If BB picks TN, can someone go to Neyland and pick me up some of the loaves and fishes that are sure to be overflowing?

That's still a couple years away. By then I think we'll be the favorite going in to that game. We'll have a decent (better than last year) season this year and then be a little better in 2010. Regardless, it's way too early to be saying that most people outside of Tennessee will consider you the favorite.

Fair point. Anything could happen between now and then.

I think Masoli as a senior will be difficult to stop, though.

I think he was referring to them sitting down and talking out all options upon his return from Knoxville...but I could be wrong.

Read #3 and #4 of your post. They contradict themselves and only reaffirm his dad's statement in the quote.

How do 3 and 4 contradict? IF the trip went well...we get him. IF the trip was a bomb...we don't. It was a "take a 2nd look and make sure" trip.

I agree completely. The only quote that makes me raise an eybrow is the one where he said something to the effect of "after visiting as a familiy, I am sure he has found the right place.". No family visiting here. BUT they did visit LSU who also happens to have a solid S&C program and RB coach.

He's talking about the family, visiting with each other, to discuss Bryce's decision. Not about the family visiting the school.

Has anyone been able to sum up how his weekend visit went...maybe Hubbs or VSPN?

Or has it been pretty hush, hush?

Jeremy Crabtree from Rivals was on KGSO this morning.. Chris Allison (the guy mentioned in the Oregon blog) gathered from Crabtree's comments that it was Oregon.

Crabtree apparently talked not only about the RB and S&C coaches, but also mentioned that Brown's relationship with the offensive coordinator played a large role.

The pessimist in me says that with all the coaching turnover that has happened with the schools recruiting him, he couldn't have had very long to develop a relationship with an OC. I mean, even Oregon just lost their OC to the HC position so we're definitely out of it. Oh wait.. :rock:

Yea, when I went back and reread the exact language of the quote, that seems to be the only logical meaning. In that case, it does seem like as long as we didn't dissappoint this weekend, we're good. I'm not too worried about his brothers visit to bama only to pick UM. We all know he doesn't think that was a good choice. Makes me think BB isn't going to go with his second choice, only to repeat his brothers mistake.

my only fear is that VSPN is hiding under a rock right now because things have changed. I hope not and am not disrespecting the guy, i just really feel like he is ducking out right now. hopefully i am wrong and we can get the full story soon...i have no reason not to believe the guy..

Butler and Chaney have a good standing relationship.

I think it is ut. One reason would be that it would be the closest to Miami, and all of the acc games would be close to ut. This might be a reach. But as a father of 2 boys I would want to see both my kids play!

I'm not trying to be rude, but you do realize that you're recruiting Bryce Brown, not Brian Butler, yes?

I know, but out of all the schools recruiting him and Butler being a mentor, Butler has the best relationships with us. Just part of the puzzle.

I think you may have a good literary catch here.

I am one on the board not afraid to admit my hopes are high. I cannot see him going anywhere else except Miami and will be totally shocked if it is not us or U.

So much speculation and too many people parlaying this recruitment for their own needs. The steady dependable ones who are somewhat in the know have been consistent.

Arthur Brown's statement was a feeder to add to the suspense. If it is Miami, do not think for a moment they will not greet him with open arms.

Legit, but definitely a reach.

With less than 4 hours to go, I'd say now isn't the time to use that line of thinking to talk yourself into Brown landing in Knoxville.

I don't really have a gut feeling on this. I think it should be hard for you Tennessee fans to show such confidence as well. With all the people "in the know" predicting completely different, you can't just be selective.. You have to consider everything.

Let's simplify. If BB had a good weekend in Knoxville, it reaffirms his first impressions of and he's all Vol. If not, he goes elsewhere.
