T.O. is pretty good as well.

I think what he meant was while those WRs are/were elite WRs, their childhood antics ruined team chemistry.

But there are ways to be cocky and not over the top like Moss/Owens. Like Hines Ward would be an example.

I was lucky to meet Marlon when he visited tOSU recently....there was no question about him being cocky. He is a downright nice and polite person.

I hope working with Cris Carter helped convince this guy to come here.

Georgia sports blog is reporting that now that UGA has a confirmed commitment from their #1 in-state target Branden Smith (http://georgiasports.blogspot.com/20...b-recruit.html)

The Dawgs are likely to turn all attention towards Mr. Brown.


Regardless - it seems like he's going to be wearing red next season.

I still think there's a chance he wears scarlet.

How about Ocho Cinqo?

Listening to local sports talk radio here in Knoxville......they seem confident in the end, Brown will choose Tennessee. If I'm Brown.....do I really want to wait until my sophomore, maybe even my junior season before Kiffin has his prototype QB in place??

After watching Pryor use his height to make that TD catch, it really makes me want this guy more. The thought of him and Carter both on the field in the RZ makes me

I am hearing the same thing, I hope they are wrong. I think Kiffin screwed up when he basically told Taj Boyd to take a hike.

That being said, by no means do I feel like Marlon Brown is cocky or rude or anything like that. I saw what you were referring to and that's just HS kids having fun. I'm looking forward to hearing about where Marlon chooses to attend, all the while hoping he's wearing scarlet and gray next year! Go bucks!

you won a d1aa championship? a mac title?
you won a hs state title in football? state titles in the 100m and 200m?

Stock report from the Under Armour All-America Game - ESPN

Down: Marlon Brown, WR, Harding Academy/Memphis, Tenn., Undecided

Brown came into the week as the top UA All-American receiver but really didn't do much in practice to justify it. While his overall size and body strength was really impressive in person, he showed just adequate burst out of his breaks and top-end speed after the catch. Brown obviously made an early statement in the UA game itself, showing better speed in the second level and big-play ability. While he may be a gamer, we still feel his play is inconsistent. There is no questioning his striking frame and big hands as an outside receiver prospect, but we thought we would see more fluidity, explosiveness and game-breaking ability deserving of a No. 2 overall receiver. While still an impressive athlete for his size, he just did not flash the game-changing ability we expected to see and at times blended in with the pack.

They must have missed that little 71-yard TD catch and run on their first play from scrimmage...

I was referring to NFL championships.
And you don't get a ring for a track titles.

Back to discussion about Marlon Brown...

If Brown is as good as advertised, I see no reason why he couldn't play right away.

I salivate over a potential WR corp of Brown, Posey and Dane.
