'14 MI DE Lawrence Marshall (Michigan Verbal)

Not to... , But seeing him compete in person I was disappointed at how unrefined his pass rush moves were, and in primetime got stonewalled by an 8th Grader (Imani Mason 6'3 275, My own player), thats never a good sign.

everything I've read has said he's pretty raw with a ton of upside. Hopefully he lives up to his potential.

He has packed on some nice weight though, he looks really good. Almost like a budding Vern Gholston

He just needs some more higher level coaching and he will be fine on the next level.

I don't trust ESPN myself. I use the 247 composite rankings because they combine all 4 sites. Gives a much better snapshot. I'm just saying, it isn't just ESPN who has Marshall up high. Scout has him 89th overall.

The composite rankings are the best measure.

With ESPN, it's not just Marshall. Look at last year's list and this year's list. In total, Michigan has 12 guys ranked between 100 and 150 (6 last year and 6 this year). It's like they're stacking them in that range for quantity in the ESPN 150 as opposed to quality. I call it the TomH effect.
