I just looked at scout.com and OSU isn't listed as a school of interest. Did he cut OSU from his list already?

Scout and Rivals profiles are not always kept up to date...

By Bill Kurelic...Brown trimmed his list to 17 and Ohio State made the cut. He plans on cutting it down again at the end of June but indicates Ohio State will make that cut as well. Plans on taking all of his official visits.

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.
Andy Staples, SI.com

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.

News Sentinel Top 10 in Tennessee, No. 1: Marlon Brown of Harding Academy
Harding Academy receiver top prospect in Tennessee
By Dave Hooker (Contact)

Harding Academy football star Marlon Brown.
Tennessee fans are not going to like what they are about to read about Marlon Brown.

First, Brown is one of the elite prospects in the nation and the News Sentinel's selection for the No. 1 prospect in the state.

Rivals ranks the Harding Academy receiver from Memphis as the No. 2 receiver in the nation and the 17th-best prospect overall. Scout ranks Brown as the country's third-best receiver and the 27th-best prospect overall.

Wait, what's wrong with that? Just wait Vol fans.

Brown has visited West Coast schools, such as Southern Cal, UCLA and Stanford. All have offered him a scholarship, along with countless other schools.

Brown's recruitment is eerily familiar to that of Patrick Turner, the receiver from Goodpasture High School in Nashville who picked Southern Cal over UT in a heated recruiting battle in 2005.

Like Turner, Brown is highly rated and strongly considering USC.

Think distance is a factor?

"Not at all," the 6-foot-5, 205-pounder said. "I just really don't care about going far for college."
