I doubt it came as a huge shock to them.

Orlando Brown's Crystal Ball Predictions

This is almost becoming comical. Alex Gleitman jumps on the Sooner bandwagon as well.

 

[Dust10]

He is good enough to play D 1 ball. Wish it could have been here.

Stay classy

:no:

What if the coaches had held out on taking Bryant's commitment until maybe January because of grade concerns? IMO there is a good chance he would not be a Vol today. With grades, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. At least with Brown they realized he was not getting in before he signed and then cost us a scholarship.

Blair, Thomas, Raulerson all coming in as EEs, and Robertson/Mosley as possible OL as well is a decent class IMO. Having (2) guys already in 2015 and Richmond as very likely looks good on paper. If you look at how the OL played this year, not more than 8-9 guys see much action anyway.

Brown was given a set of expectations in the classroom to fulfill in order to sign. He didn't fulfill them, so we told him "I told you so." Thus, he didn't sign.

Obviously we want him and still do, but we can't waste any schollies.

What has this staff got against minority O-linemen?
Sanders, Kendrick, Wiesman, Thomas, Raulerson. LOL
Brown, was far and above the most talented of this group.

Unfortunately, they could not afford the risk. A signed LOI counts against your numbers. Period.

WTF! Do you think Blair is Chinese or something? How do you know Brown was the most talented? None of these guys have played one down yet.

Epic fail.

Well, good luck Mr. Brown.

WTF, Orlando?

Wow.

 

[LebanonVolunteer]

WTF, Orlando?

Maybe our coaches would not risk it and ou's will. I would think if he ends up not making it in, ou allowing him to sign may be the favorite when he is back on the market IF he goes Juco.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

You may turn in your VFL card at the door. Good luck big man! Can't wait to hear the story on how...why...he landed at OU.

 

[7maxims]

A lot of strange vibes around his commitment the whole time.

 

[Wilson27]

Is it easier to get in Oklahoma than UT?

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Didn't like Nike imo.
