According to Alex Dunlap on Orangebloods, he is Curtis Brown's younger brother. 

 

According to a news story I just watched, he is 16 years old, bench presses 420 .lbs, and is squatting 710 pounds.

 

Either his family's done some exciting moving around (a possibility!) or one of the services has a disconnect somewhere.

I think there is some Curtis Brown connection because, in the news article/video that I watched, he mentioned Curtis, although he didn't say what the connection is. Who knows?

They get this one in before the House settlement as well?

Nope. You can’t sign an athlete to a contract before they are 17 and can’t pay them till they arrive on campus

I mean I was being sarcastic.

Isn't a booster interacting directly with a recruit still fucking illegal?

He’s not only a booster but I’m pretty sure he has official capacity at tech in their board of regents

If they ever resurrect that likely misguided idea of a college football overlord board, it’s apparently supposed to be Saban and this dude, so I assume he feels untouchable 

He's a billionaire.  He is untouchable.

Kavian Bryant it is

 

Are we definitely out of it for Gunner Rivers? Not that I'm complaining - Bryant seems great and, although I'm sure his ranking will change (up or down - who knows? It's really early), I certainly trust Sark and Milwee to properly evaluate QBs. Just wondering

We didn't offer him, so there's that

Bryant has made unofficial visits to Texas Tech.... 

So have most of our current in-state commits, get a hold of yourself.

He’s chubby, slow… and with the exception of one play (a reception showing his leaping ability) he scores every time he touched the football in his 6:15 sophomore year Hudl .

Different type prospect, Jerome Bettis starter kit? His RB instincts are fantastic, will his lack of speed be an issue in college, or will he be a guy who wins with great vision and balance, as he does on the tape? Defenders somehow never catch up. 

I assume he has power at 235, but didn’t see much of it on the Hudl because he somehow rarely allowed anyone to lay a glove on him. I’m kinda intrigued how his career plays out. He has time to trim up and work on his speed, but the things that make him pretty good seem to be already there. @cafe society, take a look at Brayden if you haven’t already.

He's from Le Mans, France. I think he meant brother in the "supportive friend" sense.

My understanding from people plugged into all things Gilmer is that the kid came over by himself and has a guardian. His family is back in France, or maybe even an African country that was settled by France. I got the story a while back but forgot the details. I will ask again how he wound up in Gilmer, where Curtis Brown also went to high school. Gilmer has a lot of families in town who take in kids from rough homes and keep their heads on straight to get them into college. Kris Boyd and his brother were prime examples. I’m sure Curtis Brown had a similar story, and they may share the same guardian.

Ok, here’s the story:

Senegalese kid from France. Parents both died. Grandma had custody. She got sick and had to move back to Senegal cause she could not get French healthcare as a non-citizen. He got picked up by IMG Academy. There was an issue with his visa. Lost eligibility. Wound up in Gilmer somehow. Not really sure how.”

And the guardian is very pro-Texas.

Well, good thing there are about 20 different countries in Africa France colonized, which is why they mostly speak French. 

Anyway, it's weird you brought this up. I read not too long ago that Africa has around 1200+ languages, but mainly speak French. Had you asked me how many languages the world itself had, my answer would hsve probably topped out at around 700...in the entire world. One continent with 1200 languages just blew my mind. That's all I got. 

Carry on.
