Lawrence Marshall: "I have decommitted from Ohio State"

  • Frankly, the Michigan fans on this board were kind of upset about the Marshall commitment. Check it out. The thread was locked because of all the trolling though.

  • URBZ DOIN' WORK roflmao. This is normal behavior after urbz rufi's a high school kid's mind. They eventually wake up. Or what would be better....this was Marshall's plan all along.

    How bad is this kid going to be trashed by the bucknuts?

    Not at all by us reasonable Buckeye fans. I actually respect the kid for de-committing so early if he was not 100% sold. The de-commits I can't stand are the ones that happen on NSD that leave teams high and dry. A good example was last year. We had Alex Anzalone and Lewis Neal as LB commits, but both de-committed and we ended up with Mike Mitchell and Trey Johnson, which every recruiting site says is an upgrade. That's the power and drawl universities like OSU and Michigan have. I pretty much take every commitment out of state with a grain a of salt at this point. Love Marshall's game and hope he becomes a Buckeye, but if he doesn't I will still respect him because he has given OSU PLENTY of time to find a quality replacement.

  • Where's the "bucknut" who two days ago was preaching the choir to us saying Marshall and Webb were heavily recruiting Harris and McDowell to Ohio?

    Exactly what I was thinking. I remember a mini meltdown on here with a few people trying to find a silver lining by suggesting it wasn't the end of the world, which was true.

  • O.K., but the lesson here: DO NOT FREAK OUT!!!

    Me too, because I admit I was pissed about him committing without really taking a UM visit.

    Kids are kids.

    We don't need kids to recruit for us because we have this guy that is well known in the recruiting world and has been known to pull big time talent and his name is Urban Meyer! There is a LONG way to go before 2014 NSD and just like OSU will get their fair share of talent so will Michigan! For the most part on Bucknuts we saw this coming so it really wasn't a shock and it comes with the territory when recruiting in your rivals backyard so to speak! I'm 100% Buckeye and i have a brain that works properly so i was NEVER counting on Marshall or McDowell to come to OSU and I'm still worried if we can keep Webb but in the end i think we keep Webb and have a CHANCE to land Harris. The reason i think we can land Harris is we have a big time need at his position and Urban's track record of getting a highly ranked guy at a position of dyer need is really good! Lets all just be glad that our teams are the CLASS of the B1G and the championship will go through our 2 states for the next decade!

  • This has nothing to do with either school. This is a story about a youngster who got caught up in the moment and was over emotional. After thinking about it for a few days realized that he had made a mistake to commit. I don't blame him. I think its embarassing for him. But ultimately he has to make a decision that makes him happy. In fact, any adult that trashes a young man for doing what is right for him, is wrong on every level.

    This is the be all end all argument against those who want an early signing period in football recruiting.

    Is this about Marshall or Denzel Ward?

    Nope not you. Still can't seem to pinpoint the second bucknut I generally respect.

    Must've been a crazy dream of mine.

    I've found that when an truly crazy thought strikes me that an overdose of Scotch helps clear my mind and puts me back on the track to reality.

    Actually, the thread I read over there has OSU fans being quite sensible about it. I know there are radicals on my board, but so far so calm.

    It didn't help everyone was still pissed off from the Wisconsin OT game. I saw the Marshall commitment and shut down chrome...

    lol Can any of you bucknuts read? Nobody said we didn't want him. We were saying that losing a mid/low 4* rated in state kid was not the end of the world and wouldn't hurt Michigan all that bad because we figured we could land an equally good recruit. Marshall is a good player that any team should be happy to land but I don't view him as a 5* must get from your own state type of player.

    No, i cant read. Spin it however you want but "No big loss, plenty better out there, he's not even ranked etc" posts are in the same ballpark as not wanting imo.

    The kid said everybody, family and coaches, were surprised when he committed. Kind of obvious it wasnt too well thought out. It happens. As long as they dont bail last second im fine with stuff like this. Good luck to him

    If that's the case, then the entirety of Bucknuts is guilty of saying they didn't want Marshall.
