NORMAN — Ted Iacenda's phone buzzed with a text message Sunday morning in Southern California.
“Doesn't it feel good to say I told you so?,” it read.
It was the morning after Marquise Brown, Iacenda's former player at College of the Canyons, set an OU single-game receiving record, and one coach from Southern Cal was having a little recruiting remorse.
Though USC initially extended Brown a scholarship offer, it pulled it after questioning Brown's size.
“Typical group-coach think,” Iacenda said. “The gist I got was, they didn't think he was big enough.”
But midway through his first season with the Sooners, Brown is having a pretty big impact on college football's biggest stage.
