I never thought Ajay would be a star. Miami's judgement isn't very impressive.
I am not sure what Nebraska fans find so attractive about Brown other than he is a Nebraska kid.
My argument isn’t as much that we need Brown as it is we need another back and he’s the only one I’ve heard of contact with.

He ran for about 1200 yards & 15 tds as a freshman.
Maybe it won't translate to B1G, but that is big boy production, especially for a frosh.

This is likely good for the settlement. She’ll make them fix a flaw. The settlement will be more robust.

Except the offer Brown is getting from other schools is an order of magnitude more than what EJ makes.
Let’s walk thru how this is going because everyone seems to be arguing around each other rather than the scenario that is actually unfolding:
- The staff DOES want another RB
- However, They don’t want to upset the Apple cart unless it’s worth it
- Upsetting the Apple cart means we are paying someone more (open market always pays the kids more than internal pay increases… think job hopping) than anyone else when the player isn’t obviously better than what we have
- Brown is NOT the back that qualifies for obviously better, and he DOES command more in pay
- Therefore, unless we get a hometown discount, we won’t get him
- If we DO get a discount, we WILL take him

This really wasn't a tremendous portal year for RBs. Dowdell was ranked 15th best to enter the portal this year by On 3. Oregon signed the #1 RB in On 3's ratings, Makhi Hughes from Tulane. He's definitely a good back but probably cost a fortune. (On 3 ranks Brown 27th).
