Not one, single player from W&M? I'd say that's very surprising and disappointing. If there's player coming from W&M, that means they're not getting playing time. Which means we'd be getting a backup from a team we're playing against. Why would we want somebody not good enough to start for our competition? I enjoyed the portion of the Pridecast I caught. Coach seems very comfortable and organized. Somebody said it on here before; Coach has gravitas. With that kind of stern yet calming and believable influence on the sidelines I suspect we will see a more palatable style of play over time. " Why would we want somebody not good enough to start for our competition? " ..i.e Tranfer Portal . If they are not within the group of Top Tier players in the TP , that's exactly what your getting..i.e None starters or players with no playing time on record , and yes I count RS in those players also . I see Brown as a coach that is going to build his program with the HS first approach and only using the TP for filling in gaps especially for Priority Positions..i.e Inside DT's .

Communication-wise, Coach Brown seems very disciplined.
I don't think he is a naturally gregarious guy, but he understands that this is now a skill set he needs to have in order to be successful college head coach so he is forcing himself to be more media savvy.
You can tell he has worked hard on his stump speech behind the scenes and returns to familiar catch phrases when he gets a little nervous. I appreciate the effort he is putting in.

I don't think that he gets nervous . But I do think that he is measured with his thoughts and expressions when Communicating. Sometime it is confusing to people .

Sounds as if some of his potential assistants were seriously considering other offers.

W&M went 11-2, made it to the FCS quarterfinals and had a final ranking of #8. I'd bet they have some talent on their bench we could use.

Thanks for posting this, I read the Coach Brown's statement twice to be sure I understood it and I'm beginning to like him. Respect and discipline are very important to winnning. A player can have all the swagger in the world but if he doesn't have self discipline and respect he'll have problems winning. However, if a player does have enough respect and self discipline he will not make silly mistakes on the field like penalties, running the wrong pattern, etc., etc. so I appllaud the coach. BTW, Coach Broadway was excellent at establishing respect and disciplines on this teams and the became winners so I beginning to believe Coach Brown's teams will also be winners. Thanks, Coach, and players get onboard...

i don't know if i agree with that approach to recruiting. most kids, they communicate the only way they know how to communicate and many of them only know how to communicate that way. so to not recruit a kid just because he uses "street slang"? good luck with that cuz there's a ton of very talented recruits who talk that way and it "does not" mean they lack discipline just because they talk that way.
me personally, i have no problem with a kid who talks that way. that doesn't mean they are not "coachable" just because they use "street slang". if coach is strict about that statement, then maybe that's why we still haven't signed (to my knowledge) any "stud" recruits since coach brown took over.
if you're gonna recruit that way, you'd better have some other major attributes as a coach that attract recruits to you cuz "most" black recruits use that kind of language and i personally don't find it disrespectful.
now, if you ask a recruit not to use that kind of language when communicating with you and he still does it? then that's disrespectful. but if the recruit naturally uses that kind of language when you first meet the recruit, i'm cool with that cuz it is not disrespectful to use that kind of language...

Yeah I can't get down with your argument. On first impression with any college visit athlete or not, if a kid cannot even speak without a slang for one conversation that is a huge red flag. Especially if you are trying to gain scholarship. And how can you judge if any of the recruits aren't studs yet? Most kids aren't even on campus...

Most kids aren't even on campus... if i'm a college football coach, i'm not looking for a bunch of "choir boys" to put on my team. a person's slang is in no way a "definite" indicator of that person's "character". i'm in constant contact with high school athletes and i know many of them who use that kind of language who are otherwise "high character" kids. to "pre-judge" a kid by the language he uses is a poor way of really getting to know that kid. just because a kid says, "ya know what i'm sayin", is by no means an indicator that he's a disrespectful kid. again, i know this because i'm in constant contact with high level high school athletes. and to your second point, it really would be helpful if folk would "read" what i type instead of "misinterpreting" what i type. relative to "stud" signings, i very clearly stated that; now, if you know of any "studs" that he has personally recruited (not coach wash), please enlighten me...

So what you’re saying is you’d be comfortable visiting a kid that you’re potentially trying to recruit , but he is calling you (Bruh, My G, OG, Twin, Shawty) and whatever else they say instead of saying “yes sir/no sir”? I can’t get with that at all. Says a lot about the kid and the parents . Just my opinion , my kids speak respectfully when it comes to adults and myself and their mom.
