Marcus Marshall

[Dustman]

Guess I'm the only one I want like to enjoy our win over uga a little longer, why not wait till we have an official announcement.

Yeah I was hoping this was a conversation about the way he ran Saturday. He broke 3 tackles on one run. Anybody got a video of that?

 

[Southpaw13]

Hopefully he stays. He'd have to sit a year wherever he goes.

 

[ilovetheoption]

If he's leaving, he has given two good years to the program, and some memorable plays.

Unless he goes down to FCS...which seems like it'd just be a really odd choice.

 

[UgaBlows]

Get that GT degree Marcus!

 

[Supersizethatorder-mutt]

After the game he had Saturday, not to mention other great games, why on earth would he consider leaving now? I just don't buy it.

 

[bke1984]

Yeah, I didn't either, but now this is the second poster who has heard this from a source. Seems like it might have legs...

 

[BleedGoldNWhite21]

This is very disappointing, if true.

 

[Jim Prather]

While I hope this is not true, it also does not mean the sky is falling. Assume for a moment that we lose both Mills and Marshall... In that scenario, we can move Bruce Jordan Swilling from linebacker to BB. All of a sudden, we now have a 4* running back (who was heavily recruited by LSU to replace Leonard Fournette) playing, and probably starting, at BB. Again this is not the preferred scenario, but it is also not 2015 where we were really hurting for talent at BB.

i feel like we have an unusually high amount of players that contribute, and start, that elect to transfer. Mike Summers from last year, as the most recent example...but also Beau Hankins and Anthony Harrell as well. Very frustrating, especially after a decent season and hopefully momentum going into next year.

Marshall is an outstanding back and even with Mills, its clear we need to BBacks.

 

[BleedGoldNWhite21]

He just had a great three game stretch. Maybe(hopefully), it's not necessarily football related. I can respect a guy to live his life and do what's best for him, but if it's just about carries, after he finished the regular season as our leading rusher, ehhh.

I believe Hankins also had a couple of concussions that contributed to his decision.

 

[Skeptic]

Yep, the NCAA is adamant about shafting the teenage football players while the coaches play high dollar hopscotch. it is shameful.

 

[SteamWhistle]

Just heard from my sources Marcus is staying and this is all big confusion...
Just as believable right?
Everyone please shut up. YOU are not Marcus YOU don't know what he's gonna do!!!
Mods please close thread until we get a real announcement from Marcus!

We need him at LB

 

[awbuzz]

Rather rumor is true or not, I wish him the best going forward.

 

[Whiskey_Clear]

He's a great kid. Pulling for him regardless. Great fun to watch and great representative for Tech. Will work out fine no matter what happens.

 

[Squints]

If he leaves then he leaves. The world keeps on turning. He was fun to watch the past couple of years and I hope he does well wherever he ends up. If not then that's cool too.

 

[Supersizethatorder-mutt]

I notice that the post claiming KQ tweeted that Marshal is transferring has been deleted, and a friend checked and didn't see such a tweet anyway. Why the hell are people posting obvious lies?

 

[melloace]

Would hate to see him go. The two punch combo of him and Mills reminds me of Laskey and Days. If he does leave the team I could see MLD moving to BB as the home run option. Wasn't that the position he was originally recruited for?
