DeAndre Brown cleared to play for Southern Miss
By Vince Mullins | July 22, 2008
Orlando 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. This news truly upgrades the entire offense under new Head Coach Larry Fedora, know for running the “FengShui offense” known for its run/pass balance.
As the WR analyst, I expect Brown to move way up on the revised cheatsheet coming out soon - the main reason for his not being on the Top 55 earlier was the academic concerns. If your draft is proceeding on a message board near you, move Brown into the Top 30 since he is easily the most gifted athletically of the Eagle wideouts.
I think it is also fair to upgrade TE Shawn Nelson also since he now has another threat to occupy a safety. I am particularly excited about the TE class this year, a great mix of the classical big TE (Gresham, Pettigrew) along with lots of “ultra-big WRs” at the position (Gronkowski, Coffman, Nelson, Hill).
