Hello: Brandon Brown (who is not a recruit)
Good news, everyone! We have expanded our team by one around here by adding Brandon Brown, late of The M Block, as a recruiting reporter. He is pictured at left above.
We found it hard to have Ace be both the recruiting analyst and the reporter at the same time since those roles often conflict, and now that he's moved into basketball pretty heavily we had a gap in our coverage. Brandon will fill that by talking to recruits.
Credentials time: Brandon started doing this himself after an offer to write for another burgeoning site went under when the primary author shut the thing down suddenly. In a relatively short time Brandon established himself as a guy on top of things, correctly identifying the mystery quarterback recruit out of Virginia who would soon become Wilton Speight, commit and George Campbell closer. He also pegged the direction the Drake Harris and Chase Winovich recruitments were going seemingly before anyone else. In a relatively brief period of time he's established himself as a guy who gets things.
He'll be posting two to three things a week, mostly interviews. A Central Michigan grad, Brandon's day job is teaching middle school science in South Carolina; he also coached that level of football. He'll have something coming up in the next couple hours that's rather cool.
The quality of these "Hello" posts is really starting to wane. Where are his Fake 40 times? His predictions based on flimsy evidence? What about the upshot for the rest of the class?
I think this means my M Block Recruiting Shirt is now a collector's item.
Big Congrats to you Coach Brown and best of luck here on MGoBlog!
Will you be shutting down your M Block site?
No the site will continue on with the other guys on staff. They've been doing a great job lately so it's still relevant. Ironic timing with the shirts. Right when the shirts were being sent out and finalized, Brian and I were talking about me coming aboard here.

Yeah, that should do. Somebody get to work on a Brandon Brown signal.
Brandon's profile sounds like someone that used to post frequently back in the Haloscan (is that the right word?) days. As I recall, his userid included the word coach. Same guy? I thought he made intelligent postings, but he seemed to have stopped at a certain point, perhaps because he was working with another site.
You mean "halcyon?" You capitalized so i'm not sure if you're talking about some proper noun.
Goooooooooo CHIPS!!!!!
I have no affiliation with Central but it is my understand that this is to be yelled when meeting a Central grad.
IIRC, TomVH was also a Chip ... we got ourselves a feeder school!
Awesome! It's been a bumpy ride since TomVH moved on, first with Ace who (while I find to be a great asset to the blog in his current role) never really emerged to be a recruiting guy in the reporting sense, and then with the deal for Tremendous that fell apart, but hopefully we finally have our guy!
So as I understand it, Ace stays on as the recruiting analyst (meaning Hello posts and weekly roundups), and Brandon will add on with some interviews and whatnot? Or will Brandon be taking some of Ace's old responsibilities too? Either way I'm excited to see how this turns out, the more the merrier when it comes to contributers for this site.
Correct. Ace's role remains the same. Brandon's content is a bonus.
We hired Coach Brown!
Clowney's alter ego as he comes back for more against us?
Welcome! What does "scuttlebutt" mean to you?
Welcome! Looking forward to reading your posts!
Congrats Brandon! While I too miss TomVH and others, I commend Ace on the job he's done. Will be nice to have even more content, though. Nice of Ace to put up Thursday Recruitin' today even as he handed over those reigns.
Seriously, welcome Brandon! More people = more content = happier me.
welcome brandon. but come august 31, you're going to get killed.
I'm no longer the rookie!
/drops Brian's and Seth's helmet and pads.
I feel like BiSB might be the best hazer on the staff. Enjoy your upperclassmen status and keep the board posted on the forthcoming shenanigans
Or Brendan Shanahans?

This site is dope.
Never thought we'd get updates from a red sun looking thing that says NEW.

Welcome Mr. Brown! I will from here on call you Mr. Brown and nothing else.
Brian, Ace, Seth, BiSB, Mr. Brown? If that's wrong, I don't want to be right.
Brandon B?
Nope. I claim trademark infringement.
I think we need to move on to new phrase. How 'bout "Nurture me Brandon Brown" or "Coddle me Brandon Brown"?
On second thought, maybe we should stick with "Hold me..."
Welcome, Brandon!
Hold me Coach B?
Good news.
Welcome.
Welcome coach Brown! Have enjoyed the short run of The M Block and now will find your content on my main source/mania/addiction. Congratulations!
Why would this silence people?
Does this mean that we'll now get post-7pm content? If so, that'd be swell!
the m block and tremendous were always favorites
great, adding to the headcount, next thing you know Brian is going to ban recruiting topics in the interest of national security.
just kidding, welcome to the site look forward to your contributions. If we don't maintain the current recruiting streak its totally your fault.
Since we are all likely sitting at desks living vicariously through you, let us lice the dream of having some badass mutton chops or something.
your mis-type of "lice the dream" is particularly enjoyable.
