Michigan 247 writers have a thread entitled "Handicapping the Race for Jalen Brown.". some quotes by his father in an interview he gave them after the visit:

-
“We talked about NIL (during the Michigan visit),” Mr. Brown said. “I ain't gonna say that I try not to get into it, because I think that's important. But with any coach and any team that we've been across, I don't really talk about it that much. That’s because I feel like my first priority is him being developed and him becoming the player that I think he could be. (NIL) is important because when he gets it, it's something that he deserves because he worked hard for, and it should happen. But I know every school is going about it differently. Michigan said some things about what they're doing and what they're trying to do as far as their players and stuff like that. I get it. And I know Miami is doing some things too. But everything's different. At the end of the day, I think you’ve still got to figure out what's best for you.”

“If everything is pretty much like… almost the same per se, then you’ve got to weigh other things. We just want to be in the best situation for him. I want him to feel like he's a priority, I want him to feel like he's gonna be a good fit, and I want him to feel like he's gonna be developed. I want him to feel like all the boxes are checked because I feel like we have all the boxes checked (for the schools).”


Anyone paying attention ought to know the southern schools have a more aggressive NIL pitch than Michigan. In a pure NIL battle with those schools, the Wolverines would lose. Period. And in the case of Brown, if his recruitment came down strictly to NIL, Miami would win going away. I don’t think there’s any way the Hurricanes would be out-spent for a hometown five-star. No way. But I don’t think this one is shaping up as a pure NIL battle. Unfortunately for Michigan that’s looking like a blessing and a curse

A blessing because the Wolverines have done a good enough job checking all the other boxes… and that was no small undertaking in the aftermath of Josh Gattis and Nate Crutchfield departing for Miami. But it’s also a curse because I think it has made room for another factor to be the differentiator.

Mom.

Mom is currently in Miami visiting. I know the Browns had a lengthy family meeting yesterday about Jalen’s recruitment and possibly bringing it to a close. I also know getting a commitment out of the way before she heads home this weekend is a major motivation for him. Now I’m getting the impression that the chance to be closer to mom could be the distinguishing characteristic.

Mom lives in Mississippi. Advantage LSU. That’s my OPINION.

To be clear, the Tigers are in a good spot on the merits. He had a great visit to LSU, they have an excellent lineage of top-flight receivers, their NIL game is obviously strong, and his former AD at Gulliver Prep is on staff in Baton Rouge. But being closest to mom could be what puts them over the top.

His dad lives in Miami? Advantage Miami.

I’ll preface by stating that I’ve not watched Brown play live. Only highlights and some 7 on 7. Sans his speed, what is his upside? What makes him a 5 star?

I’ll go on record that I don’t like wr’s with small shoulders and suspect hands. Not that he can’t be developed, get bigger and stronger as this is a new regime and so I want to remain positive.

Just feels like Jean would be better fit, plus Hykeem and the kid committed to Oregon.

Other fish if the kids goes elsewhere. Great if we land him but won’t lose sleep if we don’t.

Staff is not too high on him but they do expect him to come.

I’m not in this kids shoes and he’s earned the right to go where he wants. But is being within a 2 hour drive of his mom a difference maker when he can be home with the rest of his family and a 1.5 hour flight away? It’s not like his mom lives in Baton Rouge. Kind of weird.

Just shows, doesn't matter who the coach is or how good you're recruiting, some of these Miami kids don't give a **** man :pgdead:

If the kid wants to legitimately be closer to Mom can't really blame him. We give kids the business for not staying home. Can't have it both ways. Only issue I have is the encouraging Rashada to commit to Miami and then not join him. Just seems odd.

Few weeks ago Flo on one of his afternoon shows was really speaking negatively of Brown. And was basically intimating that when Zo came in some targets were re evaluated. It was right after the Vegas 7v7 tournament. I did not like it at all. Basically saying he got bullied in Vegas etc. I don't remember what was the date.

Yep… he did say Zo came in and reevaluated some targets. I don’t recall the bullying thing being about Brown, but he did imply Zo had an issue w him.

OK dude has wanted to commit for some time, but suddenly says he's going to commit in a couple of days?

This screams of a plan. To me this says he is announcing because someone has been holding onto his commitment and they finally determined now was the best time. Sounds like Mario working it like all these other commits. This is part of the plan. Something may have changed. Maybe some other fish is about to jump in and Mario wants to kill it this weekend and told him to come on board now to title wave this ****. But this is part of a larger plan. Its like Mario is busting teams in the mouth with his plan and this would be busting LSU in the mouth.

I also think Alinen is sitting their waiting as well. He alluded to that in one of his tweets about getting the commit graphics dude ready. That's when Mario busts Alabama in the mouth.

He also is close to Rashada, he jetted to Miami fast when Rashada asked him to get there. That would mean he knew where he was going when he did that.

Dude was part of Miami Immortals getting flown around on private jets with his boys... and with Ruiz... He knows the love he will get here.

Kid is a Cane.

If an 18 year old "man" is making decisions about college b/c his mommy is only 2 hours away then I'm willing to bet he still sleeps with his teddy bear.
