I realize that recruiting for 2014 has not been finalized, but there is a lot of talent in VU's recruiting territory and I have been intrigued by Myles Marshall (TX), who recently finished 2nd in the USA Juniors 800 in 1:48.43. A rising senior. Doesn't turn 17 until December. Best part is he is the son of two Villanova greats - Debbie Grant & John Marshall. Great bloodlines. Does Marcus pursue him?
One would think a kid might have some latent dream of running where his parents were stars, but that has rarely been the case for VU. (Someone correct me if I am wrong ...) Furthermore he is in Texas. Never heard of any Texas runner coming to VU. Do recall an exchange with a Villanova alumnus during the 2014 recruiting. Does that pose an obstacle?
Even bigger concern: Does the fact that Marshall was released prove to be an insurmountable obstacle?
Kid obviously has talent and comes from a good family - remember they are both VU grads. Would be really cool if he were to achieve success at his parents' alma mater - very cool..
