Free 24/7 - Bealoved Brown talks LSU decision

With big sister now on board with LSU, where does that leave little brother as the recruiting calendar flips to the 2014 class?

"I know Tony's going to have all the pressure on him now that I decided, so I feel for him on that," Brown said with a laugh. "My decision is one I feel good about, and I wanted to sit it out for a while and see where Tony's head was at and what my mom thought. The more I thought about it, the more my head hurt.

"Why not go to my dream school? So I went ahead and decided on LSU.

"I know Tony likes LSU, and my family feels good about my decision. I know he will make the right decision for him and feel good about it."

247 Free - Tony Brown: Making his family proud

5/28

Brown has over 30 scholarship offers from nearly every major college powerhouse program. However, in an interview over the weekend, Brown said he is not admitting to any favorites.

?I really don?t have a list,? he said. ?I will sit down and come up with a list probably in July.?

The schools that are primarily mentioned with Brown include LSU, Alabama, Florida State, Ohio State, Texas and Texas A&M.

Last fall, Brown saw Alabama play Michigan outside Dallas and also attended games at LSU, Texas and Texas A&M. This winter and spring, he made unofficial visits to Texas, Alabama, Florida State, LSU and Baylor. An Ohio State assistant has also made recruiting visits this past month to see Brown in his hometown.

The 247Sports.com Crystal Ball has 20 predictions for Brown?s college choice and it is unanimous that he will verbal to LSU.

"It would be cool going to the same school (as his sister)," Brown told the Beaumont Enterprise in a recent interview. "I know we're being recruited by the same school and I'm looking at that school highly. It doesn't really change anything because they were already high on my list."

During the most recent interview with 247Sports.com, Brown spoke in general terms about what he is looking for in a school.

?First and foremost, I want to know their plans for me,? Brown said. ?I am a track runner and I do want to compete in the hurdles. I am graduating early. It will also be about how I feel there and how my mom feels there. It will be a very important decision for me and my parents.

?How good their track team is matters as well. I?m also looking at it from an academic standpoint. I?m not really worried about playing time. I feel wherever I go I can earn a spot. That?s how every player should feel.?

It is understandable that family considerations will factor into Brown?s decision. According to Coach Magee, Brown?s father had recovered enough to attend one of his track meets earlier in May.

?He is recovering and he is doing better,? Magee said. ?He was able to come to the regional track meet and could see him compete.?
