Sometimes I wonder just where Brown gets this stuff. Even though PSU doesn't have a deep group of WRs, they still have more than 6 and I'd be surprised if anyone he's talked to including the Blue Hens only has 6 receivers on the roster. Though now that I think about it, looking ahead after this season then PSU will only have 5, so maybe this is an indirect way of saying he likes PSU.
I saw another quote somewhere where he was talking about how he's looking for a team that throws the long ball because he's a deep threat, as if he expects to play "bombs away" and average 30 yards per catch in college like he does in HS. I just checked the 100 top receivers last season, and just 3 averaged over 20 yards per catch with the kid from Duke being the only one from a BCS conference.
So I'm hoping Brown is just having some fun with the interviewers or just running his mouth without thinking. If not, someone like Steve Superior might pander to his delusions while PSU recruiters will likely try to give him more realistic expectations, and pandering could sway him.
For now, I try to overlook this stuff in light of his statement following his latest visit that PSU is making it hard for other schools to catch his interest. At least then he was making a direct statement about a school instead of some vague wish list.
