Let's hope that you haven't blown his cover on this and an unamused staff finds out about it. A lot of staffs don't like the players engaged in basketball with non-team personnel [risk of accidents] let alone one with a leg injury.....
give me a break....who gives a ****.. He's a kid..He can do what he wants..

The last several posts smells like NDnation. Smh.
Sorry guys, haven't been following spring ball THAT closely this summer, and I didn't mean to start anything. Just thought it was cool that I got to play some ball with Chrisdidn't mean to be "telling on him" or anything!
Don't worry, some people like to embellish the importance of our board, and think BK wakes up every morning, logs in, and says "Let's see what Trinity thinks about me today!!!"
Last year he was MR. GO ROUTE....Now?...guess what...Happy learned how to putt!
I just read DameFan's blog post about what he saw at spring practice, and it is a little "insane rant"-y but he had a great line about Chris Brown:
Um, that is hilarious. The Happy Gilmore lines get me every time, and I wanted to share.
Here's another one for you. Basically his dad wants him to go to the Gamecocks. Hopefully Chris gets to make his own decision.
Browns want to know USC's position
I feel really bad for Chris having a father figure like that in my life. Not because he wants South Carolina over Notre Dame, but because he is domineering and every quote out of his mouth has been all about him. My Dad always encouraged me to succeed in whatever I wanted to do... I just can't imagine having a father with the kind of ego that makes him think it's OK to say things like what I quoted above.
I hope we get Ian Thomas because I really don't see this commit sticking.
Word...thanks for the update.These quotes are from a long time ago, and I took out the names because these posters didn't know the whole story at that time and were just reacting to what they heard.
But last night I got to have a beer with Chris Brown's dad and talk to him for about 30 mins...man, what a good dude!!! All that bs that was being written about him was just plain wrong. Pro ND all the way, and has been from the jump. He was just letting Chris make his own decisions, but he wanted ND for Chris (especially as the process went deeper and he got to know the schools better).
Anyways, theres more but we'll keep that at the drinking table, but I just wanted to share that Mr. Brown is a GREAT guy and fine representative of the ND family. And Chris is doing well and loving his time at ND. Hope he gets to let 'er rip today but we'll see how cautious the coaches are with him...

From what I remember Mr. Brown has always been cool and supported Notre Dame. He comes on here every once and a while and is really cool and nice guy. If I remember Chris's recruiting, the town that he lived in pushed hard for him to go to USC and they treated him poorly when he decided to go to Notre Dame.
Hanahan is about 10 minutes from where I live. Initially there was the "why would he not go to So. Car.?" Same with Golson. But it faded quickly once he committed.
There were not much sour grapes though. He was not highly ranked for football. Considering the caliber of recent WRs out of this state anyway. He was more track/triple jump guy if I recall.

Just did some cleanup of reactions from myself and others to those quotes that were... uhh... less than stellar.....

Thanks for the conversation last night. You are definitely a cool guy!
Mr. Brown's posts on this board were always among the most intelligent and cultured of the times. I got to the point where I was wanting us to give HIM a scholarship as much as Chris.
do ND players do summer workouts behind closed doors?
Yeah. But IIRC, it can't be with BK. It's with Longo
