His offer list is just funny.... Orlando Brown - Yahoo! Sports

 

[DexterMorgan]

He could probably stand to grow a few inches and put on some weight.

It's basically just an alphabetical list of every D1 College.

Not gunna get my hopes up on this one.

Agree. He's a little undersized for a D1 offensive tackle.

The kid is what, maybe 15? Good night...

 

[ihawkeye]

Man child what a beast.

 

[Drinkhawk]

His comments about KF sound very positive.

Brown is now one of Georgia's best

This kid is a potential consensus 5*. Getting his commitment over the likes of Bama, Auburn, Florida, and the other usual suspects would be monumental achievement by our coaches. I say however, chances are more likely Iowa will get hit by an 8.2 magnitude earthquake than him signing with Iowa.

Damn if your eating at the same buffet they go out to I suggest ya get in line ahead of em just sayin....

This.

Human beings are not made to be that big and carry that much weight.

Recruit offered by Iowa, check. Also has Wisconsin offer, check. Iowa state offer, che... Huh. No offer from CPR? Must be waiting to tagalong until before the kid's senior year.

Iowa will be in the running until the end. KF had a big impact on him when he was working with his father. Plus the fact that Iowa OL are getting drafted in the first round will help. I can see him going down to the top 3...Similar to the last 5* OL talent that was looking at Iowa til the end.

 

[hawkfarmer]

Myabe he will actually listen to himself when he says " I know KF can get me to the NFL as a first rounder." He actually knows that is true and doesn't ahve to hear KF tell him that.

6-9, 376-pound

That is an unreal size if correct!!

Serious question though. Is it possible for an OL to be too big - making it difficult for QB to see over and/or around?

Staff doesnt seem to be concerned about it as they targeted a 6'9" prospect to play the OL last year as well.
