[military_irish]

Of course. Keith doesn't wanna be on a 8-4 team for the next 3 years.

I don't blame him.

Then what does he want? This is the last three years for the others he is considering. Not saying Notre Dame is better but the other teams aren't national title contenders every year either.

Also, I know he is not coming to Notre Dame. Never thought he was. I hope he succeeds where ever he goes.

Agholor and Neal are both versatile enough where they could recieve some carries... (Percy Harvin)
