Captain Kangaroo Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Brown was "the heir apparent (local) to Ricky Powers." He was one of those guys the Zips got the seemed "too good to be true." With his grades, Akron was the only school willing to give him a shot. He had some good games as a Zipper, but had struggles on/off the field. Emmanuel Smith (Ohio Mr. Basketball) was another Zips recruit that seemed too good to be true...and he too was recently on the wrong end of a gun. If I'm Marcus Sanders (similar bio: HUGE HS career...attend Akron due to on/off field struggles...kicked off the team...fade to obscurity) I'm investing in a flack jacket. Seems like guys like that end up in serious trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
