OT: Article Highlights KY TE Coach Vince Marrow's Success in Ohio; Schadenfreude Ensues
I found this pretty funny.. A Cleveland.com article highlights Kentucky's recruiting successes in Ohio this year with TE Coach Vince Marrow (yes that Vince Marrow) as its focus.

Almost instantly the Dowell twins of Lakewood St. Edward HS, both 4 star recruits FLIP to Michigan State.

Twins David and Andrew Dowell have officially committed to Michigan State, flipping from Kentucky.

Many words... not all necessary.

He should have left when he had a chance.
January 28th, 2015 at 7:45 PM ^
I don't find this funny at all.

Ummmmmmmmm

How is this funny?

Coach interviews at Michigan. Is apparently offered the job. Calls recruits, saying he's taking the job. Eats a roast beef sandwich, lets rumors swirl. Calls UK and gets his raise. Turns down Michigan. Does interviews about why he turned down Michigan. Articles written about his recruiting prowess in Ohio-- Loses 2 toutes recruits, instantly.
I don't know, maybe I'm just a dick but it's funny to me.

He is laughing all the way to the bank.

I get it...some people around here are weirdly skeptical of EVERYTHING...
January 28th, 2015 at 7:51 PM ^
Yeah, MSU getting recruits they like isn't funny at all. What should we care that Marrow turned UM down? I'm more than happy with the coaching staff as is.

Oakland (University) is still in play

So because he decided to stay at Kentucky instead of coming here, we should be happy when his recruits flip on him?
January 28th, 2015 at 7:58 PM ^
Yeah, basically. Like when your ex-girlfriend gets fat.
January 28th, 2015 at 8:08 PM ^
January 28th, 2015 at 9:50 PM ^
oh, never mind.

Their class this year won't be as good. They can't keep the Ohio kids right now.
January 28th, 2015 at 8:08 PM ^
Maybe funnier if they went somewhere else instead of being fighting couch burners. I'm past Marrow. We have one of the three top coaches in college football and 4-5 million worth of NFL experienced assistant coaches.

Move along. Nothing to see here.

We dodged a bullet when UK gave Vince Marrow a raise and signed him to a three year contract. Marrow sounds like a self-promoter who initiated the contact with Harbaugh and leveraged the job offer into a better deal for himself at UK.
Offering Marrow a position on this staff was a mistake.

Looks like Marrow has you slickered too.

a) Starz don't matter
b) Trust the coaches
c) Offer sheets matter
d) All of the above

I don't know anything about these kids... but Jake Ryan had a pretty weak offer sheet and was at a major program in Ohio.
I hate to say it, but by now you just have to accept that MD can identify and develop solid talent... and take some peace in the fact that we've got a coach who can get our boys in shape to kick their over-achieving asses.

So now Michigan has to deal with two 4* kids at MSU that otherwise would have wound up at UK and off the schedule? Man, I'm laughing all the way to the bank.
