Miami has Arthur Brown. But let’s not pencil lil’ brother down as a Hurricane just yet.

Rival’s No. 2 rated running back and ninth best football prospect in the country East’s Bryce Brown is out enjoying the luxuries of being one of the best prospects in the country. Which means that he’s being wooed by any college football program that can get him on campus.

As you read this Brown is on his way back from a college tour with the Potential Players program operated by his mentor Brian Butler. While Brown verbally committed to the Hurricanes, he insists that it’s not yet a done deal. Miami has several things going for them - one being his older brother wearing a Hurricane uniform, but he wants to check out his options and see what the others calling have to offer.

Why shouldn’t he. He’s been up front with Miami telling him that he still was going to take his five official visits and that’s all he owes them. And though he won’t say it, I believe that Miami shouldn’t be real worried.

The “superstar treatment” as I like to call it doesn’t come often. He’s made the sacrifices that takes to be at the level he is at so he deserves the right to enjoy the perks. On this recent trip he got a chance to check out Illinois, Purdue, and Missouri which he liked a lot. He plans going to St. Louis for their game with Illinois on August 30. He also has plans to visit Oregon and Clemson and perhaps Ohio State and Texas if they fit into his schedule.

So it could get pretty interesting this recruiting season. Then again it could be pretty quiet. The only person that knows is Bryce Brown and nobody should fault him for making sure he uses all the time he has to make sure he’s making the best choice.

So if you’re on this web site, you obviously all like competition of some sort. Me, I’m so competitive that I don’t want to compete unless I know I can be at least average or better. I know, it’s a sickness. One I seemed to have passed down to my children two-fold being that my husband is just as competitive (it makes for some interesting checkers and gin rummy, let me tell you).

Anyway, this isn’t competitive, but let me see if I start something if you can finish it.

I ask a question and you give the answer. Then you ask a question and someone else answers.

Playing off the “I wanna know: What annoys you” :

What’s worse: Athletes doing the fist bump with officials before a basketball game or  students yelling air ball during a game?

Remember, answer this question, then ask one of your own. I’ll try to stay on top of the spamming. Ugh.
