Marlon Brown - Football Recruiting

It's a slightly older video from June, before he narrowed his list. I found it on his Rivals profile, click "More Videos" then "AMP Marlon Brown exclusive." The actual quote from the video is "I'm gonna have to say Tennessee, because they always e-mail me..."

Marlon Brown, a 6-5 wing forward for YOMCA Team Memphis, looks on during a break against Team Texas Elite. Brown is also one of the nation's most sought-after high school wide receivers. He intends to play football and basketball in college.

Terrelle Pryor, the Jeanette, Pa., quarterback who dragged his recruitment two weeks past national signing day before he inked with Ohio State, could have bucked that trend. Pryor, a 6-5 wing, could have demanded that he be allowed to play basketball. Instead, he chose to play only football. Brown hopes he isn't forced to choose, and he has the leverage in the form of offers to keep both sports on the table.

At the moment, Brown's list is a who's who of football powers -- with UCLA and Stanford also in the mix. With offers from practically every school in the top 50, Brown pared his list to Florida, Georgia, LSU, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Stanford, Tennessee, UCLA and USC. Not coincidentally, all 10 of his semifinalists made the NCAA Tournament in basketball at least once in the past three seasons, and four (Florida, LSU, Ohio State and UCLA) have advanced to the Final Four in the past three seasons.

Brown will have several high-powered coaching tag teams recruiting him. It's tough enough to say no to one coach, but how does a player say no to Jim Tressel-Thad Matta, Urban Meyer-Billy Donovan, Pete Carroll-Tim Floyd or Rick Neuheisel-Ben Howland? Meanwhile, newbie Trent Johnson may score some points with co-worker Les Miles if he can help get Brown to Baton Rouge.

All that interest has made for a busy summer for Brown. "I've been to Stanford, UCLA, USC and Tennessee," Brown said. "All this summer." On top of that, he has played for the YOMCA Team Memphis traveling squad. Still in the works are an unofficial visit to Florida and the AAU national tournament in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.

A basketball assistant at one of the schools on Brown's list said the Harding Academy star certainly has the basketball skills to play anywhere he chooses. Saturday morning, Brown quietly piled up 25 points in a win against Baltimore-based Team Melo. While Brown doesn't do anything flashy, he chooses his shots well, he takes care of the ball and he covers his man like -- what else? -- a lockdown defensive back.

In all seriousness, if he wants to play both sports he needs to come here. We have better a better bball team, and a prestigious football team.

You would think that. Although I think he knows his future is football and he may be willing to go to a program with a below average to average BB team IF he likes the FB program enough. That could be the situation here.

I don't believe that they teach Geography in the Memphis schools. It's common knowledge that they don't know that they live in the great state of Tennessee.:rock:

yeah. but also from knoxville its closer to canada then it is to memphis.......i really hope we get this kid. the thing that scares me about him is that he plays in the lowest level in that part of the state. i am betting wherever he goes there is going to be a larger adjustment period then normal HS prospects going to college.(like Chris Donald)

Close...but I think that Knoxville is in fact closer to Memphis than it is to Canada (about 420 miles to Canada vs. 380 to Memphis, "as the crow flies"). This isn't the case for the Tri-Cities, though.

I can get to Memphis in under 6 hours I believe and it's going to take close to 8 to get to Windsor.
