Great News!
Do you think wide receiver might be his position ? :D
Finally some good news. Too bad we can't see him on the court as well. Out with the "old" (relative term in this case), in with the new! Sounds like hes excited to play here, based on his other recruiting opportunities.
about time! UNI thought they had him sewn up.
Marcus is my family's new favorite player!
Reason - my wife loves the name!
Will Williams be eligible to play next year? The Bison could use some WR help if Sidney Haynes is really off the team.
Will be interesting to see if Marcus or Cooper (maybe both) don't redshirt.
I think the big high school player from CA has a good chance to play right away. Maybe even more of a chance than either of the MN guys. I'm only basing this on his physical size. 6'4" and over 200 lbs. He is a force already.
I'm really excited about this! No matter what side of the ball this guy plays on. I think he will be a difference maker.
Gotta love that statement...Quote:
He was looking at both sports throughout his senior year, but he said he picked NDSU football over Northern Iowa and the University of Minnesota.
this is a steal!
Was he a starting PG for Hopkins because I thought I read something that all starting kids were going to play b-ball at D1 schools?
yep stud PG for Hopkins. May play some hoops down the road. LOCKDOWN defender. Colorado State offered him in hoops. He is a legit athlete. Crazy good.
This is a great signing. Congrats to Craig and his staff!!!! It was great to hear the Hopkins coach today on KFAN talking about how classy and honest our staff was to him during the entire process. Talked about him being a corner or a slot receiver with crazy 10 yard burst.
Looks like UNI is well aware of NDSU on the recruiting front. Well, SDSU for that matter too. (Jack fans...that was a jab, and this is a Bison board, so it will be ok).
Its always good to get great athletes on the team...there's always room for studs, no matter what position they play...they can always learn! Especially when you take one away from the panthers! Ahh, memories of that road trip last year...Bison Home Game! :) How fun was that?! (well, other than the actual game I mean..oops)
Wow, I really thought he was going to UNI. What a GREAT get! Looks like we have a crazy good incoming receiver class if that's what Williams ends up playing.
Oh yeah, forgot about him! Ok, I'm less bummed about Haynes already.Quote:

Good interview with Marcus Williams head coach at Hopkins, http://216.117.157.184/740thefan/upl...0dehartong.mp3
Ssswwweeeeeeetttt
The WDAY article said he'll most likely be playing corner at NDSU.
Wow, what a change of heart, talking to his dad at the Pulley basketball tournament last month, he said Northern Iowa was a done deal. Most schools we're scared away by his size, but he is an athlete with some great cover skills.
I think the Panthers cooled on Marcus late in the recruting period because we already had solid comits from 4 DB's among them is Varmah Sonie from Apple Valley, Mn, JJ Swain from Richfield (Holy Angels Academy) and Terrell Sinkfield from the same HS as Williams (Minnetonka HS). That being said, congrats to the Bison recruiting staff on getting Marcus, he looks to be a good athlete.
Williams went to Hopkins HS, and while Hopkins High School is located in the city of Minnetonka, Minnetonka HS is in a separate school district. Confusing? Yes, to those not living there.Quote:

Thanks for the info on this. He said that he chose the Bison over those other two schools. This appears to be a major recruit...a game changer. Love it.Quote:

Is it possible for him to play both WR and basketball?
Yes! word in pulley league is marcus choose NDSU because he would be welcomed on the NDSU bball bench.
Did some reading on the young man. Impressive. Any athlete that can play CB, WR and BB at NDSU must be one hell of an athlete.
Williams dad told MinnesotaPreps.com that Marcus would focus on football and school as a freshman, but that he would probably also play hoops as a sophomore. I hope Coaches Bohl and Phillips are on the same page on this.Quote:

I know guys play two sports, but wow. I think it would be great because he has the physical talent. I just hope it doesn't hurt his schooling. Hopefully schoolwork comes easy for him, because that's a lot of time.
Sports are great, but 5 years from now his degree will be better. Good luck to you Marcus! Welcome to NDSU.
His father said he will spend his Freshman year focusing on school and football, and more than likely play both football and basketball his sophomore year.
what happened to this kid? i dont see him on the roster
Clearing house issues? Thats my best guess?
isnt that only for transfers?
absolutely lakes!Quote:

That is weird....totally forgot that he committed here....hopefully he can make it here, we definitely need depth @ WR
He is at NDSU, but not playing football this season...he didnt get 100% by the Clearing House, so he is taking care of that and will be joining the team next season.
