I hope the kid is a huge in success whatever path he chooses. Seems pretty down to earth.
Super nice kid and a great story.
I don’t know why but this made me laugh. Simple yet effective.
Second round??? 3rd??
this is what a 3rd rd RB looks like

Also, Robinson is huge for a RB. He’s far from the norm. Breece Hall was a first round pick last year and is the same size as Ali. The Seahawks took Walker out of Michigan State in the first round last year and he’s 5’9”.
did he opt out for the whole season? I was not aware of that - thought he was trying to come back later in the season
He has a lot to say all of the time, some cool, some nonsensical… so likely.
I feel like this is Deja vu for Marshall… we always have these talented athletes and instead of sticking it out getting a degree or at least ensuring a “realistic” draft slot a recruiter or agent gets in there ear and they jump ship.. if he’s as smart as people are making him sound he won’t be declaring for the draft. I’d rather see him portal to a bigger program than possibly throw it away. JMO
With the portal, NILs, and leaving early to play pro ball, I predict Marshall will never again have a super star athlete who stays more than a year.
Why take it up w McShay you are the one who said ‘
All true statements. Still believe he’d be a day two pick if the draft was held today’
I m not rooting against the kid, I just believe based on his body of work up until today, he’s not a first or second day pick
Tell me more about Todd F’ng McShay’s “expert” draft analysis 🧐Yep.
Todd McShay has Ali as his 5th best RB and 50th prospect OVERALL in the 2023 draft.

College football season is here, and Todd McShay ranked his top 50 NFL draft prospects for 2023 -- plus position ranks for 200 draft-eligible players.www.espn.com
Because McShay has him ranked as the 50th best prospect and 5th best RB in the 2023 class.
How do you not follow that?
He’s not even in the Top 15

If I had a dollar for every MU athlete that thought they were good enough to leave early and actually be drafted, I might be able to buy a nice dinner at MU Cafe.
If I had a dollar for every HN poster who said these players and those leaving early would be drafted I’d buy your dinner, and mine
No doubt he would be better playing another year, but my biggest issue with this situation goes back to Huff and others with the program insisting he's only out temporarily.
If they know otherwise, just say they can't comment right now on his status OR be honest and quit blowing smoke up our asses.
If he is done due to injury or wanting to go pro, are they doing this out of fear many will assume our season is going to suck and therefore lose interest?

Did he 100% opt out for the season? Thought he was just gone a few weeks and he would be back.
What we saw from the Rb’s we may not need him even though he is missed there looks to be plenty of them to give ND headaches today.
I mean, I know I’m on here saying Ali would get drafted if he leaves early but there’s a lot of truth in this. We usually overrate our own players.
Ali is different, though. I swear 🤣
Comes back or not, the combine will be what tells whether he gets drafted or not.
