Pharaoh Brown gets new offer
Yes - you read correctly. Three days after committing to Michigan, Oregon has extended an offer. But the Pharaoh's decree will not be altered.
Allen Trieu #Oregon offers #Michigan commit Pharaoh Brown tonight. He said that does not change his commitment.
To be sure, I don't think this is shady whatsoever - it's the way all college football programs operate (See Michigan's offer of Brionte Dunn). But for me, this is further validation that Pharaoh is a special talent. Chip struck gold with Jake Fisher and tried to pull an Al Golden. But this Michigan staff is a recruiting force.
Very interesting. If nothing else this will help his star rating, not that it makes him a better player. But you always see it with early commits--kid commits, offers stop, rating drops.
Glad he's solid with the good guys.
Lets just hope Pharaoh is as committed to UM as he says he is, and there's no reason to think he isn't.
Seems deserved from his film and especially considering his potential with his size.
Whatever keeps those damn ducks away from Michigan recruits males me happy. I want no more Mathis' or Fisher's escaping to Team Nike to play for the fighting highlighters, no matter how great their facilities/ locker rooms may be.
This...(gorgeous)
or that...(Jeebus)...
One of these facilities is a cathedral, and the other gives me a headache.
The Space Emperor looks upon your "facilities" with contemptuous glee. Hope you reinforced the ceiling...
I guess in recruiting these days, fair is foul and foul is pharaoh.
Kind of a bummer that an Oregon offer is worrisome to us, especially regarding a kid from Ohio. We're almost back to the point where a Michigan offer blows out most all other offers, Oregon included.
Agree. But it's going to take us winning again consistantly again for the michigan offer to be the one that other schools fear. Jury's out on when that's gonna happen. I hope it's soon.
I'm not sensing that here, good to see.
How are we almost back to that? Oregon was three points away from a national title and we have stunk for three years running.
Oregon's "near national title" didn't seem to impress Pharaoh much.......
You seem to be forgetting that our DC was the DC for the Baltimore Ravens last year. Let that one settle in a bit more.....
Good to see others are recognizing his potential from a national perspective. Still excited he'll be a Wolverine in a year.
You got Dior Mathis & Jake FIsher out of the state in the past... not this time. Hoke smash that duck thrash.
Brown isn't from Michigan. So maybe chip's powers of stealing kids only works when they are Michigan residents?
At some damn point a players star ranking will increase because MICHIGAN recruits him....not some costume wearing waterfowl from the Pacific Northwest.
POACHING and SNAKE OIL - I hate both!!
Technically it's not poaching since he isn't "contractually" signed to Michigan yet. He just gave us a verbal commitment.
You're being pretty tough on snake oil. Snake oil has contruibuted to 104 catches for 13369 yards and 10 TDs and our 3rd string QB next year. Personally I'll take more snake oil anytime.
Everybody is fair game until they sign their scholarship. Players SHOULD only commit when they're certain but they are high schoolers who are often pressured by a million decisions like class size and competition and who the coach is which are subject to change so I understand changing a commitment.
This is the best thing Oregon has given us recenty... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkbKjtuNJhQ&feature=related
