Mr. Brown seems like an intelligent kid with a good head on his shoulders. It sounds like his trip to the 40 this week was purely for academics. This certainly garners respect.
I’m not going to bad mouth ‘Bama as a university, but this is the institution that delayed a SEMESTER for a football game. You would never see that at UT. We didn’t even get a travel day for Easter while I was in school quite recently.
Professors holding classes at UT on OU Weekend Friday is a whole tread on to itself. Texas obviously takes academics very seriously, and Bama not as much.
Texas and Bama both will get Malcolm into the league. Savior at Texas or the guy that came right after Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson? Combined with the hour drive from home, this is an easy decision that I would like to see made soon. Hook ‘em. Can’t wait to see Malcolm and GG together in 2011.

… about these ‘we know what is going to happen’ recruiting analysts. Most of the information they put out there is kind of BS, and shots in the air like you or I would take.
Getting it from the horse’s mouth is what matters. And last I checked, Malcolm said to a SA newspaper that UT and Bama were the two leaders.
So lets stick to that.
These guys come out and say stuff and its mostly fluff. They need the hits to get the dough and so they do so. NO WHERE has he justified how he knows Bama is out. These empty statements really piss me off since its not journalism, its speculation. Its amazing that most people dont call BS to these kind of unjustified statements.
You guys think the writer knows better than Malcolm himself?

Sorry for the rant, I might have gone overboard :)

The first two don’t sound like good news for the Horns.

Austin (Texas) High wide receiver Cayleb Jones, a 2012 prospects, took recent visits to Miami and North Carolina, and was blown away by the Hurricanes. One of the top prospects for his class in Texas, Jones does not have any connection to the Texas Longhorns, so he isn’t a lock to stay home. Texas is among his favorites, but he lives in Austin mainly because his father, former NFL linebacker Robert Jones, played for the Cowboys for many years. Jones’ dad was coached by Miami head man Randy Shannon as well as North Carolina’s Butch Davis, so a connection is in place at both schools. Jones is hoping to make an early decision.

Speaking of LSU and cornerbacks, Carrollton (Texas) Hebron’s David Jenkins could commit to LSU next week at camp.

Dallas Smith tight end Chris Barnett has Arkansas and Oklahoma high on his list, but the Sooners aren’t really recruiting him that hard. Barnett apparently is interested in Miami now after playing against a lot of south Florida prospects at the Badger Sports 7-on-7 who were talking up the ’Canes. He could take an official visit to Miami sometime during or after the season, and he likes the tight end tradition in Coral Gables.

The Jesus over at Recruitocosm has bumped Malcolm Brown’s odds of committing to 100%. Bad news on Rasco and Aaron Green, though.
