Reading college football prospects is far more challenging than tea leaves or tarot cards.
That being said, a pattern seems to be developing with Marlon Brown, a pattern that Tennessee coaches can't help but be encouraged by.
For instance, the 6-foot-5 205-pound receiver from Harding Academy in Memphis has only taken one trip to inspect one of the many colleges that have offered him a scholarship. That trip was to Knoxville late last month. No other trips are scheduled.
After meeting with UT's coaches and seeing its campus, Brown even goes so far as to say he could see himself playing for the Vols.
But just when it seems like the clouds in the crystal ball are parting, Brown is quick to point out that UT isn't leading for his services. No one is.
"Right now, I'm just wide open," said Brown, who many believe is the top prospect in the state.
