Heard the Pirates signed former MU commit Marquis Wallace. He failed to qualify and left MU. Is he a prop? Can't imagine he has the grades to come straight in and play.

He failed to qualify to MU after High School or after JC?

He was a WVU commit, and failed to qualify out of high school, then he came to Marshall as a prop and dropped out sometime thereafter. Then he went to a Juco in Texas, and then another Juco in Pennsylvania.

Good luck to him, but I'd be surprised if he is ever eligible to play FBS football.

With the NC system rules on JUCO's there's never any guarantee's a JUCO makes it.

You guys just need to set up some of those "Carolina Way Classes" and Wallace could be in pads come this fall.

Only the "flagship" gets to pull that crap and get slapped on the wrist.

We'd have to shut down our program if we gave him a bagel with creme cheese on it.
