Yes, a sophmore-to-be...

According to Gary Housteau of Bucknuts, Marcus showed amazing potential at the All-America combine in San Antonio. Gary also says that he could end up at DE, DT, OG or even TE.

Gary says that this kid is a stud, and that he might be the best Tarblooder to ever come out of Glenville before its all done.

Has to be the first '09'er to have a thread started, right?

[buckeye247]

Sounds like this kid is a man among boys. Maybe GinnSr can plant the tOSU seed while he is young. I dont think I have ever seen a 6 foot 4 freshman that ways 285 lbs.

[notfadeaway]

I like recruiting talk as much as evryone else here at bp...but isnt it a bit dimented that we are already talikng about a 14-15 yr old with only one year of pt? Don't get me wrong, I pray he becomes a buckeye and all However, perhaps this is why there is the TO situation or better yet Ron Artest...perhaps its just me.

[Mr. Clutch]

Wow. This kid's in my grade. I can't imagine watching a guy this big walk around school. We had this guy named Sean Gotschalk who got a scholarship to UVA, who plays the same position as this guy, and he's a senior, and weighs a full 25 lbs less than Hall. Wow.

Darius Ashley's thread was started only a few games into his sophomore season and he went on to be the MVP of the state title game. Occasionally a player so dominant at such a young age comes around, and is so impressive that they can be mentioned up there with the seniors and juniors. This kid sounds like a great one, and hopefully he'll be a Buckeye in the distant (or not so distant?) future.

Uh, actually I was poking fun at buckeye247's usage of the wrong word ("ways" instead of "weighs") by doing the same in my reply. There are kids of that age here in Hawaii who are even bigger, so I wasn't doubting his weight...or should I say wayt.

I would have gone "wait."

[bobcat84]

I gotta see Glenville play this year, WOW

[wadc45]

Updated his numbers from the SA combine in the first post...

[RB07OSU]

Watching the free AMP video over at Rivals that shows Glenville vs. Mooney, the folks there seem very impressed with Hall. The clips they showed of him at OL seemed very impressive indeed. I wonder how he fared against Simon (if he faced him at all?).

[Napoleonbuck]

Simon was held out of the scrimmage, but I have heard good things about Hall. Considering the tackle Haul we're bringing in this year, he might be our only tackle next year.
