Boeing Brown

[kris1]

The senior QB, who is rumored to have more then 20 D1 schools interested, but no offers, is no longer the starting QB at Brookfield. Junior signal caller, Brad Westmark (5'10/175) has taken over as QB for Brookfield. Brown, who is considered the teams best athlete, will be used in a variety of position. Brookfield opened SWC play today against Stratford. Westmark has 2 TD passes as Brookfield holds a 12-6 lead at the half.

Shared this info with a few people via private message last week. I didn't want to post because I know Boeing and he's a really nice young man. I was afraid he might take some serious heat here so I didn't post. If I did, I don't think I could have done it as honestly and fairly as you just did. Well done.

It's a good move for him. He wasn't getting recruited as a QB. It's good for him to showcase what he can do as an athlete.

Brookfield went on to win a see-saw affair, 24-19. Brad Westmark finished 12-24, 173 yards, and 2 TDs. Stratford had an opportunity late in the game, when Boeing Brown shanked a punt, but failed to take advantage of a short field.

Feel bad for Boeing Brown. But this goes to show you how much recruiting ratings mean sometimes. Last spring he was considered a big time recruit ( based on recruiting site info), and in the fall he is the backup QB on his high school team. Wish him all the best. I hope he gets the chance to play at the next level, if that is his dream.

Good example of why the recruiting sites are often a pile of BS. Also a good example of why all of the recruiting exposure can often be unfair to these kids. If you have the athletic ability to play at this level it will show. Go to the camps and knock people on their ass and you will get recruited.

Faulty stats and a bunch of bluster on the internet doesn't serve anyone.....especially the kids.

Interesting. Hope things work out for the guy. And I hope he has good people around him.

Not saying this is a cause or anything, but there has been a rift between the Brookfield coaching staff and the Brown family for a couple years now. The kid has had a really tough time dealing with the coach (again, don't know who's at fault), and is just trying to be a team player. He's gotta be crushed.

Don't know if that's true or not but.......I find it hard to believe that the coach would bench the kid because of that. It sounds like his replacement is a player (not sure if he's a D1 player). Probably just got beaten out. I think a lot of the hype surrounding this kid was self promotion.

Too much hype can be a negative and lead to unrealistic expectations. If your that good go to the camps and let your ability do the talking for you. All the "why hasn't UConn and coach P offered yet?" , looks kind of silly now, no?

Must not look silly. Otherwise, someone would have come on the board and talked about how wrong they were to raise that question.
