I don't think he's jumping all over anyone. He might be trolling a bit re: OSU's chances with McDowell. But he isn't all over Marshall. Most people were shocked by his quick commitment to the Buckeyes.

I wasn't....he's a 17 year old man-child. anything is possible at this point.

Eh, maybe we read it differently, but he said he was "shocked" by Marshall's "quick reaction." They were the Michigan fan's words, not mine. Seems evident to me that he's calling into question Marshall's decision-making.

It would appear Mr. Marshall called his own decision making into question. :lol:

Even though id like to have marshall (moreso to snatch a top recruit from the tsun) he reminds me of tyquan lewis. And with lewis already in the fold, we'll be fine with or without marshall. A long long time before the next NSD

Yep defensive line is not a position to be worried about right now.

Not only that, but I see guys like lewis, jamal marcus and Marshall as WDE/OLB hybrids. And our LB corp looks pretty good now after the last 2 classes and shazier and grant being our oldest LBs as juniors. Lose of marshall doesnt sting as much with that kind of young depth.

Sheesh, get a grip people. So the kid wants to go watch a college basketball game between two highly-ranked in-state teams. Don't even start with the Chicken Little stuff...

Agreed, Urb will get him in the end. Buck up! He is simply a fast player and fits with tOSU.

The only thing more devastating to Wolverine and Spartan fans than Lawrence Marshall committing early to Ohio State will be:

Lawrence Marshall committing early to Ohio State then suddenly de-committing, then taking official visits to MSU and UM, then getting tantalizingly close to committing to the home state schools, then at the end sticking with his original decision by committing to Ohio State in a massive news conference covered by all the Michigan media plus ESPN.
:lol:

Sam Webb: Recruiting
MSU, U-M make fresh pitches for Southfield DE Lawrence Marshall

For Southfield standout Lawrence Marshall, recruiting has been a bit of a roller coaster ride in recent weeks. The rising defensive end prospect abruptly committed to Ohio State on Feb. 10, only to rescind that pledge three days later. His change of heart came when his family encouraged him to take a hard look at whether he'd made the most informed choice. He eventually concluded that he hadn't, thanks in large part to trips to Michigan State and Michigan on Feb. 12 and 13, respectively.

"I went up to Michigan State and saw how they were, and I went up to Michigan and saw how they were and I was like, 'I just made my decision too early,'" Marshall admitted. "I (initially said) I would wait it out until after my football season. I had a great time (in Columbus Feb. 9-10) and it was crazy, but it was just going too fast. I'm trying to slow it back down."

The Spartans and Wolverines have hammered that point home in recent weeks. Michigan State was first to host Marshall after his sudden Ohio State commitment, and his experience that day reminded him of a few things. The Green and White held the distinction of being both his childhood favorite and his first major BCS offer. In addition, the presence of his good friend, former Southfield Lathrup linebacker Jamal Lyles, only increased the Spartans' appeal. While he had never declared Michigan State his favorite, his high level of comfort with the program had always been apparent. He rediscovered on the visit just how comfortable he is East Lansing.

Said Marshall, "The game was crazy! It was a great basketball game with Keith Appling and Trey Burke going head to head. Then I had a sit-down with Coach 'D' (Dantonio) and was talking to him. He was just telling me the ins and outs of how he felt. He was just talking to me as a person ? not as a football recruit, and he just opened my eyes. "

"He said, 'You've got to find the truth in people. You've got to figure out if they're really there for you or if they just want you because you're a kid from Michigan.'"

Marshall added: "I'm just trying to see each campus. I'm just trying to go see other schools right now. Ohio State ? they're still one of my favorite schools, don't get me wrong. Coach Urban Meyer is a great coach, Coach (Kerry) Coombs is a wonderful coach, and the D-line coach is a great coach, too. Everybody is a great coach. There is nothing against Ohio State at all. I just want to wait out my decision right now and take it slow."
