Kevin Ware chose the University of Central Florida. USC had shown some interest in the talented shooting guard.
Here is a profile of a nice looking RB that I wish USC could land
Keith Marshall (Millbrook High, Raleigh, N.C.)
Height: 5-foot-11
Weight: 185 pounds
Upside: This running back is simply elusive as he has speed to run past everyone and the quickness to make them miss if they do get close. His running style is upright and he stays pretty balanced which is something some players don’t often do.
Needs to work on: Marshall isn’t the biggest back so durability will be somewhat of a concern if he doesn’t add a few pounds of muscle for running inside.
