Gamecocks coach Brown’s recruiting approach: ‘I don’t lie like most guys probably do’

South Carolina running backs coach Thomas Brown wasn’t there to sugarcoat things when he first spoke publicly after getting hired.

It turns out, that’s also how he carries himself on the recruiting trial.

“I’m a kind of no-nonsense, straightforward type person,” Brown said. “I don’t lie like most guys probably do in recruiting. I don’t tell people what they want to hear; I’m going to tell them the truth. If you like it, awesome. If you don’t like it, I’m probably not going to be the coach for you.”

That direct attitude will be going toward representing the Gamecocks in two of the most fertile recruiting grounds in the country and two places USC puts a premium on.
