Shoot, Id be excited too. Has tVest made a visit yet?

No he hasn't been down yet. Hopefully he will, Walking out of class and seeing tVest walking down the hallway would be awesome.

Harding Academy earns crown : Preps : Commercial Appeal here's a link to an article about harding winning state in bball if anyone is interested. Marlon dropped 35 in the championship game and was named tourney mvp. He didn't have a huge statistical game in the semi's but he played great defense against Elliot Williams from St. George's who is #16 in the rivals 150 for 2008 and is headed to duke.

Clemson In The Race For Big Receiver

By Phil Kornblut
Clemson has worked its way into solid position with WR Marlon Brown (6-5 205) of Memphis. Brown said he has about 20 total offers and of those, Clemson is in his group of highest interest. He also likes Southern Cal, Notre Dame, Florida, Ohio State, LSU, Texas Tech, Florida State, Tennessee, Kentucky, Stanford, Alabama and Miami. "I hear from coach Rumph every couple of weeks," Brown said of his Clemson recruiter. "I don't have any favorites. "I'm looking at the academics, great coaching, and a spread offense." Brown has never been to Clemson and has not taken any visits this spring. Some of the visits he plans to take will be to Florida, Southern Cal, Kentucky, Tennessee, Stanford, Texas Tech and Notre Dame.

I'd be shocked if tOSU even gets an official visit here. Would be a good Vbet.

GoVols: Brown awed by recruiting attention

The catch? Brown awed by recruiting attention

By Dave Hooker
Sunday, March 16, 2008

Reading college football prospects is far more challenging than tea leaves or tarot cards.

That being said, a pattern seems to be developing with Marlon Brown, a pattern that Tennessee coaches can't help but be encouraged by.

For instance, the 6-foot-5 205-pound receiver from Harding Academy in Memphis has only taken one trip to inspect one of the many colleges that have offered him a scholarship. That trip was to Knoxville late last month. No other trips are scheduled.

After meeting with UT's coaches and seeing its campus, Brown even goes so far as to say he could see himself playing for the Vols.

But just when it seems like the clouds in the crystal ball are parting, Brown is quick to point out that UT isn't leading for his services. No one is.

"Right now, I'm just wide open," said Brown, who many believe is the top prospect in the state.

Same article that Wes just posted, for free via USA Today: Link

Says his first love is basketball, so it's playing a huge role in his choices.

Hopefully he'll consult with some NFL scouts and they will tell him the best place to go would be tOSU.

Only two things I don't like about this guy:

1. he tackles like Chris Gamble, or Deion Sanders -- with this hands, trying to stay on his feet...

2. he "popped" his jersey a couple of times. If he comes to Ohio State he could break Santonio Holmes' record for celebration penalties!

How many did SH have, 15 or 20??

Go Bucks!
