It's not just promising------it's done.

I'm not a rocket scientist--nor are my countrymen whose 'rockets' always end up on the seafloor--but here is a crazy idea: What if he was contacting him about coming to Kentucky? Marrow's obviously feeling successful, getting courted by a big-time program. Why not take a shot on Mr Clark now? I know it is a bit farfetched, especially considering Clark's comments, but you never know.

"Clark told MLive he spoke with Marrow over Twitter direct message on Sunday, the first time he's really ever talked with him, as he's not interested in going to Kentucky. And while Marrow didn't directly mention Michigan, Clark said he left the conversation more or less convinced that Marrow is leaning toward taking a job in Ann Arbor."

Hail yes! Let the transplant begin.
BTW, Stuart Scott's spirit whispered in my ear, 'it's Boo Yow!'

off-the-cuff eulogy is a tear-jerker. Good for him, and the best for Stu and his family.

As mentioned where this came up in another thread, the meaning is clear:
As is soon to be reported by NFL.com, both Marrow and Clark are headed to the Raiders. Just used UK and UofM for leverage.

Yes, as you can tell by the <700 points I've accumulated since 2008, I like to throw in lots of random crap just to run up my point total.
You might not have appreciated the attempt at humor, which is fine. I would point out that your erroneous assumption didn't add a whole lot to the discussion either, but did serve to make it a bit nastier.
...Tell you what, if your delicate internet sensibilities get upset so easily, if I bump into you on game day in Ann Arbor this fall, I'll have UofMDDS96 buy a beer for you at Ashley's. :-)

Sounds good... Maybe I'll be the one to buy you that beer!
And agreed: Go Lions and Go Blue!

Or just don't read. Try TLDR, TSDR (too short/stupid didn't read), TBDR (too bored didn't read), TTDR (too tired didn't read), etc. You have the power so don't eff'in read.

Is that being reported by Adam Schefter, only then will I believe it?

Oh so you know this is Harbaugh's top target? Please tell me more

Clark does have a UK offer and Marrow still works for UK. It would be much more interesting if Marrow came on board and Clark decided to follow him on twitter.

but UK reporters = NFL reporters
January 4th, 2015 at 1:54 PM ^
Not necessarily. A lot of UK reporters are local reporters just like UM has/had. They are hearing a lot of local things who are close to the program. Sound familar?
Regardless of that fact, it looks every bit that Marrow is using UM's offer as leverage. If not, he wouldn't be undecided. We would or should have heard either a solid rumbling of one lean or another to yes or no. It doesn't make sense for Marrow to remain "undecided" but yet wants to "meet with UK officials" this week other than to see what offer UK counters. Just common sense unless there is some weird crazy clause in his contract which is making things sticky, or trying to throw a lot of people off the trail for some reason, but I highly doubt that.
We'll probably get Marrow if UK doesn't counter with what he thinks is acceptable.
January 4th, 2015 at 2:40 PM ^
the most likey scenario of all discussed in this thread. It makes sense that he would do this given his known loyalty to Stoops. Hopefully, Michigan's deeper pockets and the Harbaugh factor will sway him over.
January 4th, 2015 at 4:25 PM ^
January 4th, 2015 at 6:30 PM ^
I hope he's examining all his options before he decides. He'd be a moron not to, and who wants a moron for their TE coach?
That's not the same as "using UM as leverage," though. The latter implies that he never had any intention of accepting Michigan's offer.
January 4th, 2015 at 7:03 PM ^
You can still apply the leverage theory. Here's why. If he wants to talk to UK first, then he must have more interest in staying at UK if they can match or exceed UM's offer...otherwise what else is there to even think about?
It's just purely speculation but out of all the coaches, Marrow is dragging his feet the most and usually when (not always) that happens, it's because of $$$.
I did see the Chris Clark twitter info after I posted my first response. What I found pretty odd is that Marrow didn't say one way or another WHO he was recruiting for. Real odd and in my opinion, kind of sketchy for both programs. Not cool IMO.
If he cold called the kid, still representing UK , they could be playing Harbaugh's game. Harbaugh is cold calling recruits not previously interested in Michigan....perhaps they figured they do the same.

Sounds a little familiar...
