So back to david jones, I just think we don't offer. Too much talent out there that will commit to us.

I just watched the youtube video.

YouTube - David Jones - South Pittsburg HS - 2007 highlights

I have to admit this kid looks impressive. I like the fact that he is more of a mid-field runner and doesn't run to the sidelines all the time. He looks good on defense too. His weight, height, forty time, vertical, bench press and even GPA looks good. He seems like a dream recruit.

The only thing that would make me a little hesitant is that he plays for a 1A school. You can't help but wonder if he faces weak competition. I am not saying he does, but we have seen this before. (Chris Donald for example - although I think he will make a good player at UT in time). Other than this, Jones looks great!

Everyone says Brown is overhyped because of weak competition and inferior HS talent. Jones is in 1A. Those are very small schools.

Brown plays weaker competition.

That's what I am saying. This is the part that worries me too. I guess you never know though. Sometimes, big things come in a small package.

D2 1a. The upper classification of Division 2 is possibly the toughest in the state. It's the exact opposite for the lower class.

Possibly. I think guys that come out of Division IIA are the best suited to face competition at collegiate level quickest. This guy may be something special, just don't want him to be a wasted scholly because he looked good against weak competition.

DIIA has no easy games. Except for BGA. I think Brown will come around.

I am not totally sold on Brown either for this reason. I hope we get him, I am not saying that. But for anyone that thinks he is a first year, or even a second year impact player, I am afraid may get disappointed. Of course, this is just my opinion.

Concurred. But he might hear this mess we talk about and be motivated. Sounds queer, but who knows.

I think he should commit today and prove us wrong, don't you?

That would be the approach to take. Let's hope he checks out VolNation every once in a while
