DeAndre Brown cleared to play for Southern Miss
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008Orlando sentinel reports (scroll past the bellyaching George O’Leary - ironic he criticizes truth in reporting) from Conference USA Media Day that all-everything freshman WR DeAndre Brown made it through the NCAA Clearinghouse and can begin practices with the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles.

Tulsa four-year starter QB Paul Smith has graduated, so the battle between senior David [...]
