I have serious questions as to whether he is coming to UT this weekend for an unofficial visit. I would put little to any credence in that. I am not saying it is affecting a decision on Monday...but trust me...do NOT look for his at UT this weekend.

Ah. The uninformed pretending they know something.

Can you say agent and mentor?? All he wants to do is get in with these recruits in hope that a player gets projected to go high in the draft and then calls him to help be his mentor. We all know that Gran has had success getting his RB's drafted one the first day of the draft.

Slimebag, don king style. Bryce needs to wise up and get rid of this clown.

Who said I was uniformed? Just because I don't go revealing WHO tells me everything doesn't mean I am uniformed. Let's see if he shows up this weekend. Hey, I would LOVE to be wrong on this. But if he doesn't come this weekend, make sure you come back and apologize for labeling me as "uninformed."

well hes coming man. People that have had convos with him have said this. Everyone is keeping it real quiet right now because thats what Bryce wants. It got leaked somehow and it really upset Bryce because he wants his visit to be under the radar and his decision to be silent until monday.

So have you been cohorting with all your "sources" down in GA?

I guess not having over 1000 posts means I am limited in knowledge and information capability. Who knew I would get questioned and ridiculed by people I am SUPPOSED to be on the same page with?

Like I said...I HOPE I am wrong on this. If he comes, it more than likely means he is signing....I would LOVE that....

Hmmm...wonder if the people who said OC was coming to UT got this kind of questioning?

Then you best be prepared to come in here and admit that you're uninformed when he shows up.

Seriously, I get that some of you haven't been following every event in this ordeal, but read the previous 3 pages before you post -- exposing your ignorance.

I have read the previous 3 pages. And I have NO problem admitting I got bad information if that turns out to be the case. Never saw anybody come in here and admit how bad they screwed up when everybody said we WERE getting OC and Oku was not even on our radar. I'll be a man and admit my mistake if I am wrong...but let's hold EVERYONE to this standard ok?

We aren't saying that you have limited knowledge. Just saying that we have reports from people that we KNOW are correct.

You're talking to someone who maintained that Oku was going to be a Vol throughout and OC was going to be a Dawg so you're barking up the wrong tree with that. Which part of "I spoke with Bryce and he was upset that the news of the visit got out" did you not understand? I guess your "source" is more credible than Bryce himself?

For anyone to say that Bryce Brown would immediately be our best player offensively without him ever stepping on the practice field is a bit ridiculous. Unless he's the next Jamal Lewis, he'll be lucky to see 20% of the carries this season.

Hardesty and Creer seem to get pushed aside with this Oku and Brown talk. That's all well and good if those two are beast runningbacks and they take the jobs and run.

Predicting that Oku and Brown would be our best players in March is the equivalent of cheering for getting a 1st down.

The difference may be you have implied that you have a "source" that says all of these other sources are wrong.

Just saying "I don't think he is coming this weekend" is different from "he is not coming, I have a source that says so and everyone else is wrong."

That stance will obviously get held to a higher standard than the casual "I am not sure he is coming."

The kid may be a good kid, but I question why he is hanging with this guy. The NCAA has already investigated his "handler". If he comes here, this puts the program at risk, because his handler is already on the radar. Here is the article that was in the Wichita Eagle newspaper:

NCAA investigating Bryce Brown’s advisor Brian Butler
The Wichita Eagle

Fernando Salazar/The Wichita Eagle
An NCAA investigator has visited Wichita to talk to coaches and players about the role of Brian Butler as an adviser to Bryce Brown, the country’s No. 1-rated high school football prospect who has yet to decide on a college.

Brian Byers, Brown’s former coach at Wichita East, met with Mike DeCesare, NCAA assistant director for amateurism certification, on Thursday. And on Friday, DeCesare met with Wichita Northwest coach Weston Schartz and another player who had trained with Brown, Colby Duranleau. Duranleau’s mother, Karen Powell, also was at the meeting.

“All I can say is I have talked to the NCAA and I can’t comment on it,” Byers said.

Schartz would not reveal details of the meeting at Duranleau’s home, and Duranleau did not respond to an Eagle request for an interview. Duranleau’s mother told the New York Times “I don’t feel comfortable tinkering with their investigation.”

Duranleau, a senior who has signed with Coffeyville Community College, trained with Butler at one time but does not now. Butler said Duranleau stopped training with him when Butler began to charge for his services.

“I can’t really say what we talked about,” Duranleau told SI.com. “I guess he just really wanted to talk to me about Brian Butler. That’s about the only thing I can say.

“My relationship with Brian started out positive and ended up kind of negative. I can’t elaborate why it turned negative. That’s kind of one of the things that we talked about.”

Butler was with Brown on a recruiting trip at LSU on Friday and said he had not been contacted by the NCAA.

“I’m definitely disappointed, but I’m not surprised,” Butler said. “Bryce is the No. 1 player in the country. They just want to make sure everything is on the up and up. That’s not a problem.”

Butler told the New York Times: “If the NCAA comes, then I’ll give them any information they want and that’s available.”

Friday, no other high school coaches with players training under Butler said they had been contacted by the NCAA.

The NCAA’s amateurism certification investigation is different from its enforcement section, which often examines the recruitment of high-profile players. It typically looks at the amateur status of prospects before they enroll in college and likely are trying to determine whether Butler has done anything to jeopardize the amateur status of Brown or any of his other clients.

At one time, Butler was charging readers for Brown recruiting information on his Potential Players Web site. He has since ended that pay service.

I've been keeping up for the entire thread which is a miracle but. I have been busy the past two days and couldn't find the post that said he was coming here this weekend.

So Sab,

What do you expect the visit this weekend is about. Just to get his parents on board, shore up some last minute questions about UTK, or to just go enjoy some time at his future school?

I tend to believe VSPN on this one because he has a reason to maintain a solid reputation. If people view him as credible, they will listen to his show. If people think he is a babbling idiot, they will most likely not listen to his show. Therefore, why would he risk making himself look stupid?
