The big knock on him was the transition from QB to RB.. and he passed that test with flying colors.


Its not like he went from a pocket passer to a RB. His transition wasn't much different than Addai and Faulk before him. I really don't think that factored into his star rating in the least.

Dude is a beast!! Glad he is on board!!

No doubt. Marsh can push for a low 5 star imo.


I don't think he should go that high.

Ware should be ranked higher IMO. Marsh lacks size, while Ware really doesn't have much that he lacks for a RB.

typical overreaction by seeing these kids for a few days.


Ware is now the best RB in the country, and Seastrunk all of a sudden is a 4 star player


not that i care about the rankings, but if Rivals overreacts like some of the fans and changes a bunch of rankings, then they dont hold much water in my eyes.


Why would you not go more from seeing these guys in person against top competition, than film against a bunch of kids who will never play in college?

Did you read what they wrote?

They admitted they questioned his size before the week and when they saw him in person they realized he was a lot bigger than they previously thought... 6'3 275 is pretty damn good size for a HS senior.

Just going by watching the game. He struggled some when OLs got their hands on him.

I think that may be a bigger strength issue than size one.

No, but it gave him a stage to shine. I don't think anyone was claiming it was great for their development.



Shine, yes.

I dont think its the right venue to start throwing out stuff like I've been reading. "Lache is overrated"...Ware is one of the 3 best RBs in the nation" and all that good shite.

Its not even comparable to the NFL combine.

It's much different than that. Those are professionals who don't give a shite about the game.

It's a little different in that in those games you know the players are already facing elite competition.

These games give players a chance to play actual top flight competition that they may not have throughout their high school careers.

im not saying hte kids dont give a shite, but with the lack of time for preparation and the lack of game planning its silly to put much stock into it.

You guys realize that if Ware and Marsh get 5*
and we land Ego, this class will have 3 5*. I think that LSU might have the most underrated class this year.
Marsh, Ware, and Hunter were hugely underrated.



Not going to happen.
