Dominique Brown picks Louisville

by Mike Rutherford on Feb 1, 2010 12:57 PM EST in Football

Another gigantic land for Charlie Strong today as Winton Woods (OH) quarterback Dominique Brown has verbally committed to Louisville.

Brown, the D-II co-offensive player of the year in Ohio, threw for 723 yards and seven touchdowns and rushed for 1,998 yards and 32 TDs as a senior. He chose Louisville over Ohio State and Cincinnati, the school he had been committed to before Brian Kelly accepted the Notre Dame job in December.

The commitment of this four-star recruit could very well lead to another from a three-star as linebacker Preston Brown, a close friend of Dominique Brown's, has previously stated that he plans to attend whatever school the quarterback picks.

Charlie Strong's cool.

tiny error

Preston Brown went to a different high school than Dominique, but they are good friends and want to go to the same college

Could they be our version of Tim Tebow/Brandon Spikes? I hope so

So, uh...

…if we have a spread offense with a dynamic, athletic quarterback, Vic Anderson and some stud frosh, and a fast, aggressive defense coach with a bunch of quality young athletes……we may be pretty good at football next year.

agreed

But I think we won’t be that good until near the end of the season. Thank goodness we have softer teams at the beginning of the schedule (like UK, etc.) rather than Cincy, WVU, or Pitt.

Charlie Strong has done more recruiting in a few weeks...

than he who is thankfully gone did in three years. (He said, stating the obvious.)

I'm sorry guys...

I know the guy is a four star, and that’s great. But 700 yards and 7 touchdowns passing vs 2000 yards and 32 touchdowns rushing? Maybe I’m too old school, but I remember when good quarterbacks, you know…. passed. This guy looks like a glorified HB. He should probably be at Georgia Tech or something.

Pat White's high school statistics from senior year:

1900 yards rushing 32 tds, 1400 yards passing 15 tds.

Remember too, we’ll be running a different offense than we’re used to seeing, that is predicated in large part on having a qb that’s an effective runner. Accuracy and technique can be taught, you can’t teach athletic ability. And if it doesn’t work out, we have Luke Woodley, who is a traditional qb, so all of our bases are covered.
