Marcus Hall's visit
There's an article on Rivals about Marcus Hall's visit to UM. He said Michigan's chances are "big" right now and that he's going to compare the rest of his visits to OSU and UM. It sounds like he liked it.
Unfortunately, though, William Campbell (who Hall became friends with at the AAA Bowl) wasn't in town due to the weather.
Also, nobody committed, but apparently some of Rivals' sources think we'll get "a few" commitments out of the guys who were there. Interesting...

and the "few" commitments we might get would come out of this group?

... feeling really good about Mingo. I saved him from wiping out last night, he won't find such kindness in the SEC or Big 12.

Did you give him a lap dance as well? :P
January 11th, 2009 at 2:05 PM ^
That makes sense considering he's only visited OSU and UM.

OSU lock but if something other happens i'll be happily surprised.

... per his FB statuses, went home for the weekend, totally not weather-related. Hall was at the SQ/WQ snowball fight and looked cold, but seemed to be having a good time. Chances are alright.

He went home but had planned on returning to AA during the official visits, but wasn't able to because of the weather.

Was that because OSU boosters parked a brand new White Escalade in his driveway?

...no the weather was really bad and the highways were closed I think im not sure

If few means 3, I think the most likely ones are:
Denard Robinson
DR's teammate
and
Travante Stallworth

Here's what I found most interesting from that article. Hall asked Patrick Omameh, "how did he deal with the pressure around him to go to Ohio State."
If you look at the little things that these guys say, you can get a lot out of it. The usual statements about academics, tradition, blah blah blah. That stuff is fluff that they say to everyone.
What he said there is that he's feeling pressured to pick Ohio State because he's from there, and from what I take is that maybe he isn't 100% on that. I've never spoken with him, but that statement says a lot to me.

i was thinking the same thing...

I got the same vibe from him during his interview at the Army AA game. The first thing he mentioned when asked about playing for OSU was their flaws, particularly with the depth chart stacked at his position. This guy wants a crack at early playing time. I'd say our chances are decent.

Any news on denard robinsons visit?
