Florida's Mr. Football signs LOI with Marshall University!

[henrysteele]

Florida's Mr. Football, AJ Graham, returned his letter of intent to the university at 7:30 a.m.

Marshall University and Coach Mark Snyder are off to a great start this morning. Fletcher is a big-time LB. The school is updating the Web page below as the LOIs come in.

Kudos to Coach Mark Snyder and his staff for all their hard work!

This is a big catch for Snyder. I hope he is around to see him play. You know they will redshirt him with the juco QB they signed.

local news said he will compete for start

I talked to a guy at my gym this morning former Boulles High School Football Coach, who gave me his view of some of the Florida players UM, OSU, and Marshall signed.
First- On Grahm, he said no way this guy is even in the ball park with some of the other top florida players in the state. He said his Dad, who is the coach a Boulles, said he saw him and he is a solid player. Denard Robinson is the top dual threat out of Florida, not Grahm.

HAHAHAHA! I am relaying what I heard from someone that knows Florida football. If anyone knows a better source then the HErald-Dispatch, please feel free.

I mean its just common sense....If you are a big time recruit, why , not slamming MU here, why would you sign with a Marshall u.??........

[marshallman]

Well, Who got Mr Football or Mr Florida? I think it was Grahm. That means he was reconized as the top player in the state of Florida by the people who knows football in that state. I'll take that over some guy that works-out at a gym in some place that you work-out

Sounds like the guy lost out on Grahm

If thats all it is, that can be fixed, if the kid wants to play. He will red-shirt anyway. Marshall brought in two JC QB, they have Cann a sophomore and Anderson a JR all coming back.

For those of you that don't know, and that is probably 99% of you, the high school he coached at is big time.

He has seen a good majority of the top kids, and this kid was not one of them. He has no dog in the fight, he played at Wake.

Why in the WORLD, amongst all of the BIG TIME D1 players in Florida, go to Marshall?

COMMON SENSE!

[Speedofsand]

peake, do you mean Bolles in Jacksonville? Corky Rogers is a legend.
I saw Graham play the state finals vs. Cocoa. He is ok, I am pretty surprised he is Mr. Football. His teammate Willie Downs is alot better. Graham is a 2 star on Scout. Good luck to him and Marshall.

[seofan_via_dublin]

when I first read the topic I thought it said "signs L.O.L. with Marshall"

Thought they just forgot the comma before LOL.

It did make me laugh out loud when I read the story.

[Peake]

Speed,

Yes that is the one. He coached under Corky for 4 years. The guy knows what he is talking about.

[marshallman]

So does the ones that elected him Mr Football
