AJ Brown

[BHildreth3]

I had never seen him play until tonight. Wow, he looks great. I would really hate to lose him to Bama.

[ShotgunDawg]

I'm watching as well and Brown has some Dez Bryant/Justin Blackmon in him. He's got enormous meat hooks for hands and plays physical. Must get

Brown is more physical than Metcalf, but have not seen enough of Metcalf to say who is better yet.

[defiantdog]

I had never seen him play until tonight. Wow, he looks great. I would really hate to lose him to Bama.
He's a 2 sport guy. We have to sell him on baseball as well, but he's ours to lose.

[TUSK]

Brown has a great shot at bama, would love to have.

[cheewgumm]

I heard Bama didn't want him.

[defiantdog]

I heard Bama didn't want him.

That's like saying a fat kid doesn't want ice cream

[Ifyouonlyknew]

I heard Bama didn't want him.

He's not at the top of their board. They have a few guys ahead. Not saying they wouldn't accept his commitment but they're not pushing for it.

[Bothrops]

Nobody seems very confident we'll get him.

[ckDOG]

I had never seen him play until tonight. Wow, he looks great. I would really hate to lose him to Bama.

Just flipped it on and saw him have a nice run after screen pass. All I need to see. He's solid. Seal the deal.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Nobody seems very confident we'll get him.

Some are very confident.

[mstatefan91]

Horrible commentators and refereeing. I'm watching purely because I miss football.

[ShotgunDawg]

Well... It's official, DK Metcalf got alligator arms.

Looks like once big softie leaves for the NFL, there will be a new big softie.

Brown mucho better than Metcalf

[Liverpooldawg]

Brown has 192 yards. Oxford has 119. Metcalf has 2 catches for -4 yards.

[msstate7]

Some are very confident.

Are you one?

Did you go to Newton county tonight? I'm at Texas Rangers' game, but saw we stunk it up

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Yes I am.

No of course not I'm not wasting my gas.

[chainedup_Dawg]

Haha Bianco's kid just flagged for unsportsmanlike

[sandwolf]

Yea, Brown looks awesome. It would really be a shame to lose that kid out of our own back yard.

[msstate7]

How's jones looking?

[Ifyouonlyknew]

How's jones looking?

Had a fumble forced. Playing both ways.

[chainedup_Dawg]

Jones has been solid, played with great motor in plays that i have been looking for him

[hailmari]

Yeah, Kobe has been on both sides of the ball all night it seems. Energy guy.

[archdog]

We just need to get AJ in the boat. That guy is going to be a difference maker.

[mic]

How's jones looking?

Underrated because he plays he plays both ways in 6A football.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

We just need to get AJ in the boat. That guy is going to be a difference maker.

Be patient.

[mic]

Best 2 players in the state are
Simmons and AJ .. Period ..

[RC3]

Fitzgerald/staley to AJ brown in the slot all day

[whosyourdawgy]

He won't be in the slot. He will be downfield, over the middle, quick outs. Dez Bryant type no doubt.

[Homedawg]

Some are very confident.

I don't know anyone who is very confident. I know you typically are right, but this one is tough. We are in the game, that's it.

[Covercorner2]

First time seeing him play he actually reminded me a lot of Treadwell. Same number, same body type, not overly fast, but great feel for the game and ball skills. Just smooth. Oh, and he's devastating in the screen game...

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

Haha Bianco's kid just flagged for unsportsmanlike

Then who makes the TD saving tackle for Starkville when Oxford had 4th and goal from 20?.none other than AJ Brown.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

I don't know anyone who is very confident. I know you typically are right, but this one is tough. We are in the game, that's it.

The longer it goes the higher our chances. We're in it a lot. It's a Bama/MSU battle.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

He looks just like Treadwell. Kid is physically ready day 1.

[whosyourdawgy]

He looks just like Treadwell. Kid is physically ready day 1.

Let's say he looks like Dez Bryant instead. We need to do whatever it takes to keep him in Starkville. Kobe Jones looks really good to me as well. Noxubee must be damn good to have beat the Jackets last week.

Why? If Treadwell played for State we would be unstoppable with him opposite Bear....

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

Not that I care about stars at all but I think he gains a star?what you think?

[whosyourdawgy]

Why? If Treadwell played for State we would be unstoppable with him opposite Bear....

Oh man. Treadwell is a beast and a great WR and AJ does look and play a lot like him. I just don't want to compare him to a Rebel. Compare him to one of the best WR in the NFL right now instead.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Not that I care about stars at all but I think he gains a star?what you think?

I don't think so. He's a mid 4* I could see him being a high 4 but not a 5.

[Schultzy]

Horrible commentators and refereeing. I'm watching purely because I miss football.
What didn't you like about the refereeing?

[Pokechop Womack]

AJ Brown is very good and we better not let him out of Starkville.... really would hate to lose a guy of that caliber out of our own backyard

DK Metcalf is not as good as Brown but has the size and ability to become very good one day... Hate he will be at Ole Miss

Really enjoyed watching two D-1 guys go head to head with each other tonight when Oxford put Metcalf at corner to cover Brown...

And for the fellas talking about Newton County, I was at the game tonight.... Won big but the coaching is pitiful.... Got some talent at spots but the play calling is miserable and they do not spell any of the starters so at halftime they are gassed.... we were up 35-7 in the 3rd quarter and had already had multiple injuries but every starter was still in the game... They don't get the concept of "fresh legs" or depth... Hope they can get it together and have a good year

[mstatefan91]

What didn't you like about the refereeing?

Maybe it's not the officials' faults, per se. I've probably just been spoiled by instant replay, and those guys aren't used to national TV.

But a couple of blown pass interference calls, late hit calls, and the Starkville fumble at the goal line. Avery Brown's forward progress was stopped but no replay so I get the call. Also, the Oxford play that was blown dead when really the whistle had been blown to resume play. Couple of other nitpick things, but it is what it is at that level.

[RC3]

He won't be in the slot. He will be downfield, over the middle, quick outs. Dez Bryant type no doubt.

He's only 6'1". Yes he is able to physically dominate in HS football. Not sure that's going to translate to the next level. Kind of reminds me of a slightly bigger chad bumphis. I can see the quick outs and across the middle looks but I didn't really see him as a true deep threat type receiver. But you are right in the sense that he probably isn't a slot guy either. But even guys like Dez and Calvin Johnson line up in the slot position at times. Nothing wrong with a bigger, strong guy running from there

ETA- he is ready to step on the field and contribute immediately imo

You just thought you had problems... I graduated from Neshoba haha

[sandwolf]

I definitely don't see that comparison.

[PSYCHO(thesis)DEFENSE]

He's only 6'1". Yes he is able to physically dominate in HS football. Not sure that's going to translate to the next level.

Dez Bryant is listed 6'2 220, AJ is listed 6'1 220. Dez has a broad frame & plays much bigger than his ht/wt. I think the comparison being made to AJ is based on the physicality they play with, which certainly translates to the next level, even if his current size advantage doesn't.

[Pokechop Womack]

Haha well for what's it's worth y'all's quarterback looked like Cardale Jones to me

[Jack Lambert]

He's not at the top of their board. They have a few guys ahead. Not saying they wouldn't accept his commitment but they're not pushing for it.

That could be an advantage to get him to commit or they could be using him to get the others to commit.

And Dez does line up at the slot some too. Look I'm not saying he is a slot receiver. But he has great hands. I just don't see him stretching the field. That's all. Kid is physical, no doubt. Ready to play immediately. We need him

Bigger than Cooper at Bama.

[scottycameron]

He looks so much like Treadwell, almost a clone. Same size and body type, they both move the same, not explosive but smooth. Same big hands. Not nearly as polished but he'll get that later. Wearing 1 probably makes them look even more the same, though.
This is a very important recruit, we need to go all out to get him. Don't want to lose a Starkville guy who is this good. I can see him getting a 5th star on at least one or two services.

Lets just all agree that he is a helluva player

Either you have never seen Aj or you have never seen bumphis play, or you know nothing about football if you compare Aj to bump. There is not one single thing that makes them comparable......ok, one, they are both African American....sorry, two, they both play in Mississippi. Other than that....you lost me
