From dude on VQ:
"talked to a booster today and he said that Brown was all orange!! He said that the coaches felt very confident and to not believe all the things you are hearing about Brown. TIFWIW"

Does anyone know if Miami actually pulled thier offer like they said they would?

I don't think it will really matter if they did or didn't. They are still paying for him to make an official visit, so if he wants it he will get it. I don't think they would waste the money if they weren't going to offer him one.

I talked with some people inside the football office today about Brown and they said Brown is a real possibility, but there is still a lot of work to do.

They also said his attitude and personality are a good fit for Tennessee. However, they are concerned about Butler and his involvement after Brown signs with a school - very hands on.

TFWIW.

I don't think CLK would have a problem telling Big Butler to F off.

I'll be so glad when Bryce Brown makes his decision so when I come to our board, I won't have to read about the Oregon Ducks anymore until our one-week 'don't overlook them' conversations in 2010 and 2013.

I disagree. Judging by the length of your responses to me, I think you enjoy it.

Same will be true if you beat UT in 2010, and then we beat UF a week later. We'll then play another 4 or 5 top 15 or teams that season with plenty of opportunities to make up for an early season loss. If we win those, and your game would once again be considered a fluke.

...

Really... just be glad your Ducks won't face the same level of intensity that SEC rivals reserve for one another. You'd get your tails whipped a lot of more often if that were the case.

That is truly one of the most ridiculous cop-outs I've ever heard. Champions, and I'm pretty sure every team in the NCAA actually, try to win every game. Not only are you saying "we weren't playing our hardest", you're saying it before the game is even played. If Oregon and the Pac-10 are so weak, why even hedge your bets like that? Scared?

They cheated in that game. Terrible home-cooking went on in that game.

There were a number of bad calls in that game. Just like there are in every game. Some went Oklahoma's way too. Just because a bad call happened at the end of the game, doesn't mean that the Ducks "cheated" or didn't have that advantage off-set by bad calls that went the other way earlier in the game. A 60 yard Sooner run in the second quarter should have been called back (the play clock had clearly expired before the snap) to create a 4th and long instead of leading to a score. Had that bad call not occurred, the on-side kick with the bad call would most likely not have been necessary to begin with.

Wheaton, did you come to the Florida game last year? I met some cool Ducks and Beavers at our tailgate, can't remember if that was you or not...??

Can't say that I've been to a Florida game. Though, I was in the Florida Keys during the NC game... :)

The last sentence of the first thing I said ("When a team has been good for almost its entire history and has won multiple national championships (Tennessee), a recruit is much more likely to lend that school credibility as opposed to somewhere like Oregon that will only be in the national championship hunt for one year out of about ten when everything falls into place.") was my main point. Teams that have been good throughout history have more credibility. For instance, though Texas Tech may have been ranked higher than Georgia this season, and Missouri higher than LSU, they are seen as not necessarily one-year wonders but teams that will only be in the championship hunt once in a long while. History shows that teams like Tennessee and Georgia and LSU are capable of getting really good and staying there for an extended period of time.

The problem with your argument is that you aren't defining "credibility." Credibility for what? For fans to have bragging rights? That some teams have been there before or have had stretches of success doesn't do a recruit any good if that success isn't occurring while they are there and the one-year wonder occurs at a different school they could have chosen.

And though Oregon is more consistently good than Texas Tech and Missouri, they have never won a championship and are considered my many to be in that first group I mentioned. In that respect, history does matter.

"considered by many" == opinion.

Football would be pointless to watch if the same teams always won. Sometimes, a program does better than expected. Sometimes, an entire program comes of age and never really drops off. That's why great recruits often go to schools that aren't "historically good." They fit in, they get along with the coaches, they believe in the immediate future of the program over the significance of ancient history.

It actually wasn't even that long ago in football history terms that USC sucked. Before the Carroll years, you have to go all the way back to the 70s to see a consistently good team (and even then not as good as now). At some point, they got some good things in place and made strides. Oregon could do the same thing under the "Chip Kelly era." Likewise, USC could take a turn for the worse and go back to the 20 year slump they had. UT is an unknown. They could be great. Or, they could also have a 20 year slump.

As much as I cannot stand Butler, we will know if he is going to be a factor as soon as Brown publicly commits to UT.

If he is who he says he is, then he will move onto other players.

The problem is I do not think he will move on and he will be hanging onto his coat tails as long as he can no matter which school he attends. Scary thought.

He will no doubt become his agent when Brown brokers his deal to enter in the NFL Draft. That will be the ultimate Bulter story for him to improve his status.

A "rags to riches" story look what I did for a HS star type scenerio. This will enable him to gain more creditabilty and possiblity more stars.

Brown's/Oku's location to Bulter and family issues has enabled him to capitalize on the venture. There are others mostly from the Midwest on his site, but not at the talent level of Brown or Oku.

He has managed to turn HS recruiting into a buisness which IMO is not what the NCAA desires.

Think of the endorsements and influence that donors to his venture (potentialplayers.com) can have in the recruitment of HS players. This smells.

If they can shut down Bulter during Brown's stay at UT, then bring him onboard. If they cannot, run like hell.

It will take one meeting between Bulter (acting on Brown's behalf) and a NFL scout with money changing hands to ruin it for UT.

Scary thought, I really hope he comes to us, but not at the expense of the program! Obv.

USC no longer wants Brown.

GoPowercat.com - Bryce Brown's advisor addresses issues

Seem like someone is missing?

That would be USC, which has officially pulled out of what has become college football's most confusing race.

Butler indicated that when coaches from the perennial power learned that Brown, who will announce his college choice on March 16, would not be coming to the campus for an official visit head coach Pete Carroll and company wished the Wichita tailback good luck and rolled credits.

So while Brown and his camp may not be interested in cutting down the group of prospective college choices, the list of options may be taking care of that on its own.
