Jaron Brown Thread(commits to Clemson)

[MACXIMVS]

jaron is 100% g-cock i know his cuz and cliff prob has something to do with it too....
jb is a cock:happycoc:

[donbgamecock]

So is this supposed to mean something or do you want everyone to play fifty questions? Not everyeveryone knows your crypto.

[duckhuntersc]

So is this supposed to mean something or do you want everyone to play fifty questions? Not everyeveryone knows your crypto.umm... i think its pretty obvious... Jaron Brown is going to be a gamecock.

[donbgamecock]

Now I get it. There is someone with the unique name of Brown who plays a sport, musical insturment, or something who is going to be a GC. Its going to be a great year.

[Juice4Bruce]

dont know too much about him but here's the rivals link http://southcarolina.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?pr_key=52897&sport=1
rival's 40 time on this kid isn't too impressive but I know how all the stats can be skewed. But i doupt SOS would offer him if he wasn't a potentially great athlete though - not doupting him at all
Sorry if I wasn't much help

[cracker2]

His aunt told me he favors FSU, then Clempson. FWIW

Brown To See USC, Others This Week

By Phil Kornblut
On Recruiting
Published: June 10, 2007

WR Jaron Brown (6-3 190) of Cheraw hits the road this week for three campus visits. Brown said he will attend a camp at USC Monday or Tuesday, and he will make unoffiial visits to West Virginia and Kentucky on Thursday and Friday. He also plans to make an unofficial visit to Tennessee this month. Brown does not have an individual leader but he does have a top five of USC, Clemson, West Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky. Brown said USC and West Virginia are recruiting him the hardest. "I hear from South Carolina every day," he said. He has offers from USC, Clemson, Tennessee, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Duke and West Virginia.


Any word on the young man?

[MACXIMVS]

anybody heard anything on him ...
is it ok to talk to him, what do yall think i spoke to his cuz the other day.

[kda]

I talked to a HS FB head coach this weekend and he said that J. Brown is the "real deal."

[big cock fan]

This kid is way faster then his posted 40 time on rivals. If you watch his vids, he just takes off and looks to be a very physical player. He looks like most UT wr's ones that are physical and know how to block downfield. I would love to keep this kid instate.

[Gamecockfanatic4]

umm I don't know if we will go after him hard our main WR targets are Lawrence, Whitlock, DL Moore, and Streeter I think

[roosterrizk1]

I think we take Brown before DL Moore. There has also but rumors he is a silent commit as well.

[MACXIMVS]

his cuz gave me his number and wanted me to call him, because we ask about him and like cliff matthews alot.
he got my son a high school program from cliffs and jarons game

[Will4144]

If we get T.J. Lawrence, Charles Whitlock, D.L. Moore, and Tommy Streeter, I think we'll squeeze in room for Jaron Brown. Jaron could be a great DB too.

[Rooster3233]

his cuz gave me his number and wanted me to call him, because we ask about him and like cliff matthews alot.
he got my son a high school program from cliffs and jarons game

I would call USC first and find out if thats not some sort of silly rules violation. I don't think it would be but you are considered a "booster" so I don't know.

[Will4144]

It's probably not safe to call him, unless you don't mention any bias towards the University.

Brown To Watch Clemson Saturday

By Phil Kornblut
WR Jaron Brown (6-3 190) of Cheraw didn't make it to the USC-Florida game last weekend, but he plans to be at Clemson this Saturday for the Boston College game. This will be his first ever game at Death Valley. "I expect the guys to get after it," Brown said. "They are coming off a good win." Brown has made two unofficial visits to USC and one to Tennessee. And he has scheduled official visits to USC November 30th and Tennessee January 11th. He also will set official visits with Clemson and West Virginia. He does not have a favorite. "I'm taking it slow," he said. "South Carolina and West Virginia are recruiting me the hardest." Brown said all of his favorites are recruiting him as a receiver, and Tennessee also has talked to him about playing safety. The Shrine Bowl pick has 23 catches for 520 yards and has scored a total of 11 touchdowns this season.

Brown Experiences Clemson

By Phil Kornblut
WR Jaron Brown (6-3 190) of Cheraw made his ever trip to Clemson for a football game Saturday when the Tigers tangled with Boston College. "It was loud and crazy," Brown said. He spent most of his time with his friend, Clemson walk on receiver Phillip Ashe. He also talked briefly with Tommy Bowden and Dabo Swinney. Brown also has made unofficial visits to USC and Tennessee. He plans to attend the Clemson at USC game this Saturday night. He has scheduled an official visit to USC for November 30th but that will have to be changed if his team makes it to the 2A state title game. He has an official visit with Tennessee set for January 1th. He also plans to set officials with Clemson and West Virginia. Brown said USC is recruiting him strictly as a receiver while Clemson likes him for receiver and safety. "I prefer playing receiver but I wouldn't mind playing safety," he said. In last Friday's win over Dillon Brown had two interceptions and forced one fumble.

[big cock fan]

this kid will be a great player on either side of the ball, hope we dont lose him.

[roosterrizk1]

Gamecock !!!

[Gamecockfanatic4]

Hopefully Cliff will give him a little talk to help him out. he'd be a good pick-up

[MACXIMVS]

man his cuz gave me his home number but i cant call him....
his cuz told me he thinks he's a cock maybe ????

[Rice Rice Baby]

^ lets hope!

[Will4144]

Numbers are getting tight. If he wants in on the future SEC Championship Train, he better jump on.

Brown In Attendance For The Game

By Phil Kornblut
WR Jaron Brown (6-3 190) of Cheraw was among the many prospects making an unofficial visit Saturday night to USC for the Clemson game. "It was great," Brown said. "I knew that game was going to be great. The fans really get into it. It was one of the best games I've attended all year. I wasn't rooting for any team in particular. I was just hoping the best team would win. I was watching the slot receivers and the different plays they run." Brown said he talked briefly with USC recruiter David Reaves before the game. Brown was scheduled for an official visit to USC this Friday but will have to reschedule because he's playing in the 2A state championship game in Columbia Saturday. He has set official visits to Tennessee for January 11th and Clemson January 18th. He also will set a date wirh West Virginia. He does not have a favorite. "I'm just anxious for my official visits and I'm really looking forward to those," Brown said. He added that the outcome of the USC-Clemson game has no bearing on his thinking about those two schools.

[Rice Rice Baby]

^ sounds pretty good, really hope we can land this kid!

[Will4144]

Definitely sounds good. I'd like to have this guy at WR or S.

Cheraw won, and Mr. Brown lit it up.

[donbgamecock]

http://www.thestate.com/preps/story/245848.html

Cheraw won, and Mr. Brown lit it up.


Jaron Brown, Cheraw’s two-way Shrine Bowl selection, scored on a 15-yard pass from quarterback Josh Henderson in the second period, then bolted for a 44-yard rushing score on Cheraw’s first offensive play of the third quarter. On defense, he also had half a dozen tackles and a 48-yard interception return for a touchdown in the third quarter.

.

[Barry_gamecock]

He was the most impressive players I saw all day at the state championships. This guy can really take the ball to the house when he gets some daylight. I think its a great idea to put him at WR. Great size as well. I realllllllllllllllly hope we get this guy!!! He can flat out get it done!

[Ga_Gamecock]

who would you compare his play to, Barry?

How fast does he look out there? Shifty? Fast?

[Will4144]

I'm not Barry, but if I had to compare him to a player we currently have, I'd say Brandon Isaac.

is he going to play D?

[Will4144]

is he going to play D?

We're recruiting him as a WR, but I think he ultimately ends up at Safety, or maybe even CB.

Brown Says Clemson Leads

By Phil Kornblut
WR Jaron Brown (6-3 190) of Cheraw said Sunday night Clemson is out front of USC right now as he tries to sort out his recruiting. "I'm leaning more towards the in state schools right now," Brown said. "And I'm leaning more towards Clemson right now but I have to see how the whole thing turns out. I'm looking at receiver depth and the chance to play early." Brown was visited last week by recruiters from Clemson, USC, Tennessee and West Virginia. Clemson recruiter Dabo Swinney plans to visit with his parents Tuesday while Brown is in Spartanburg with the Shrine Bowl team. Brown plans to make official visits to USC January 11th, Clemson on the 18th and Tennessee on the 25th and is working to set up a visit to West Virginia.



sounds like he will end up signing with them if playing time is a factor. its going to be real tough for just about anyone to come in and find playing time following the #1 wr recruiting class in the nation the previous year.



i hope we get streeter and lawrence, both of who are rated 4 stars and prove it on film

[Will4144]

Good luck and good riddance to Jaron. I hope he lights up the EZZ.

Looks like we'll be ready to take a commitment from D.L. Moore, and just in time.

[Hippiegamecock]

Good luck and good riddance to Jaron. I hope he lights up the EZZ.

Good riddance? I haven't seen anything to say he's committed to anywhere, or do you know something more than what's been said here? And even if he did, good riddance isn't the right way accept his commitment somewhere else anyway. I'd take him if he's wise enough to change his mind but he appears to be just a lean at this point.

[roosterrizk1]

A good player that is a better Safety Prospect than WR IMO. He wants early PT at WR and he will get it much quicker at Clemson than USC. While we would like to sign them all we cannot and I am not really even sure how hard we have pursued this kid knowing he wants to be a WR. Hey, at least he's staying instate. If we get Moore, Lawrence, and Streeter, to go along with the WR Recuits from last year, its kinda hard to blame him for looking elsewhere. USC depth chart according to the stars - we have allot of star lovers on this board - would be awful scary for some HS Recruit. Throw in Whitlock - who I still say is the best player instate - and Moore,Lawrence, and Streeter - even if we only get two of those three - and I can understand his thinking. I wish the kid the best until the last game.....

Why in the world would anyone say something like that, unbelievably negative, regardless what school they go to? These guys have to make major decisions that affect their complete futures. I'd rather wish them all luck, and to the ones who don't come to Carolina, looking forward to beating you guys in the future.

[Barry_gamecock]

Sorry I havent responded sooner. I would say hes more a speed guy. Not really shifty. Hes got a geat top end stride. He leaves people once he gets going. I would compare him to that good receiver from Tennessee last season. I forget his name. He is fairly good sized and really fast. I hope he doesnt go to Clemson. Im telling you guys....after watching him in the state title game he is going to be an amazing college football player.

[Barry_gamecock]

Also I think USC is a much better place to go for a wide receiver since Spurrier is here. Youre always gonna get a chance with Spurrier. He will let anybody play. And seeing as how Dion was the only freshman receiver who really stepped up this season, I would say Jaron has good reason to come here. Or, he can go catch screens and block for the running backs at Clemson.

[Barry_gamecock]

Sorry to post three times in a row...but I think this guy is going to be the next big time "low star" recruit out of this state. His 40 is at least a 4.5, but if anything I would attribute that to not having amazing acceleration....once he gets going though...his 40 once he has run about 5 yards is as fast as anyones...he can really go.

he will be wearing purple next season...gross

[roosterrizk1]

I was at the game as well. I think 4.5 is a little generous....way generous. While he was running away from Chapman DB's those guys aren't burners. He looks more like a 4.6 -4.7 type at best. I am pretty sure his best 40 time is in the 4.6 range...regardless... he is a very good player and Sidney Rice is showing everyone that you don't have to be a burner to be a NFL stud. Like I said, he is a great looking prospect but I understand his logic on depth charts...

Brown Still Calling Clemson Favorite

By Phil Kornblut
WR Jaron Brown (6-3 190) of Cheraw will be one of the starting receivers for the Sandlappers Saturday in the Shrine Bowl. Brown had said earlier this month he was favoring Clemson and he repeated that position after practice Thursday. "I'm kind of looking at the receiver depth and that sort of thing," Brown said. "I still have a top four of Clemson, USC, West Virginia and Tennessee." Brown has scheduled official visits to Tennessee for January 11th and Clemson January 18th. He was scheduled to visit USC November 30th but had to play in the state championship game that weekend. He plans to reset that visit soon. As for other criteria he's considering in looking at the schools, Brown said some of those are, "The coaching staff. You know, I think that's key. And overall success rate of the program. And academics are a major key as well." Brown said he plans to make his decision in mid-January.

http://www.goupstate.com/article/20071213/PSPORTS02/71214005/-1/PSPORTS

[MACXIMVS]

man i just talked to his cuz and he scored a td and had about 70 + yards i think......he is looking hard elsewhere, there is still a chance he will be a gamecock.
his cuz got a shrine bowl program and got jaron to sign it for my son ....
best of luck to him where ever he may go !!!

[FLgamecockJAX]

He seems to be worried about WR depth. If thats his reasoning, there's not much we can do. Look at how many great WR's SOS had at UF and he used them also. SOS will always try to have many great WR's. 5 WR sets shuffling in and out to keep fresh legs provides opportunity for many. If someone doesn't want to be a part of that, there's nothing to say.

[Barry_gamecock]

Like I said, he is a great looking prospect but I understand his logic on depth charts...

I dont guess theres anything we can really do to prove this. Like I said...I dont think he accelerates fast like a running back, but at top end he is very fast with a great effecicent stride. And I would suspect that Chapman has some dbs that can run a 4.6. If he only runs a 4.6-4.7 then a 4.6 -4.7 was the fastest person on the field for either team that day. I watched Charles Whitlock play and I didnt think he was as fast as Jaron Brown.

[Barry_gamecock]

Also, it appears he was fast enough to get it done today in the Shrine Bowl as well.

[roosterrizk1]

You don't have to be a blazer to get open and catch jump balls, ask Sidney Rice. Brown is no doubt a good player and we would like to have him but if he is looking at depth at the position there's not much we can do about that. Love to see him in Garnet and Black no doubt. No way he is as fast as Whitlock...

[yShalabi]

No thats his shuttle time, rivals say he runs a 4.77 forty.

Forties arent run well by high school athletes unless theyve had good track coaches.

A good forty speed requires a blazing first step and reaction to that gun that could only be trained through track. Sometimes these football players dont even play track so who knows.

He ran a good shuttle time tho.

[Barry_gamecock]

Yall need to see this guy play in person. If he goes to Clemson Im gonna remind you all of this thread when hes running past our db's.

[roosterrizk1]

I guess we'll have to see about that won't we ......

[CaptainCrunch]

Jaron sure did look good yesterday, hope he commits to the gamecocks

[ConwayGamecock]

He seems to be worried about WR depth. If thats his reasoning, there's not much we can do. Look at how many great WR's SOS had at UF and he used them also. SOS will always try to have many great WR's. 5 WR sets shuffling in and out to keep fresh legs provides opportunity for many. If someone doesn't want to be a part of that, there's nothing to say.

Have the Gamecocks played a 5 WR set play during Spurriers' time here?

[FLgamecockJAX]

Have the Gamecocks played a 5 WR set play during Spurriers' time here?

I don't recall many at all. We haven't had the talent to run a 5 WR set. We were a running team when SOS arrived. We haven't had the blocking or 5 WR's that knew how to run great routes. Maybe we will see some 5 WR sets next year. SOS used to run plenty of them at UF. I'm sure he hasn't forgotten them.

To run a 5 WR set like he did at UF, you need to have plenty of WR depth. I hope we are at the beginning of that road! We had problems finding a #2 guy this year. This is why I don't understand a player worrying about our depth at WR. Yes, the roster looks good for the potential starting in 2008. But after 2007, if I'm confident and a big time player, I would feel great about competing on this roster at WR.

The more we have, the better!

[Will4144]

Have the Gamecocks played a 5 WR set play during Spurriers' time here?

With our wide receiver depth, it would've probably been something like... Kenny McKinley, Freddie Brown, Moe Brown, Mike West, and Tommy Beecher.

haha

New article on Rivals. Anyone know who Jaron's new leader is, someone who has a subscription?

[BigRedCock]

yeah i saw that too and been wondering the same thing
little help someone?

[happygilmore527]

I don't have a subscription but I thought Kornblut's last update mentioned he had Clemson ahead of us at the moment.

[BigRedCock]

I don't have a subscription but I thought Kornblut's last update mentioned he had Clemson ahead of us at the moment.
ahhh.......now that you mention that.....it does sound familar.
came out earlier this week or last week i believe.
damn. oh well....i'd rather have streeter and lawrence anyday
thanks anyways

[Will4144]

I don't have a subscription but I thought Kornblut's last update mentioned he had Clemson ahead of us at the moment.

But that's been like a week ago. Rivals is reporting there is a NEW leader. Maybe they are just really late?

[atrain3067]

But that's been like a week ago. Rivals is reporting there is a NEW leader. Maybe they are just really late?

Just what I was wonderin'

[BigRedCock]

Possibly. Phil K's last article about Jaron was on Dec 14th....last Friday. But I doubt anything's changed in the short amount of time. Hope I'm wrong though. Anyone with a subscription that can give us a definite 'yes' or 'no'???

[CoverTwo]

It's Clemson with South Carolina in a close 2nd.

Says he probably wont leave the Palmetto State.

[Will4144]

Thanks, CoverTwo... and thanks to Rivals for their week old news. haha

[atrain3067]

Thanks, CoverTwo... and thanks to Rivals for their week old news. haha

Really.

[roosterrizk1]

I think it will take a slew of WR's to actually run Spurriers Spread. We do have some numbers but that's what its going to take to run the Cock n Fire at its best. If I am a WR, Spurrier's system has to be attractive....

[MACXIMVS]

he's a cock people ....cuz just told me

[MACXIMVS]

just talked to his cuz and wv is out of it...
he's going to drop off some autographs from the shrine bowl

[atrain3067]

he's a cock people ....cuz just told me

Hope so, any word on when he'll officially announce.

[MACXIMVS]

Hope so, any word on when he'll officially announce.

no ill try to get it from him tonite but i like to stay out of it,if you know what i mean

[atrain3067]

no ill try to get it from him tonite but i like to stay out of it,if you know what i mean

word. 'preciate it macximvs.

[big cock fan]

we could put this guy at a number of positions, we just need his athletic ability on the field, and thats basically what clemson is telling him.

[SClawman]

Hope Cliff is throwing in a good word for us.

[Will4144]

Hope Cliff is throwing in a good word for us.

That's what I thought would make him a Gamecock lock.

Brown Makes Visit Adjustments

By Phil Kornblut
WR Jaron Brown (6-3 190) of Cheraw has added USC to his official visit calendar for January while temporarily removing Tennessee. Brown has set a visit to USC for January 11th. He will go to Clemson the following weekend. He plans to reset his visit to Tennessee and he might schedule a visit to Michigan. He spoke with new Michigan head coch Rich Rodriguez last week. "He seems pretty happy in Ann Arbor," Brown said of Rodriquez who had recruited him while he was at West Virginia. "He was just moving in and telling me about the coaching staff. He said he wanted to give me an opportunity to look at things Michigan and come up for an official visit. I'm still leaning towards Clemson but I have to see how things work out with my official visits. But I'm mainly looking at USC and Clemson."

http://www.goupstate.com/article/20071226/PSPORTS02/202051664/-1/PSPORTS

[Gamecockfanatic4]

I'd love to get this guy just as much as Streeter or Lawrence

[Will4144]

I'd love to have Jaron at safety, but I'm not sure how good of a WR he'd make.

[NastyNash]

So im guessing from what it said on the rivals page and a poster on here, we stole Brown from clemson

[ConwayGamecock]

So im guessing from what it said on the rivals page and a poster on here, we stole Brown from clemson

I don't think Brown has actually committed yet, so we'll have to wait on coming to that conclusion...

[roosterrizk1]

Actually USC led for Brown much longer than Clemson.

[Gamecockfanatic4]

the new Rivals article on him got me interested can someone summarize?

[big cock fan]

clemson leads at this time is basically all it says right now.

[big cock fan]

but clemson is really going after him as a safety but then today they just got two commits from tall safety's so who knows.

[Will4144]

but clemson is really going after him as a safety but then today they just got two commits from tall safety's so who knows.

But they claim they want him as a wide receiver... just as they did Tremaine Billie ("we want you as a RB" and he plays LB).

[87Cock09]

He said they are recruiting him as either a WR or S

[jstrom]

I read today that hiring BVG has changed everything for Carolina...seems this guy is very close to being a COCK! now.

[UgSaCmecocks]

wonder if we get this kid

[87Cock09]

Clemson has gotten like 3 commitments from safetys in the last couple days so thats gotta help lol.

[Ga_Gamecock]

I read today that hiring BVG has changed everything for Carolina...seems this guy is very close to being a COCK! now.

where did u read htis? i have seen or heard an update

[Will4144]

I read today that hiring BVG has changed everything for Carolina...seems this guy is very close to being a COCK! now.

I hope you're right. He would make a very good free safety and a good enough corner. He would probably even get a shot at playing a little offense. If Darrell Simmons moves to OLB like some are predicting, Jaron Brown could be our FS of the near future. Simmons may even be the SS. I think Jay Spearman will end up at CB instead of safety.

[MACXIMVS]

man me and his cuz was talking today and you heard it here,he will be a cock !!!

[87Cock09]

damn I hope so. Their is a rivals article from today where he says that Clemson is still his leader.

[Ga_Gamecock]

. I think Jay Spearman will end up at CB instead of safety.

me 2

he has cb size

[jstrom]

where did u read htis? i have seen or heard an update

It was an article from an interview...read it on Gamcock Central.

[MACXIMVS]

talked to his cuz last night and it looks like he's going to be a cock.
rich rodriguez has invited him up to mich next week.
clemson does not have a shot or is out of it according to him ...

Brown Ready To Check Out Clemson

By Phil Kornblut
ATH Jaron Brown (6-3 190) of Cheraw will be one of around 20 prospects making official visits to Clemson this weekend. Brown said his parents will join him on the trip. "I'm expecting a great weekend," he said. "I'm looking forward to spending time with the coaches and getting a chance to meet some of the other players." Brown said Clemson is recruiting him as an athlete who could play receiver or safety. USC and Michigan are recruiting him as a receiver. He will visit USC January 18th and Michigan on the 25th, and he said his focus is on the Tigers and Gamecocks with no favorite.
http://www.goupstate.com/article/20080109/PSPORTS02/372358687/-1/PSPORTS

[Will4144]

I hope Jaron puts up his red flag when Clemson says they are recruiting him as both, because most likely, it's a lie and they want him at safety.

I think in the long run, he'll end up at safety no matter he goes.

[athenscock2]

Sure hope he doesn't fall for Bowdown's bs and committ while he's there. Bowdown will lay it on thick.

[big cock fan]

i just dont have a good feeling about this guy, i think we will miss on him. This kid is a player, i hope we can pull it out.

[jstrom]

Does anyone think he'll look at all the upheaval going on upstate and factor it into his decision?

[FinchMcCrunkNasty]

I smell tater...

[mjmiller]

talked to his cuz last night and it looks like he's going to be a cock.
rich rodriguez has invited him up to mich next week.
clemson does not have a shot or is out of it according to him ...


Are you sure his cousin is Jaron Brown? Because it sounds like Clemson is still his favorite.

Spurrier Meets With Brown

By Phil Kornblut
USC head coach Steve Spurrier and assistant coach David Reaves met Tuesday afternoon with WR Jaron Brown (6-3 190) of Cheraw and his mother at the high school. "It was a brief meeting," Brown said. "My mom enjoyed it. She got to ask some questions about academics. Coach Spurrier said they are looking at me as a wide receiver. He said some of their current receivers will move to defensive back. He thinks I can learn their offense quickly and play next year." Brown will make his official visit to USC this weekend with his parents. He will visit Michigan on January 25th. His Michigan recruiter is scheduled to visit him Wednesday and Clemson recruiter Dabo Swinney is scheduled to be in on Thursday. Brown visited Clemson last weekend. He said he does not have a favorite.

[CoverTwo]

Clements, Culliver, Barnes = defensive backs?

Very, very possible IMO.

[Regalcock]

I would love to get Brown.I thought he was the second most talented receiver in the shrine bowl over Marquan Jones. Brown also looked like he could be a very good DB. His ball skills were great.

[Will4144]

Clements, Culliver, Barnes = defensive backs?

Very, very possible IMO.

I could see Mark Barnes and Chris Culliver going to the defense and maybe even more likely, Freddie Brown and Moe Brown... but I don't see Matt Clements going over there. I think that was just another internet rumor.

[kre25]

I hope Jaron puts up his red flag when Clemson says they are recruiting him as both, because most likely, it's a lie and they want him at safety.

I think in the long run, he'll end up at safety no matter he goes.

Just a question.

Isn't it SC that uses the ploy of offering every recruit that they can as a WR?

I think SC now has between 14 to 18 players on the roster that were recruited as WR's.

[87Cock09]

I could see Mark Barnes and Chris Culliver going to the defense and maybe even more likely, Freddie Brown and Moe Brown... but I don't see Matt Clements going over there. I think that was just another internet rumor.

Not just an internet rumor. He might not move, but the coaches are defintely considering it, and have mentioned it to him.

[roosterrizk1]

Clements is headed to Defense and I think you will see Barnes there as well. I don't think Spurrier is ready to give up on Culliver's speed on O just yet .....

[Will4144]

Not just an internet rumor. He might not move, but the coaches are defintely considering it, and have mentioned it to him.

Where have you heard this besides online?

[Regalcock]

I highly doubt Moe Brown to defense. He has to know the offense inside and out by now, time for some production from Moe. Is Moe a junior this year?

[roosterrizk1]

Yes Moe is a Junior. It would have helped him tremendously if he could have red shirted his Freshman year. Moe came on late in the season and if he gets his concentration down he could be a home run threat for us ....He gets major seperation ...

[Ga_Gamecock]

Jmo

But I think we get him

I also think we are trying to load up the D with aths

Eceyone bitches ant our OL but we put up a lot of points throughout the yr

IMO we need to upgrade the D and that looks to be the course we're on

Get a bunch of ballhawks n playmakers on D and everything will improve

Now we need to add a few more LBs and well b rolling

[cocky2007]

Freddie Brown's strength is hands, not speed. That wouldn't fit as well in a defensive back as it would a WR.

You make a good point, even the two yrs. we won with Lou it was mostly because of the D.

They could'nt stop 3 and 42 but we did make the other teams punt a lot with ballhawks like Willie Offord, Rashard Faison, Antoine Neismith etc..

[MACXIMVS]

i talked to his cuz today and sos meet with him last night, looks good but he still is going to see mich next weekend !

[FLgamecockJAX]

Any word on Jaron's visit? I haven't seen anything yet!

[CoverTwo]

I looked around and according to the people on Rivals, he had a sensational visit and wants to be a Gamecock but we are having trouble deciding whether or not to take him because of Streeter and Lawrence..We arent taking all 3 of them apparantly..

Really ?!

Where did u read that

[Will4144]

He had a very good visit, but didn't commit. He's still weighing his options. I think he's a slight lean to us, but Clemson is still in the picture.

[Jubjub Bird]

I looked around and according to the people on Rivals, he had a sensational visit and wants to be a Gamecock but we are having trouble deciding whether or not to take him because of Streeter and Lawrence..We arent taking all 3 of them apparantly..

FWIW, according to another board, if all three want to come, then all three are definite takes.

Lawrence is a slot receiver. Streeter and Brown would play on the outside. So they bring different things to the table.

Thats my thinking as well and is what im hearing from others in Cola ... SOS and BVG want playmakers. Streeter, TJ, and Brown def fit the bill

[Indiana Gamecock]

The way I read the information on Rivals is that we want all three, but are not expected to get all three. The insiders are saying that they are anticipating possibly getting two out of the three. TJ and Streeter rated the visits this weekend a 9.5 and a 10. I don't think they have got in touch with Jaron Brown yet. I do not think any of the coaches are holding off anyones commitment.

[roosterrizk1]

I think TJ is the one we may lose if we are to lose one. Streeter, who I think is our highest priority, will be a Gamecock. TJ I think is the one that is questionable to say the least at this point. I really feel Jaron is a Gamecock as well ... always has been a Gamecock ....

[87Cock09]

Yea we will take all 3, TM just doesn't think we can actually land all 3. If we land Streeter and Lawerence, Brown is probably going to Clemson. IF we miss out on either Streeter or Lawerence, Brown should come here. Brown is the one who is very concerned about the depth charts. I don't think its really a factor for Streeter or Lawerence.

[roosterrizk1]

Who is TM...? We are in very good shape with JB ..... I think TJ is the only one that is not 100% on board yet.

[87Cock09]

TM is GC guy

[roosterrizk1]

Tony Morrel ..... ok

[Curt Geezus]

Will you said:

But they claim they want him as a wide receiver... just as they did Tremaine Billie ("we want you as a RB" and he plays LB).

Then you said:

I could see Mark Barnes and Chris Culliver going to the defense and maybe even more likely, Freddie Brown and Moe Brown... but I don't see Matt Clements going over there. I think that was just another internet rumor.

If Spurrier moves any of these guys to defense(especially Culliver, who was a big time DB prospect before said he could play WR) how is it any different? You can't put down Bowden all the time for things that all coaches do, including Spurrier.

[roosterrizk1]

Curt, I agree with you for once ^^^^

[MACXIMVS]

just spoke to jaron's cuz tonite and the rich rodriguze just left his house .
jarons going up to mich this weekend, and as of now it looks good for us ....

IF it happens, the difference would be that Culliver actually played a full season as a WR. If I remember correctly, Billie didn't make it through the first 2 weeks of practice before he was playing defense.

[FLgamecockJAX]

Is Jaron willing to come in with Streeter, TJ and DL at WR? This would be another great WR class. I hope he does. He would be the speedster in that class. I've heard he's concerned with the depth chart, but I hope SOS has put his mind to ease with that. The best WILL play!:cocky:

This is the info I'm going with. SOS is recruiting all 3 too hard to only want 2. We may only get 2 from these 3, but it will be because one backed off. Not because we back off! If they all 3 want to be Gamecocks, they will be.

[Cock N Fire]

my fault thought I saw that somewhere I'd love to take them all
Im pretty sure I seen that somewhere too.

[roosterrizk1]

All three have written offers. You do not give written offers to players you may not want. I know they want all three. Its in writing and TJ and Brown can play Defense if needed. However, I think you will see more of last years class move to Defense than these guys.....

[Will4144]

I think Moe Brown (CB), Freddie Brown (FS), and Paul Haile may be tried out on defense before any of last year's recruits.

Moe continued to have trouble catching the ball this year, and a WR that can't catch a ball usually makes a CB.

Freddie Brown has decent hands, but still isn't running routes like he should... but the way Freddie has been able to block, I'd be convinced he could hit just as well.

I believe Mark Barnes will be the only guy from last year that we may see on defense. I don't think Matt Clements is going there. I think Chris Culliver will be still tryout at WR unless Spurrier seen that Culliver can't learn routes.

[roosterrizk1]

Spoke to Moe Browns half brother at one of the Pendleton Basketball games and he assured me that Moe is staying on offense. Moe just needs to get his confidence back, thats all. Freddy Brown is way way to slow for Defense, not happening. Paul Haile will not be a factor on Offense or Defense. Clements and Barnes will be the ones. Clements has the perfect hip movement to play CB.

Your post make perfect sense to me, except I did not know about Clements and defense. Moe knows the offense too well and stays out of trouble. He may ride the pine if he does not start holding on to the ball however.

with all of the young DBs who are proven commodities in the secondary, i dont think the browns are switching.

if anything, they may get buried in the depth chart at wr, but moe just needs some more development and freddie is a very solid possession wr type who needs a playmake opposite of him

if we can get a few WRs - a burner and a jumpball guy like sid - to step up, the entire WR corp and O will improve immensely. freddie has proven hands, but not great separation. if teams focus on other (bigger) O threats, then that will only open thisngs up more for him

and Just remember that Troys only productive season was year 3 (essentially one and done) and Sid's 3rd year in the program made him who he was.

So lets give moe and freddie the same time to develop. Im not holding my breath on them , since we have so much talent waiting in the wings, but im not writiing them off either.

The cock and fire is about to blow up, IMO

[Will4144]

Moe Brown's half brother wouldn't know; the coaches don't even know. Freddie Brown isn't too slow to play defense... he runs a solid 4.5-4.6. I agree that Paul Haile won't be much of a factor either way.

But I wish you'd quit mentioning Matt Clements to defense. He runs great routes and is a very good WR... the only other position he played in high school was QB. If the coaches said so, I'd love to see a link.

I don't know if Spurrier is ready to give up on Mark Barnes and Chris Culliver yet or not. He'll let us know.

[roosterrizk1]

I agree Moe needs to focus more. The kid gets open better than anyone we have but he has struggled to catch the ball. However, if you remember he played much better the last 3 games. It was unfortunate that Moe was not able to RS as a Freshman, so imo it was a year wasted. I think this spring we see a new and improved Moe Brown.

[Will4144]

and Just remember that Troys only productive season was year 3 (essentially one and done) and Sid's 3rd year in the program made him who he was.

I think Sidney made more of a name for himself in his second year. I think it was half or almost half of Sidney TD's in his last year came against Wofford or someone like that.

[roosterrizk1]

Rice was productive in both seasons .....

[Ga_Gamecock]

I think Sidney made more of a name for himself in his second year. I think it was half or almost half of Sidney TD's in his last year came against Wofford or someone like that.

Fr year = RS - injury in UGa warmup
RS Fr - good season
RS So - great season
Vikes (would-be heisman season LOL)

2nd season playing, 3rd year in the program, which was my point.

[Regalcock]

RS - injury in UGa warmup
RS Fr
RS So
Vikes

His RS Sopmore year was his most impressive imo. He lit up the best corner in all college ball (Houston from Arky). I thought the scouts should have been giving more credit for that. Noone lit up Houston all year except our boy. Rice Rice Baby!!

Man I wish he would've stayed one more year.

[Will4144]

His RS Fr was his best year.

2006: 72 catches, 10 TD, 1090 yards, 15.1 ypc, 2 100yard games (against Florida Atlantic and Wofford... 5 of his TD's against Florida Atlantic... he only scored in four games in 2006

2005: 70 catches, 13 TD, 1143 yards, 16.3 ypc, 5 100yard games (against Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Florida, Clemson... he scored in every game but Florida and Clemson

[Ga_Gamecock]

good find, but i wasnt debating his production ... just trying to make the point WRs need time to develop.

He was an unknown commodity his RS Fr year and took the SEC by storm. During his Soph year everyone knew who he was and tried to shut him down and he still put up gaudy #s

arent moe and fredddie both Jrs in 08?

Yeah... but with Sidney, I was showing that it's realistic that we should expect Jason Barnes and co. to produce at least a little next year.

Yeah, the Brown boys are both juniors in 08.

Brown Names A Leader

By Phil Kornblut
Cheraw WR Jaron Brown says that USC has a slight lead over Clemson as he gets ready for his official visit at Michigan. He had an in home visit with Michigan head coach Rich Rodriguez on Monday night. He will be in Ann Arbor this weekend. He has visited Clemson and USC already. Clemson assistant coaches Dabo Swinney and Tommy Bowden will be in Brown's home Thursday.

[eklypised]

^^Good news

[Cockholio]

With the latest news, I believe it will come down between us and Michigan. I sure hope it's us. He'll play immediately here, imo, and by the time he's a junior, LOOK OUT!

[Click]

Sounds to me like we'll get him. I'm surprised, thought Clemson was a lock from everything I had read, just a feeling I got.

[Will4144]

Great news. Another speedy receiver never hurt anyone (at least not on the same team)!

[Regalcock]

Great news. Another speedy receiver never hurt anyone (at least not on the same team)!

From what I saw in the Shrine game he looked like he could play offense or Defense. He was the second best receiver in the game. I thought Marquan Jones was third. Brown had great ball skills (body control) and good speed/hands.

Love to get him.

[kosimpsononthestop]

i dont know about speedy. rivals says hes a 4.77 40.i have never seen this kid play in person so i dont konw.

[Regalcock]

i dont know about speedy. rivals says hes a 4.77 40.

I cannot believe that is right????????:-o

[yShalabi]

i dont know about speedy. rivals says hes a 4.77 40.

He prolly never ran track and didnt know how to run a forty.

[Will4144]

Or it's just inaccurate. If you haven't seen the kid play, you could question his speed... but trust me, he's a burner. I still think he'd make a better FS than a WR, but it's up to him.

[Regalcock]

Yeah Will during the shrine he was one of the fastest guys out there. I cannot think 4.77 maybe 4.5 at the slowest and I think quicker. Maybe he just does not have technique and he looks faster during games? Who knows.

[WayzUp]

I just hope his trip up here doesn't WOW him...supposed to be very cold and very snowy all week so here's to hoping the forecasters are right. We've lost a few recruits the last few years to UM (Adam Patterson, Junior Hemingway, Carlos Brown, etc) so I see them as more of a threat than Clemson....hope we get him.

[big cock fan]

i was told this guy runs a 4.49, but is faster with pads on.

[Ga_Gamecock]

From what I saw in the Shrine game he looked like he could play offense or Defense. He was the second best receiver in the game. I thought Marquan Jones was third. Brown had great ball skills (body control) and good speed/hands.

Love to get him.

how would you rank the shrine bowl wrs?

i hear the CU verbals did very well

[big cock fan]

i will say this, if we get streeter and tj we will have better ranked wr's then cu.
But at the shrine bowl i would put:

1) Green
2)Jones
3)Brown
4)Lyles
5)Ford

Jones looks like a chansi clone and will be a good fit for CU. But Brown has great ball skills and i dont think anyone knows his potential.

[Will4144]

i hear the CU verbals did very well


I would say

Green (Unreal skills like Rice with more speed not quite as strong)
Brown ( A smaller Green maybe thinner great hands)
Jones (kinda reminded me of Lecorn)
Barnes (giant talent questionable hands)
Lyles ( I am spacing on him)

[Will4144]

Regal, I think you're being a little dismissive about Marquan Jones. Marquan is definitely a talent.

[Regalcock]

Regal, I think you're being a little dismissive about Marquan Jones. Marquan is definitely a talent.

Maybe I am wrong about Brown (giving to much credit)B

But if you think about it I compared Jones to Lecorn. Dion will end up being one of the best receivers we ever have had a USC he is really good now, but by the time he is a senior I hope he does not go pro early. I really think Lecorn is going to be be better than K Mac and I compare him to Josh Reed.

I hope you're right and I hope he'll end up being as productive as Kenny McKinley, which would be outstanding. Kenny McKinley is going to finish in the top 5 all-time SEC for receptions, TD's, and yards. That's pretty dang impressive.

[big cock fan]

i can kinda understand your comparrison of marquan and dion but remember dion is built like a linebacker and has about 30 more lbs of muscle on him. I think Marqan will be better then Jones early but i think Jones has more potential.

[Regalcock]

Marquan and Jones are the same person?? Jones is not as big as Lecorn but he is younger and looked like similar body types on TV.

By the way I do not expect Dion Lecorn to break all of K Mac's stats but I think he had more overall talent and could transition into a better player at the next level as well.

[mjmiller]

Yeah, so about Jaron Brown?

[Regalcock]

Yeah, so about Jaron Brown?

All Even For Brown

By Phil Kornblut
WR Jaron Brown (6-3 190) of Cheraw met Thursday at his school with Clemson head coach Tommy Bowden and recruiter Dabo Swinney. Brown's mother also sat in on the meeting. "My mom got a chance to ask a few questions that she didn't get to ask on the official visit," Brown said. "Straight, one on one. I really enjoyed talking with coach Bowden. He's very straight up and honest. He talked about the returning receivers and he said year after next it will be wide open." Brown said earlier in the week he was favoring USC slightly over Clemson, but that's not the case now. "Right now I have no frontrunner," he said. Brown and his parents will visit Michigan this weekend flying out of Charlotte on Saturday and returning on Sunday night.

What games is this recruit playing with us?

[big cock fan]

honestly i just dont care anymore. We will win with or without him.

[gamecockfinatic2007]

no you cant say that kinda stuff bcf

this kids got some really good talent and great potential.
would rather him be a gamecock than a well______

[Gamecockfanatic4]

honestly i just dont care anymore. We will win with or without him.
I agree this guy is changing his mind daily

[detective29]

This young man is very talented. He would be a welcome addition to our team and would have very chance to play as a freshman. Our coaching staff knows how to equip players to utilize their talent to its utmost potential and prepare them for the next level. Spurrier believes in passing the ball and he would have a chance to make a name for himself in the toughest conference in the nation. However, if he chooses to go elsewhere, I wish him luck. Its his life, his choice and he has to live with his decision.

:woo: :woo: :woo: :woo: :woo: :woo: :woo:

[roosterrizk1]

He'll be a Gamcock ......

[MACXIMVS]

when i spoke to his cuz the other night he was 100% gamecock, if he doesnt pick usc he will go out of state !!!

[mjmiller]

What games is this recruit playing with us?

You cant blame him for wanting to learn more about where he is gonna live for the next 4 or 5 years. He sounds wide open and is up for grabs.

[Will4144]

Good luck to Jaron wherever he decides to go. Hope he's a Gamecock.

[big cock fan]

im sorry the words that i typed didnt really come out the way i meant it. i was meaning that with all the recruits not specifically to jaron. he's great and i hope we get him.

[MACXIMVS]

This is for ann arbor (a little different). Hopefully he will note that when it is cold there in the winter, it is cold the whole winter, and it lasts until late May.

Here it is intermittent, and it lasts until March.

The only problem I see is that Rich Rodriguez seems like a really good recruiter.

Brown Takes Close Look At Michigan

By Phil Kornblut
On Recruiting
Published: January 27, 2008

WR Jaron Brown (6-3 190) of Cheraw made his official visit to Michigan over the weekend with his mother. "It went great," he said. "It was snowing when we first arrived in Detroit and we got there (Ann Arbor) late from missing our flight. We missed the campus tour but got to see the academic center. I got to meet up with my position coach and he explained the offense coach Rodriguez is bringing in. The stadium is like the biggest ever. I imagined walking down the tunnel what the atmosphere must be like on gameday. My mom really enjoyed it, too." Brown is finished with his visits after also seeing Clemson and USC. He said there is no favorite right now. "I'm probably just going to go home and sit downwith my parents and look at the different schools," he said. Clemson recruiter Dabo Swinney and two Michigan coaches are due in on Tuesday. USC recruiters David Reaves and Steve Spurrier Jr. are to visit Wednesday.

Another Athlete that can help the Cocks in several positions. Hope he comes and plays with Cliff.

Jaron Brown Gives Hint Into Plans

By Phil Kornblut
WR Jaron Brown (6-3 190) of Cheraw appeared on SportsTalk Recruiting RoundTable Sunday night a few hours after returning from his official visit to Michigan. He said he planned to have a decision by Thursday after meeting with his recruiters earlier in the week. Clemson and Michigan are coming in Tuesday and USC Wednesday. When asked which school afforded the opportunity for earliest playing time, Brown answered, "USC." And when asked who he had gotten the most calls from and who had worked him the hardest, Brown answered, "USC." Brown said in the interview that he did not have a leader at that time.

Monday A Light Day For Brown

By Phil Kornblut
WR Jaron Brown (6-3 190) of Cheraw got a break from recruiting Monday. He had no visits from coaches and talked to just one recruiter on the phone, Clemson's Dabo Swinney. Tuesday Swinney and coaches from Michigan are planning to meet with him and watch his basketball game against Lee Central. Wednesday USC coaches David Reaves and Steve Spurrier Jr. will meet with him. Brown said he will announce his college choice Thursday at a 2:00 news conference at his school. "I'm just looking for the best school academically and athletically," Brown said.

[MACXIMVS]

WHATS GOING ON CURT WHERE U BEEN, AND TRUE THAT

[87Cock09]

I would have to say Lawerence most likely going to UF now, locks Brown up for us. We have always been his favorite I think he just got a little worried about all the WR's we were signing.

[Will4144]

He's going to SC.

I hope you're right, Jesus.

[roosterrizk1]

He's going to SC.

Cheraw star ready for his next big move

Jaron Brown’s versatility has him in demand as Michigan, Clemson and USC vie for his services

By AKILAH IMANI NELSON - ainelson@thestate.com (ainelson@thestate.com)


During spring practice at the end of his sophomore year, Jaron Brown began to grab the attention of college recruiters.

The recruiters were at Cheraw High to check out Braves’ end Cliff Matthews, but it quickly became apparent that Brown, a wide receiver and defensive back, also would be a star. Two years later, the Braves’ top wide receiver/defensive back is just days away from making his college choice.

“It’s my decision, and I’m not going to have anybody influencing me. It’s where I’m going to be for the next four years,” the 6-foot-2, 187-pound Brown said.

That’s no small deal for Brown.

“With my dad being in the military, we moved around a lot. I think the longest I lived somewhere was three years,” he said.

Choosing another new home takes on added importance. Brown, who had offers from nearly a dozen schools early this year, did not take the process lightly.

“When I have visits, when I talk to coaches, I try to write things down so I won’t forget them,” Brown said. After months of visiting and notetaking, Brown has now whittled the field down to three — Clemson, USC and Michigan.

Brown visited Clemson and USC earlier this month and over the weekend traveled to Michigan.

“Right now, I have a slight lean toward USC,” Brown said before heading to Ann Arbor.

But upon his return, Brown planned to break out his notebook, weigh the pros and cons, and make a choice.

“I just want to sit around and pray about it,” he said.

Cheraw coach Johnny White offered one piece of advice for his self-directed star.

“I told him, whatever he did, he needed to make a decision of where he was going to be happiest,” White said.

Which position Brown will play won’t weigh heavily on that decision.

Though Brown has excelled at defensive back, he said he has always had a thing for “making the big catch.”

“My preference is to play wide receiver in college, but some schools are looking at me to play both, and I don’t look at that as a bad thing,” he said.

White said Brown’s athleticism and versatility are what caught recruiters’ eyes.

“He makes a lot of plays on both sides of the ball. He returns kicks, returns punts, he does some of everything,” White said.

Brown’s statistics bear that out.

In three seasons as a wideout, Brown tallied 1,127 yards and 24 touchdowns on 57 receptions for the run-first Braves.

His two seasons on defense yielded 195 tackles and six interceptions.

“Early on, I thought he was definitely a college wide receiver,” White said.

“But each year, he took his game to another level, and the last half of this season, he was just a wrecking ball on defense.

“I feel like, where he is now, he can player either position on the college level,” White said.

Brown feels lucky to have the choice.

“I never planned to have this much success,” he said. “It’s a blessing that I have made it this far.”

goood post. i hope we get him

[ChuckyCock]

good read, sounds like the kid has a level head or at least a good support system.

Come on down, Jaron - we'd love to have you in Gamecock Nation!!!!

[Hopefultiger]

For what it's worth the guys at Clemson's Scout site agree with this. The kid is a big USC fan. There was some movement towards us last week (rumor is that some of his family want him to go to Clemson), but in his interview late last week, he gave some good signs he wants to go to USC. IMO he seems a pretty impressionable kid and as such, could go with the last team to talk with him. At any rate he seems a good player for whichever team gets him.
TB is prolly gonna recruit his mom this weekend! There's no rule that limits contact with her. She'll nag him into coming to Clemson!

[LollerCock]

He sounds like a smart, responsible kid.
We would all love to have you, Jaron!

[MACXIMVS]

man his family likes usc and the coaches ..

[hardcock2]

This is the exact type of student/athletes we need....very level headed. I can certainly sympothize with him on his moving around alot...I was in the same situation....and it's tough to get used to one place for a while.

Whoever gets him will be very lucky.

[mmcox98]

Sounds like this kid has the smarts along with athletic ability, would love to get him to Gamecock Nation.

[gamecock3252]

can it please be thursday now!

[scrub146]

Good things come to those whoe wait!

[Will4144]

Good things come to those whoe wait!

We WAITED to offer Lucas and I don't really see the whole him committing to NC State as a good thing for us. :-x

[scrub146]

I was refering to the announcement by Brown on Thursday not Lucas!

GO COCKS!!!!

Brown Has His Decision

By Phil Kornblut
According to a source close to Cheraw WR Jaron Brown (6-3 190), the Shrine Bowler has made his decision between USC, Clemson and Michigan. The source, however, did not know his decision. Brown will announce his choice at a news conference at his school Thursday at 2:00 PM. Indications are that Brown will announce for USC. Tonight, Clemson recruiter Dabo Swinney is scheduled to watch Brown at his basketball coach. Coaches from Michigan also were due in Tuesday. USC recruiters David Reaves and Steve Spurrier Jr. are to visit him Wednesday.

I guess we'll all know Thursday. PK worries me with his "expected to announce for USC" statement. That seems to be a burner lately.

[happygilmore527]

We certainly could use the good news tomorrow.

Yeah, if he picks someone else, I'll never list to PK EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[usc1]

Judging from his videos I dont see how he's not a 4 star.

[big cock fan]

i dont see how Brandon Ford is ranked higher then Jaron Brown. I think there is a big difference in talent and potential.

[Will4144]

I didn't even realize that. Brandon Ford may be one of the most overrated WR's this year.
