Derrian Brown is fast. Derrian Brown will work hard in the weight room. Derrian Brown is determined. Derrian Brown will listen to the coaches and will get better each day. Derrian Brown will make good grades. Derrian Brown is the missing link. 

This was a Deunte Chatman reference.

Not in my opinion. He's a very, very good RB. 

I'm on board: 

 

You know how a lot of coaches say they like linemen who also play other sports?  Well I like skill position players who also play defense, and specifically guys who get excited about lighting the fuck up ball carriers while on defense.  Both Brown and Jake Smith (and JW of course) show this in their highlights.

Dudes are ballers.

That's his junior film, which is solid but not especially amazing. His senior film is the real deal.

calling it now. we arent taking another RB this year. HS kid, Juco or GT

I hope not.  I don’t think brown will be as college ready as Ingram was last year.  And we know what young is. Meanwhile Kirko doesn’t exist.  That means we will be puttting an awful lot on Ingram.  Not wise.

Whittingtons redesignation as an APB  and jake smith can be used there also.  I dont think the staff will waste a scolly on some JAG. Just to have an RB2. 

Since. Ousux signed that RB out of Ceritos Ca. I havent heard of any JUCO RBs that we are interested in. 

The staff has backed off Glass according to him (his visit schedule) and no other 2019 HS RBs that ive heard of. 

 

Now there may be a late GT RB late. But with what weve got coming in and the staff saying they are going to have a small class next year. It appears they are setting up to go with what they have this year. 

Unless I'm missing something. Just cause you want another RB doesnt mean there is another RB that the staff likes enough to give a scolly to.

Mofo reminds me of Tony Fukin Dor-sett!

Damn, he beat me to it

Brown's kind-of-bent-over running style reminds me a little of Dorsett's.

(That's not a straight-up comparison.)

They've talked to Micah Kelly out of Mississippi, but no concrete visit plans have been set up.

It’s clear to our fans, regardless of rankings, Texas is getting Day One game changers in Smith, Whittington, Brown, Floyd, and Owens. 

You add in Washington, TJohnson, Roshon, KWatson, and developmental guys like Warren, Sweat, Hookfin, and Mpagi, and this is starting to look like a competitive playoff roster.

Pretty incredible what Herman has achieved in two years, and what CDC has done in one. 🤘🏻
