DEL.ICIO.USHow It Went: Georgia improves its chances with WR Marlon Brown of Memphis
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Georgia appears to have improved its chances with Marlon Brown of Memphis, one of the nation’s top wide receivers.
The 6-foot-5, 205-pound Brown made an official visit to Athens this past weekend.
Brown was traveling on Sunday and unable to reach on phone, but he did talk to some of Georgia’s 2009 commitments before leaving campus. Brown is ranked as the country’s No. 9 wide receiver by Rivals.
“Marlon said he had a great time, a blast,” said quarterback Aaron Murray of Tampa, Fla., who has committed to UGA.
“He said he thought Georgia was some small country town, but that it was actually nothing like that. He said ‘this place is unbelievable.’ He was really impressed with everything .. the coaches, the players, the stadium, the atmosphere.”
How does Murray feel about UGA’s chances of landing Brown? “I’m not sure, but I definitely feel our chances are a lot better than before his visit. We’ll see in the end how it all works out.”
UGA was the first of five official visits for Brown, who said he also plans recruiting trips to Tennessee, Ohio State, LSU and Florida.

Marlon, we’d love to have you be a BULLDAWG. Imagine having him and A.J. How incredibly tough would it be for a defense to cover both those guys?
