OH DE Pharaoh Brown Offered *TomVH: Quotes Added*
Another OH DE got an offer today, by the name of Pharoah Brown. 6'6 220, and could probably play TE too. From Allen Trieu
Lyndhurst Brush (Ohio) DE Pharaoh Brown is blowing up. Michigan and Arizona State offered today:
Also has offers from Arizona State and Syracuse.
Walk like an Egyptian, Hoke. (I'm really hoping someone can think of a better pun than that)
***TomVH EDIT***** Here's a few quotes from Pharaoh about the offer, no reason to create a new thread.
"I talked to Coach Mattison today, and then he put the head coach on the phone and they offered me right there. They said they saw my film and they really liked me."
"I'm going to try to get up there for the one day camp, but I'll try to get up there before that for the Junior day too. This is a very big offer for me, I was also offered by Arizona State today too."
Pharaoh said he plays quarterback, defensive end, and tight end but Michigan is recruiting him for DE.

I know I'm getting ahead of things, but a defense with him and Wormley on the ends would drive opposing QBs absolutely nuts.
February 8th, 2011 at 5:37 PM ^
I wouldn't mind having Odenigbi pass rushing as well...
February 8th, 2011 at 5:44 PM ^
I guess what I like better about this guy and Wormley is that they have the athleticism to stifle the outside run as well.
February 8th, 2011 at 5:45 PM ^
Absolutely. Wormley and Brown are two very complete DEs.
February 8th, 2011 at 5:30 PM ^
Let my QB GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Ah, SOMEBODY was going to do it.
February 8th, 2011 at 5:54 PM ^
That just reminded me of one of my favorite Fresh Prince scenes ever.
February 8th, 2011 at 7:49 PM ^
Ashley was lookin good there!
February 8th, 2011 at 8:53 PM ^
She looks pretty good in general.
February 8th, 2011 at 9:50 PM ^
You are correct sir! She is sexy as hell!
February 9th, 2011 at 8:44 AM ^
And this post, you were the poster of the day.
February 8th, 2011 at 6:07 PM ^
Hopefully the first of many plagues brought upon Columbus.
February 8th, 2011 at 5:32 PM ^
John Navarre style...only hopefully less statue-like.
February 8th, 2011 at 5:32 PM ^
These names are getting better and better.
February 8th, 2011 at 5:40 PM ^
So awesome, but still not Iris Macadangdang.
February 8th, 2011 at 9:55 PM ^
You think Pharaoh and Leviticus would get along? Something makes me wonder.
February 9th, 2011 at 8:45 AM ^
Have any eligibility left...?
February 8th, 2011 at 5:36 PM ^
Pharaoh... MUST GET
February 8th, 2011 at 5:37 PM ^
Really looking forward for the potential Six Zero shirt if we get this guy.
February 8th, 2011 at 5:40 PM ^
The names in this year's class are exceptional.
February 8th, 2011 at 5:41 PM ^
They're tremendous, really.
February 8th, 2011 at 5:42 PM ^
I'm waiting for Jazzmar Clax to get his offer.
February 8th, 2011 at 5:56 PM ^
It is that good.
February 8th, 2011 at 6:01 PM ^
..wants to know what you talking about...Willis..
February 8th, 2011 at 5:51 PM ^
I'm hoping this guy unleashes some unrest in opponents' backfields.
February 8th, 2011 at 5:52 PM ^
If tsio offers him, he's probably good.
February 8th, 2011 at 6:00 PM ^
First TVH Post hijack...I'm giddy.
February 8th, 2011 at 6:01 PM ^
What an incredible name.
February 8th, 2011 at 6:02 PM ^
Another potential fine addition to the D-line......
Oh, and the other team had a QB? We couldn't find him after Brown was finished.....
February 8th, 2011 at 6:03 PM ^
Thanks Tom. Now I will watch the entire highlight tape instead of just skimming it.
February 8th, 2011 at 6:06 PM ^
That hurts man. That hurts
February 8th, 2011 at 6:09 PM ^
You are no slouch yourself. It was just nice to hear there is mutual interest is all.
I set the pins up now someone knock them down.
February 8th, 2011 at 7:15 PM ^
That's what she said.
February 8th, 2011 at 7:20 PM ^
Now make me a sandwich and get me the remote control...honey.
February 8th, 2011 at 7:32 PM ^
Love is a beautiful thing...
February 8th, 2011 at 7:53 PM ^
Don't sell yourself short, Dennis, you're a tremendous slouch.
February 8th, 2011 at 9:12 PM ^
You are the winner. That's exactly what I was going for there.
February 8th, 2011 at 6:06 PM ^
Put the pussy in a sarcophogus.
February 8th, 2011 at 6:14 PM ^
does anyone know how many offers have been sent out so far? I don't trust the lists on the pay sites because they don't update frequently enough. Maybe we can get our own full list together.
February 8th, 2011 at 6:27 PM ^
http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/recruit-search
Change year to 2012, scroll down to "Michigan" in colleges, and make sure to only have the "only prospects with offers" box checked.
This will bring up everyone in the Rivals database with an offer. It doesn't look like Pharoh Brown has a Rivals page yet, and I'm sure it will take a few weeks until some of these guys have pages.
February 8th, 2011 at 6:29 PM ^
Both Magnus and I try to combine the two pay sites, as well as newspaper articles, etc, to provide a more complete offer board. Some kids report offers to Scout but not Rivals and vice versa, or one's just slower than the other. Rivals is reporting 23 offers right now, I've got 30.
February 8th, 2011 at 6:46 PM ^
Are there any significant names of the 7 that are not being listed on rivals?
On a separate note have you heard of any kids that got offers from the old staff, but the new staff might not pursue?
February 8th, 2011 at 7:30 PM ^
None that I know of.
February 8th, 2011 at 7:31 PM ^
I'll go through all 7.
1) SC RB Demetrius Williams-I'm not sure that he has an offer, I'm taking that one on faith from Magnus.
2)OH WR Dwayne Stanford- Rivals doesn't have Dwayne Standford listed as an offer. He self-reported an M offer on Scout, so it makes sense. He's probably the top WR in the midwest (as long as you don't count Missouri being in the midwest).
3)WA T Zach Banner- Another one who self-reported it on Rivals. Seems legit. We won't land him either way, though.
4) OH DE Pharaoh Brown- Rivals doesn't have a page for him?
5) DC CB Kenny Crawley- Self reported it to a local newspaper...I'm not sure this one's legit either. Not reported on either of the premium sites, it was before the CC, and I've seen film of him...he's not that impressive.
6) NJ S DJ Singleton- Self-reported on Scout. Legit, but M doesn't have much of a shot anyway.
7) PA LB Deaysean Rippy- Reported on Scout. Top national LB recruit, likely a lock for UF anyway.
To answer your second question: Yes, there might be a few. All three of the safeties I have listed on the offer board were from the RR staff, and don't have ties to Michigan. Plus, with the DB class we took, Hoke might not see it as necessary. I think he'll be targeting his own safeties. If Kenny Crawley's is legit...well I imagine the new staff might not follow up on that. There are some other offerrees like FL TE Sean Price, FL S/WR LaTroy Pittman, or FL WR Avery Johnson who are either committed elsewhere or not coming to M, so the staff might focus their attention elsewhere. I think the rest of the guys they offered are going to be pursued, however.
February 8th, 2011 at 7:49 PM ^
Thanks for the run down.
How about the Tampa Plant QB Bennie Coney. I would guess he was offered by the current staff since he is a pro style QB. I just read recently that he had some off-field issues last year and is working hard to put that behind him.
February 8th, 2011 at 8:51 PM ^
He was actually offered by the old staff. However, like Robert Gregory, he's one that could potentially fit into both systems. People think because he was offered by the old staff, or because he's got a fast 40, or because he's black, or Lord-knows-why, he doesn't have a pro-style arm. That's just not the case.
He got suspended for part of his season for reasons that are escaping me right now...I think it had something to do with his coaches. But everything I've read really backs up what you've said...he's trying really hard to put it behind him and focus on the team for the upcoming year.
