While it makes no sense to me either it seems to be a common theme. When usc really wants someone they rarely come up short. They have managed to convince 7 rivals overall top 100 running backs to go to usc in consecutive classes. They send a ridiculous amount of players to the nfl, they have a great business school and everything else a recruit could want. Stoops has done great with every defense he has and can play to how good their defense has been since he has been there year in and year out. Like I said it make no sense to me either. Brown could come to Nebraska and start from day one. Then again when youre that good you could more than likely start anywhere from day one. Anything can happen, there is still 9 months till signing day. Who knows if we have a really good season and really good recruiting we could still land him. Maybe some young linebackers are going to prove to be really good for OU and USC while we will graduate all of our starters, so who knows? Maybe if Brown ends up going to USC they can move him to running back much like they did another former #1 linebacker......Allen Bradford.
