TOOKIE Brown out of Georgia

[CadaverDawg]

270?? Damn

Elijah's Dad says he's a really good pickup. Anybody know much about him? Other offers?

[SDDawg]

5'11", 180 lbs per 247. Looks like he visited TN and had some interest from Bama, Miami, Butler and a few others but no other offers yet.

[Coach34]

He's a good player, but small. Last thing I wanted to see was another sub-6'0 guard

[BullDog]

real good pick up!

[ScottH]

Good player and helps with the LOADED 2016 Georgia class.

He's in 11th grade. Hopefully he grows a couple more inches

That's a fair point. I guess I grew about 3 inches between 11th grade and freshman year of college. I hate to count on that though.

I don't get paid the big bucks, but I feel like we need to be less focused on guards and more focused on guys who can play in the paint. If he can knock down any shot on the floor, that's a different story... but at 5'10'' that won't really matter if 1 of 3 shots is getting swatted. When this guy gets to campus we'll have 3 scholarship PG's.

Been talkin to some folks. Supposedly this guy will help with recruiting a few studs in that area like ScottH said. Solid player AND strategic = Good get

We'll add Ndoye and Black next year, and Daniels and Houston have good size as well. Then we have Strugg for 2015. It's being addressed.

This is an interesting commit. Seems like a solid player but numbers are already getting tight. We may not sign anyone else for this year, so we'll carry an extra scholarship into next year. Then Roquez and Bloodman are seniors, so we're already technically full for 2015. We'll probably have at least one more defection, but we're still in it for more than just Newman.

Dante Scott could see his spot go if he isn't even playing right now.

[Coach34]

Next year we'll have Ware, Daniels, NDoye, and Black for the paint. Plus Houston and Roq Johnson who can play the 4 for a few mins here and there.

[smootness]

I don't think Daniels will play in the paint much. Ray said he's a shooter more than anything, which is great for us.

[smootness]

BTW, anybody know anything about the Future150 recruiting site? 247 uses some of their guys for their crystal balls...and their rankings seem legit overall. Well, they have Dante Scott #71 overall and Tookie Brown 91 for 2015.

He's 6'8- he's supposed to play the 4 like Borchert does for us. Ray likes his 4 man to be able to stretch the D

Damn for a second there I thought he was thicker than you

[Dawg61]

Looks like he's a good scorer. He's #7 in GA in points this year at 25.6 a game. Can shoot the 3 too.

5'10, 270 is how Thick likes his women

A 5'10" 270 pound baller named "Tookie". Is this a new Disney feature?

[C222]

He'll get more offers this summer. He's pretty good.

between 11th grade and their freshman year of college.
