I've agreed with a lot of what you've said lately, but that is something I can't agree with...maybe you can get HotMic to back you on that one. I've seen both in person and while Brown may put on a better show at a combine, Barnett is head and shoulders above Brown (as a CB...in pads) in my book. I like this offer more than I do the one to Clarke, who does not look like a CB to me.

CB - Barnett
CB - Brown
CB - McGee (possible ATH)
S - Wood
S - Emilien
S - Hunter or Banks

What a DB class...especially if some guys leave early (Russell or Amos)...

From McGee thread...

Scout $

5/13

Says he is pretty wide open and will probably wait until January to make a decision. Says that if schools don't offer him as a CB, he won't even consider them. Says Ohio State is one of his top schools, but wouldn't reveal the other schools.

You have seen them in person.. so u probably know better than I do.. im going off the footage available.. and i see Corey Brown as an advanced technician as a CB..

He plays the ball extremely well.. knows when you sit down and play the underneath route (great adjustments on the fly).. and he does something that CJ really does not right now.. and that is come up and crush receivers.. The only thing he lacks is speed.. but he makes up for it right now with great instincts..

I dunno.. im just very impressed with what Ive seen and read about him.. his highlight reel is play after play of great ball skills (breakin up passes) combined with the ability to come up and deliver big hits..

He shutdown Logan Heastie at the 7 on 7 a month and a half ago.. and then he follows it up with winning MVP at the PSU camp at the CB position..

Regardless of who is better... getting two big corners with cover skills like Barnett and Brown would be very nice

LOVE, LOVE LOVE this offer. I've been hoping this one would be going out, so i'm really happy. That said, I just can't put him over Barnett. For as big of a Brown pimp as I am, i'm an even bigger Barnett pimp. #1 player in Ohio IMO.

Like I've been saying since the start though, this WILL be the top ranked DB class in the nation....no questions asked.

Lots of love going on in this thread so I might as well keep it going...

I am with Wad and hotmic like Barnett better...I was down on Brown just a little due to the fact that he wasn't getting offered by the staff...The staff had seen him, watching Hale and Bell, and then Bell begged the staff to get him an offer...There must of been something in the new film that they liked...

I am with Hotmic as well being that this is going to be the best DB class in the country...I am not a huge Banks fan...Think that Hunter is the better prospect by far, and think that he could be the best safety prospect in the state, over Wood and Turner, but that is for another thread...

Barnett, Brown, McGee, Hunter, Vlad, Wood...That is just sick...That is after losing out on Givens who was a stud, and you still have the best class...:biggrin:

I really like this offer. Brown looks great at the combines, I like his frame, and he has excellent ball skills. On top of that, he is versatile. No way Brown is better than Barnett imo but nontheless, he would/will be a great pickup for us.

However, I am very confused and for the same reason 40 mentioned. They have seen plenty of Brown and just now they offer? Right after Clarke? There are a TON of offers going out. However, this ensures us a 2nd pure corner, coming with likely a combo athlete in McGee. Beyond the confusion though, I really love this offer.

Was this meant to say Washington instead of Amos?

Actually it should of said both...there is talk that Washington, Amos and Russell could all be looking at going pro if they have solid 2008s...way too early to be talking about that (and the wrong thread as well) but worth noting as to why the staff seem to be loading up on DBs.

It seems the staff wants this class done as soon as possible (sans a few that you will HAVE to wait it out for).

You can be a CB first and foremost and still dabble in other spots.
