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.

Facial hair and I don't really get along. No-shave November always goes terribly wrong for me, but we'll see what happens.
Hold me, Brandon Brown
Welcome Brandon!
No slight to anyone but always felt that trying to merge Tim and Tom's old roles was never going to fit. Too hard to do what Tom would do while being a beat-type reporter.
Nice to see an added recruiting presence on the blog.
Welcome, Brandon! You are now personally responsible for my emotional highs and lows throughout the year.
and congratulations

I don't know... He looks shiny, red and shaped like a flower. That guy on the right looks pretty cool though.
Welcome, Mr. Brown
I’ll trust the staff and assume you are a five star pick up.
That’s three 5-Stars in five days by my count.
was talking about earlier this week?
Yeah, and does it have anything to do with this?
He'll have something coming up in the next couple hours that's rather cool.
It's been almost a couple hours...
I hope you feel terrible about this comment.
was Brandon properly vetted? What was his middle school football won - loss record? When will he release his high school transcripts? We are going to be living our pathetic lives through you now - we need to make sure you are legit!
Welcome aboard
Congrats on the new position Brandon! Keep up the good work!

I mean, they just show up on MGoBlog which is fine but that just means an even higher percentage of my e-time is going to be sent here on the blog. MVictors and UMHoops are next I suppose

What's his fake WPM speed? Did AGoBlog in Alabama offer him? How many spots does this move us up in the Scout university blogging class of 2013? Does Brian plan to use him as a 5 technique writer or a 3 technique? Details people...details.

Umm...those are a rather unfortunate set of abbreviations you used there.
Looking forward to reading your recruiting updates.

Glad to see I was basically correct.

He just needs to be careful not to use too much head tilt in pictures.
