Mack Brown Not Swayed by Emotion

One of the more heated battles in college football recruiting is taking place in the state of Georgia between the home state Bulldogs and the Florida Gators. The schools annually square off for the top prospects in the two states and this year seems to be an even bigger rumble with more prospects. Mack Brown may be the best, and despite rumors, it’s still status quo for the elite running back.

Full story available to insiders at Fightin’ Gators

Florida is keying in on Mack Brown as that back that can make FL a one RB team.  He possesss all the things FL needs to put him in the RB position and can stay healthy.  Mack has Florida and Georgia at the top with UF being the #1.  There are rumors now that he will be ready to commit soon but his comments still show a bit uncertainty.

“I might, I don’t know yet,” he said about committing sometime soon. “It’s still Florida and Georgia at the top.  Both are good programs. Both have good coaching staffs. Both have good offenses that are real productive. They are pretty even, but Florida is number one right now.”

Brown could be the Gators’ answer on having one back to run the majority of the carries.  We haven’t had a back like that in quite some time and would be a spot the Gators would love to have filled by Mack Brown.
