Back to Marcus. The idea of a Offensive Linemen with a nasty steak is huge... See Brewster.
Any timeliness on commitment? I'm guessing the standard Glenville recruit waiting to the end in order to help out the other players in their process, which drives me nuts but I agree with it fully. Smart very Smart

I've heard RB say he likes him at guard better than tackle, so how would he compare to a Jenkins or Brewster?

I like him better at guard at this point but after seeing him at the AA combine, I think he would make an excellent tackle as well. However, I do think his strength would be guard, especially with Adams and Shugarts in '08. I like Hall and Mewhort a ton in the fact that they are both very versatile and can fit in where we need them. Hall, Watts, and Mewhort (possibly one more) would be on heck of an addition to the existing '08 class.
As far as comparison to other guys like Brew and Adams...grad said it. Not as polished as Brew, Adams, and Shugarts but one thing that is certainly comparable is his mean streak. In any case, Hall has all the tools to be a great one just like the Block O.

Look for us to after some big names nationally...I think the staff has to feel pretty confident in landing the above 3...Hall is just waiting till he verbals...They have to feel solid about Watt, with what we are hearing on the boards...
I think they will cast a search of big names to land a 4th lineman...
I agree that Hall might be better at guard, but he has the ability to be a T if needed there...Maybe a RT...

When they're this good, as many as we can. You can never have too many good O-linemen..... |

O-line IMHO is one position that I think we have been thin at for years. Having a little depth for once is refreshing. Marcus would be a great addition to this class.
