Beckley_WWHS 10 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Marquel Ali signed as an invited walk to play football at WVU yesterday. It will be interesting to see what happens with him when he gets with some coaches that know how to coach that type of an athlete. He has never been in an offense where he was really able to turn his speed loose. I wonder what kind of numbers he would have had at a school like Nitro or Martinsburg.

GetMoney55 11 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Marquel Ali is a good football player and im glad that he is getting the opportunity to play college ball at WVU. He set the 100m track record as a sophomore if im not mistaken and it stills stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] That about the truth. Beckley Football has under-acheived for years. I said a couple of years ago that it was Bob Lilly's time to go, but I guess it's hard to get rid of a guy with that last name in Raleigh County.

Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I'm surprised Ali didn't commit to one of the big-time track schools since most were recruiting him for track... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckley_WWHS 10 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I think Ali has always liked WVU and that might have swayed him that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
