could not disagree more. what has he done to be labeled a prima donna? nothing. he's a kid trying to decide where he will spend the next four years of his life, not to mention choosing an institution that he will forever be linked with. cut him some slack. Im sure you had it all together at 17 years old right?

announcing that he will commit the day after NSD is rather prima donna-ish....IMO.

he's a kid thats being hounded by the media on every side. you guys expect way to much. You say he's lazy, but in reality you dont really know anything about his work ethic. until he plays at the next level you have no idea how he will respond to college coaching, period.

Usually, I consider one that weighs all of their options before making a decision very wise.

What if this was an Ivy League scholarship and Princeton, Yale and Harvard were competing for Marlon. We would consider it ridiculous if he didn't visit all three schools.

Eric Berry (who as you know is a legacy recruit) was an exception to the rule, but for the most part, most athletes that visit schools give glowing reviews after their visits. It is all part of the game.

If I was 17 and had a free trips to college campuses around the country I would use every visit I was allowed.

I dont get why people are making assumptions and bashing the kid. He looks to be a good player and good student. It seems like there is pre-emptive tearing down of Brown because some people think we wont get him. And yes we need a Kelly Washington now, I dont see any other huge, fast NFL recievers on the team.

My only point is that there is a lot of noise around this kid that we aren't seeing with the others. Maybe we'll get him, maybe he'll turn out great - hopefully so. I'm just concerned with some of what I'm reading about him.

Totally agree on putting a lot of thought into a big decision, and I don't have a problem with him taking all the visits he can.

I don't have an agenda against the guy, just noting my concern that he seems like a very "me-oriented" guy with questionable work ethic who's going to be thrust into a highly competitive and demanding team sport scenario.

Not to argue, because I think I know what your intent is... but I would say we need another Meachem, Harper, Nash or Price, rather than another Washington.

Here is the terrific part about it. If he isn't coming to work, Kiffin will simply show him the highway. This ain't Kelley Washington's head coach.

And with the way you would be treated on each of those trips, you would speak glowingly about each and every one.

Noch....I used to date a UGA "recruit hostess", and you are correct.

Exactly. I was friends with one of the UT hostess' duing my time there, I personally know of a few recruits who had a very, very good time in Knoxville. And she was one of the more conservative ones!

The fact that he knows he will announce after signing day is stupid Rex. I don't think pryor decided to announce after signing day two months in advance.

I think the kid is a little immature but overall a good kid and a great football player. We would be lucky to have him. I think he is caught up in everybody courting him. I think he likes the attention but he also likes several schools. He will not decide until NSD and we have as good a chance as anyone to land him.

How dare you call Rex stupid. He happens to be one of the smartest and best posters around here.:)

Was he invited to the US Army HS All-Star game? If so,watch who he hangs out with; it may provide a clue.

I actually heard that USC was not impressed with Brown at the camp. Apparently he had a bad week.

To the other poster that asked if Brown is in the Army AA game. He is actually playing in the Under Armor AA game on Sunday.

You are correct. That camp dropped him from 5 star to 4 star.
