Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

Marlon...

I have watched Marlon Brown play football for three years now, and being an avid follower of D-II A football in Tennessee (sad, isn't it?) I feel that he is the best recruit from the state in nearly a decade. If we land Brown i can honestly say that CLK has proven himself as a relentless recruiter.

I watched him from the sidelines of the State Championship game this year, as an assistant coach for Davidson Academy, and told him after the game that people across the state would love to see him in Orange. he told me "I know, and i like 'dem. I need to get somethin from the new people tho." I have heard ever since then that CLK and staff have made him a top priority and my experience tonight sealed my approval for our new staff.

In memphis tonight, not just CLK and Orgeron, but Thompson too was at Brown's basketball game sitting about 10 rows behind me. Some guys from Harding said that CLK had been to 3 other basketball games before. I was excited about our recruiting energy.

 

I know perosnal stories are almost always BS rumors but sometimes I think first hand impressions should be shared.

First time back posting in a while, great to watch this blog grow as it has (good work Aerobab, Hooper, and Joel)

Hey, CT4UT

Thanks for the first-hand news. It’s great to know that they’re making Marlon a priority not just in words but in actions as well.

Go Vols!

Thanks for posting this.

I would imagine that Marlon pretty well has his mind made up, with the possibility of a last-minute change if some new information warrants it. But we’ll just have to sit back and find out. At the very least, it’s good to know that the new staff is doing everything they can.

Brown

Yes Brown is a major priority and we need him bad. He look great in the all american game dispite some doubters because he was from TN. Usually recruits that leave the state don’t do very well ala Patrick Turner but I think this kid has “IT”

As Hooper mentioned, none of the RTT uniform design entries went with the black shirts and orange pants, like we saw against that team coached by Spurrier this past weekend.

So I gave it a very quick stab.  One thing I couldn't figure out in the short amount of time I took to do this was how to get the "T" on the helmet when designing your own helmet.  Others had done it in the contest...I couldn't figure it out.
