It's because to say so would genuinely be premature. I'll see Aaron tomorrow and pick his brain. I know what George thinks. lol!

My opinion, he might be a bit scared of the competition at o-line.
The way the o-line has been playing, no one would have thought they would have been playing that good and we only lose two good seniors so, he might be thinking elsewhere. like vick will be there next year, lol he's gone after this season
I see him as a d-liner but, kids that good get first choice.

A few thoughts on this somewhat unusual recruitment:
Aaron Brown is going to be a star offensive lineman. His body has not yet matured but he has a great frame and most S&C coaches would jump at the chance to shape his body when he gets into a top notch D1 weight room. His technique and tenacity are not yet elite (and that's where the enticing prospect of his upside comes in) but that will come with time as he matures and figures out how good he can be. He's not as far along as Connor Smith at this juncture but that doesn't mean he can't develop into a stud in 2-3 years.
As for the official visit for the Texas game, I hope the Browns have factored into account the magnitude of that game (biggest non-conf. game since Notre Dame in '95) and the strain that preparing for that game placed on the coaching staff's time and energy. If anything, that should prove that the Buckeye coaches are focused on winning big games more than anything. If big games were simply an environment to host big recruiting weekends rather than focus on winning the game, mediocre programs like NC State, Florida (under Zook), and Pitt would be ideal for blue-chip recruits.
Finally, do you think the coaching staff has had some trepidation because of the parallels between Aaron Brown's recruitment and Derek Morris' a few years ago? Namely, the over-involvement of the student-athlete's parent/family. While I'm sure all of us want what's best for our kids, we sometimes need to draw the line as to what our involvement as parents are. Are we looking out for the best for our kids, or are we attempting to live vicariously through them while not giving them the best possible guidance? That's something a lot of parents grapple with at one point or another in their lives.
However this turns out, good luck to Aaron. He is a fine young man and he will succeed wherever he goes. If it is a good fit for both sides, hopefully that means the Bucks!

Gary Housteau remains optimistic that he could end up at all four schools of interest at this point...FWIW.

How did Aaron look against Colerain last night?
Saw Colerain won pretty big. Colerain seems like there's no question, they are the class of SWO.

No BuckWrestler141, I was asking a question if he was supose to commit to OSU this week and I mentioned that his HS team lost this weekend.
I have spoken to him once as his parents called me with a general NCAA Clearinghouse question.
I watched tape on him with an Ohio evaluator of talent, who felt from conversations with his head coach, two weeks ago that Brown would be a Buckeye.
He was interviewed by two people who I talked to. They did not get any indication as to where he was going.
I do not have any inside information or knowledge on him.

St. X may be the class of SWO this year. The Bombers look like the real deal.
Brown seemed fired up for this matchup, but the offense for Princeton did nothing against Colerain 1st teamers. I found it curious that Princeton ran every single play away from Aaron Brown's side of the ball. You'd think if you have a horse like AB that you'd try to use him and run behind him.
When AB was on defense he lined up across from Connor Smith a couple of times. Smith got a good push and several of Trammell Williams long runs came behind Connor as he locked down Brown.
AB will be a project, for sure.
