Chris Pool on the National board posted this to annoy an Ohio State poster. Bob Lichenfeilds(sp?) and Chris Pool both claim he isn't a lock to OSU and that Auburn and Tennessee are players here. It's funny that they say they have sources, but Mr. Brown isn't letting Aaron talk to these guys. He has 3 visits set, but none of the 3 are to Tenn. or Auburn, so I think the National guys are trying to piss buckeye fans off! Brown will be a Buckeye!

I hope you are right, but that is not the feeling I get from my sources on the Cincinnati prep scene.

Its funny how several months ago the top 3 lineman in ohio were all virtual locks to OSU (Smith, Brown, Boren) and now it kinda seems like 1 of top 4 (possibly 2 but with a dogfight) seems more likely, if you consider Tilley #4.

Whenever it is a long drawn out battle for an Ohio stud, and a commiment doesn't take place soon after an OSU offer (not including Glenville kids) it seems like we usually end up #2 on their list.

Boren always had Michigan in the running, and lots of people, including me, suscpected he'd still end up there even though we were in the lead.

Smith is as close to a lock as you can get right now.

And this is the first time any of us, have heard about someone else leading for Brown.

So I'd say were still in pretty good shape, besides OOS'ers are always possible

yes there has been. however, as it stands at this point, he is only camping at osu, and he only has 3 visits set up, none of which are to the schools being rumored. if that changes then fine. honestly, IMO the browns going to osu camp then basically shutting down recruiting for a spell may be the best thing for osu.

could you elaborate, none of us have heard anything other than pro-osu news for OSU on Brown

I would love to, but the rules of the recruiting forum will not allow for it. :)


I will say this...Brown's dad is acting like the kids agent and the amount of involvment and input that his dad is having with his son (i.e. telling him where to go, what to do..scheduling ALL of his college visits in-season and missing weekend sessions for Princeton...etc...) leads me to be very suspicious of the whole situation.

Brown

H&G let me begin be saying that I have read number of your posts and really appreciate your insight. With that being said, I think using the term agent with regard to Aarons' father involvement is a little harsh. Very,very few kids at this age have the ability,maturity, wisdom and insight to process the volumes of information that is thrown at them from prospective colleges. Any parent that has had a child that is talented enough to be recruited by several schools regardless of the sport can attest to that. Mr. Brown's involvement serves to be a guide in helping his son look at the situation now and in the long run. He's also giving him perspective from his past experiences to aid Aaron in making the best informed decision that he can. George's work schedule and most importantly, his love for his son gives him the time and resources to be that mentor for his son. Ultimately, the decision will be Aaron's. There is a very practical reason for his involvement. Unfortunately, some understandibly think that it may be over the top. Aaron's father's input is the reason he has become the fine young man and player that so many covet now. I hope this explanation can in some way allay some of your suspicions.

excellent post and I appreciate your insight...I guess I will still have my doubts and would debate, in a respectful manner, further. But this is not the place for that. Thank you for your post.

On the BN premium board, Duane Long said he contacted all of his relevant sources regarding brown after the whole chris pool/bob lichen..whatever incident on the main board. duane has said that he cannot find anyone that will verify anything outside of osu being the team to beat for brown's services.

The Brown's are really looking forward to being in Columbus this Saturday(June 25). Don't know how involved Aaron's going to be in the festivities so to speak, but they are really looking forward to seeing the other talented players who potentially could be part of the 06' class. Should be a great weekend.

Connor Smith is #1

</TD><TD noWrap width=3></TD><TD vAlign=top>By Chris Pool Midwest Recruiting Analyst
Date: Jun 23, 2005

There’s no doubt that the strength of the Midwest is and always will be the offensive line. The state of Ohio is absolutely loaded with road graders in 2005 and this group is led by Cincinnati (Colerain) tackle Connor Smith. Here’s a look at the rest of the “Top 10” offensive linemen in the Midwest.
</TD></TR><TR><TD colSpan=3>
1. Connor Smith, 6-5, 295, 5.0, Cincinnati (Ohio) Colerain
Dominates the line-of-scrimmage…Could play guard or tackle

2. Justin Boren,, 6-3, 305, 5.0, Pickerington (Ohio) North
A mauler that has already given Michigan his commitment

3. Lee Tilley, 6-5, 320, 5.1, Springfield (Ohio) South
Huge wingspan…good feet…Big, mean and strong

4. Aaron Brown, 6-6, 280, 5.1, Cincinnati (Ohio) Princeton
Has everyone in C-Bus holding their breath…Huge upside

5. Jake Bscherer, 6-7, 275, 5.1, Sturgeon Bay (Wis.)
Wisconsin commit has the frame and potential to be a great one

6. Matt Carufel, 6-5, 290, 5.3, Saint Paul (Minn.) Cretin Derham-Hall
Strikingly similar talents of current Michigan tackle Adam Stenavich

7. Ramone Johnson, 6-4, 315, 5.2, Chicago (Morgan Park)
#7 OL is the #1 prospect in the Land of Lincoln…Tough and talented

8. Brandon Jordan, 6-5, 290, 5.1, Merrillville (Ind.)
Illinois commitment could end up being the best in the crop of linemen

9. Bob Gulley, 6-4, 275, 5.2, Berea, Ohio
Stock on the rise…Impressive effort at the (Akron) Scout.com combine

10. Jarrod Smith, 6-4, 280, 5.2, Fairborn, Ohio
Exploded onto the scene with a strong performance at the (Akron) Scout.com All-American Combine…Jumped on an early offer from Indiana </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
