In the same way that Peyton Manning can’t bail out his alma mater by coming back to play college ball a high school player can’t play at any school, high school or college, if he's got an agent.
While the NCAA continued to look into the unique situation to make sure no violation have occurred, Brown made good on his promise to announce his decision by March 16th.
He chose to go to the University of Tennessee and become part of the message that Coach Kiffin is sending to all his critics from around the SEC: He can compete for the top talent in the country.
Brown ran for 1,873 yards his senior year, scoring 29 touchdowns, and will almost certainly make an immediate impact as a key player in Kiffin’s hopes of finding success at Tennessee this fall.
Kiffin’s ability to draw the best talent in the country to Tennessee isn’t limited to just high school athletes. He was successful in building a staff around him that was made up of the top coordinators and assistants from around the SEC.
He cherry picked his staff from almost all the other schools, taking whomever he wanted. One by one, he brought them to Knoxville, creating what appears to be one of the toughest staffs from top to bottom in the conference.
And then he began to talk about it.
Kiffin has shown he has no problem giving another team its "bulletin board material." As a matter of fact, it looks like the cork industry will struggle to keep up with production by the time fall gets here.
Kiffin decided to introduce himself to the SEC by openly accusing two-time and current National Champion coach Urban Myer of cheating at a televised breakfast for boosters.
