An Actual Discussion About Tony Brown

First, congrats on Paris. Great get; not a surprise, but well done.
Second, this is a bit of a spin-off from the other Brown thread. The goal here is to solicit some real responses about Brown as a prospect. Not looking to flame or discuss who's taking whose territory.
I don't see it in Tony's film. And so you know this isn't sour grapes, I don't really see it with Hoza Scott, either.
When watching the film of a proclaimed all-world DB, I expect to see Craig Loston. Granted, Craig's not a corner nor is he the player I thought he'd be (yet). Nevertheless, Loston's film is the standard, IMO. I'd bet some of you would agree.
So tell me what excites y'all about Brown's film. I don't pretend to be an expert, so I'm not asserting my opinion as gospel. Obviously his offer list trumps whatever criticism I provide. I just want to understand what the fuss is about.

Everyone forgets that these films are from a kid that's 16 or 17 years old. They aren't physically mature at all. He's gonna be a stud this year

He's elite. And for whatever reason if these schools didn't think he was elite and offering to get another teammate, you'd be wrong there because they dont have anybody else on his team.

Out of this world Quick feet
Great Hips
Not as instinctive as Ed Paris but his physical traits make up for that.
Tough/Likes to Hit
Has room to get bigger and probably will not lose any speed.
This is all the things you look for in a DB and the reasons he is a 5*.

Wow, DWag, you are really going after LSU today.
What's your problem?
First the flame-post on the SEC Rant about the draft and now coming after guys who are 5 star DB's from Texas commiting to LSU and calling them overrated.
Why don't we just all wait and see?

You don't always see eliteness on the highlight films because they're just that - highlights. Sometimes they're not put together well and very rarely show weaknesses of a player. The better gauge is offer lists and he has it. Sure, you get diamond in the roughs but if everyone and their mother wants him, you know he's a bluechip prospect. His athleticism is elite. All it takes is someone to mold it for him.
Also, this is early film. Wait until better film comes out and I'm willing to bet TAMU fans will change their tune...or not.

There are many cases where elite prospects aren't exactly elite players, and vice versa. Performance on the field does not always correspond to multiple D1 college suitors knocking on one's door. There are certain traits that coaches look for in prospects.. things that may not be as apparent from watching a few film clips. Most of the time, coaches are right in their assessments, and other times, they miss it. In Hoza Scott's case, be grateful you landed him. He is a stud (as is Tony Brown).

I think you look at size, speed, athleticism and potential and Brown looks great in all 4 categories. I know that LSU relies more on its camp evaluations so I don't get real hyped on cb tapes.
