2018 OG Marquan McCall to Kentucky
Oak Park (MI) Oak Park offensive guard Marquan McCall committed to Kentucky. He's a 4-star, the #4 offensive guard, and #111 overall. I have doubts about whether this commitment will stick, but for now, he's off the board.
is strong.
Harbaugh has lost his edge and can't hold his state? That's soooo Pete.
I have doubts this one will stick as you said. There are and will be some better opportunities for him. Nice pick up for Kentucky. I have thought he would end up at MSU until their recent implosion.
It looks to be an act to make an announcement he wants this to be done with. However, there is a reason UM did not put the full court press on, especially given our need - hell, all teams always have a need for top OLmen - and if we really want him, UM, along with many schools will definitely step up. This, imo, is the first volley, and yes I did hear about the injuries so that could be telling.
Maybe he wants to play immediately. No idea why you'd want to go up against an Alabma defense as a true frosh...
No offense to the kid. Just a guess.
Kentucky football over Michigan? Hilarious.
PSU originally had commitments from Lavert Hill khaleke Hudson n Quinn nordin n they all flipped... In case u get injured or don't test well n lose value commit n u can always upgrade to a better offer
Hudson was never committed to PSU
Not sure what is too confusing here. OL is a tough position to evaluate. Clearly M isn't as high on him as the services.
I bet Hoke would have been all over this kid if he were still here.
McCall plays a position that we might not take in this class, the staff thought he was overrated, and he may have questionable academics. Add in a recent major injury. When have you ever heard of the best player in Michigan not having committable Michigan or Ohio State (no offer at all) offers. Heck, I don't even know if his MSU offer was committable.
is that he will play DT, not Guard
He basically said this had to do with the fact that Michigan is only looking at tackle prospects now, and McCall's a G. He didn't say anything about academics, but as a rule Sam refuses to comment when academics are an issue.
we have one stud Guard with Ekiyor
For all the chatter over us not getting top michigan players - it sounds like the coaches like Hayes and Mayfield better than McCall. The ACL injury could be a concern, and it sounded like McCall said grades were a concern too - but we are prob going to end up with OL from MI.
I am more currious if that is TOO Many OL from MI. We have a small class - and it doesnt sound like we are taking at the OL spot this year. If we keep Emil, get Hayes and Mayfield - that is one opening. Neither Tackle sounds like a guy that wont have to redshirt. Can we afford to take the 400 lbs Aussie who we need to develop then? Or do we need to look at one of the highly ranked Tampa buys or someone more ready to play if we need them?
