If your a high school kid looking to play football at the next lvl and have intrest from say ODU/WKY/SM and lets say OHIO / FAU / FIU/ and your a offensive player WR / RB /TE OL tell me and please be 100% honest here. What would make you choose MARSHALL over the other teams listed above? I'm talking about playing in this offense sytem only. I think we have some good players on that side of the ball but the sytem is just shit lets be real here please the OL is young but they held there own all year that unit will be much better next year. WR I think we have speed and hight here but it's not being used correctly ( poor route sceams). RB king is a stud and will only get better i'd love to see a big fullback infront of him opeaning a few more holes for KING and the other backs maybe run some ( wishbone) just a thought. TE we seem to always have a few good one's let's get them involed more in the passing game to open/soften the middle up( out routes to pull a lb out of the middle) and lets run more 5 wides like we used to do or lets try a 4 wr bunch or hell even a 3 wr bunch with 1 on the other side of the field alone and a te on the line that will go out for a pass now and then to keep the defense honest. At the end of the day I would be happy with a new OC and I think most people would be as well and if we did have a QB coach this year then I think we need to look for a better one of those as well and if we didn't then we need one ASAP. Please give me your 100% honest answers Thankyou.
Lets be 100% real here.

Well herdinmichigan you have come up with a decent analogy regarding next years team. The main problem will remain the one constant that drags us down - Bill Legg! Doc will not (his old buddy) fire him not will Mike Hamrick and as long as Legg remains as the OC you will continue to see players being under utilized or not at all. I venture to say opposing teams do not even really have to prepare that hard to play Marshall as rarely do we see any new plays or trick plays yet our opponents use them successfully against us. Expect more of the same next year in my opinion.
I guess if I were an NQ, I would pick Marshall. Sadly, at this point we don't have much to sell.
No way I would go to marshall. Kids are smarter than that now a days. High school coaches are even smarter when guiding their kids. Marshall and Huntington are dead end road for any kids now.
I think the problem is SOME of our fans are still under the impression that we are like the top 'program in waiting' for a P5 invite. I have seen many times where our fan base think we are high profile and try to compare our resume with Boise State or Memphis or UCF. It drives me crazy. The day we realize where we are is the day we can start building from there. Delusions on grandeur are what get teams in constantly swimming upstream- See: Ohio State basketball, Randy Edsall, University of Maryland athletics....
