Just saving everyone's life right quick, because if no one posts here at least once every 4 hours Rod Wilks gets extremely pissed. Like, flip the universe, kill your children pissed.

You're welcome.

Go Vols/Bryce Brown

I think our chances are good. I would never call him a lock because remember who were talking about here, it's Bryce Brown. But none the less, i believe our chances are better than anyone else's.

Bryce Brown's "mentor" Butler is under NCAA investigation. Due to Butler having represented Brown to CFL teams, it is quite possible the NCAA could conclude that Butler is in effect a professional sports agent and therefore deem that Brown's amateur status is lost and that Brown is ineligible to compete in NCAA sports. That investigation and determination process could take a significant amount of time. No wonder teams are pulling schollarship offers to Brown.

It's so obvious that Butler wasn't serious about the CFL deal.

He wanted more money per season than the salary cap for an entire team. If they say that he was acting as an agent for that, in what Bryce said was a joke, then either a: the NCAA is that stupid, or b: He's the worst sports agent in America.

You probably shouldn't say something you don't know.

No one has pulled a scholarship offer and Brown is still in contact with every team he was considering and who'd offered him. And every offer is still on the table.

The offer pulls are rumor, innuendo, and are not true.

VSPN, just how involved do you think Butler really is since you seem to know the most about him out of all of us.

And do you know if any of the rumors about Arthur transferring are true?

Didn't Miami pull their offer? According to these two articles, it expired and Miami stated they would not renew it, so they essentially did "pull" it.

N.C.A.A. Investigates Role of a Recruit’s Adviser

Arthur Brown focuses on 'Canes without his brother


Seems like I read somewhere recently that there was at least one other school that did too, but I could be mistaken.

I have spoken to Bryce on several occasions and have never had to or been asked to interact with Butler. Partly b/c I made it clear that I had no desire to do so.

I think Butler's involvement/influence is a little overblown. I think Bryce's parents trust him more than most people, so they've allowed him to be involved, help guide and in some cases speak for the young man. It's been very clear to me in the numerous conversations I've had with him, that Bryce's views don't necessarily match many of the spoken words of Butler.

I can't say I know the full truth on Arthur.

I know what the articles say, and the other rumor you are referring to is about Oregon, which was started by another fan base and was picked up by a news outlet who didn't do their homework.

As it pertains to Miami, yes the letter ran out. But, Bryce was told the day the initial news came out that he was still welcome at Miami and as soon as he told them he wanted one, he'd be issued a new letter.

The Oregon rumors are false.

I understand where you are getting your information and understand why you think what you do. But I directly asked Bryce these questions and these are the answers I got, and they were emphatic.

Thanks VSPN817. Just goes to show you how you can't really trust what anybody who claims to be in the know writes or says on the internet or in print or on TV.

Kevin, what days did you host Basillio's show. I would like to listen to it. I caught part of one day and you did well.

Ok first of all please don't take this wrong way because I really would love to B. Brown to come to the Hill but I have a question regarding is attitude and make up (I don't know and I'm not speculating).

Brown seems like the type of guy that likes the attention, whether it's his ongoing recruiting or talking about the CFL. Would he become a distraction to the team because of arguing about Playing time or touches? Because RB is one of the few positions that we actually have some depth and talent at and it might be hard to get enough touches to everyone.

Also for fun lets say Brown does sign with us. What would the projected depth chart look like at RB. I think it might look like this:

-Brown (I think Brown and Creer will start out sharing most of the carry's but as the season progress Brown will take more touches away from Greer)
-Creer (see above)
-Hardesty (Will get a few touches)
-Oku (Will get a few touches and will get on the field a little more in the slot at WR)
-Poole (want see the field)
-Williams (if he is RS he might get some touches at the goal line)

If you gurus of recruiting wud give a percent on BB coming to UT what wud u say it was?

I wouldn't call myself a guru, but I'll give my opinion.

Miami - 30% No one but Randy Shannon knows what they would do if Brown said he wanted to go there. I say it's unlikely though at this point.

Oregon - 25% I think distance and visibility are the two major concerns with Bryce and Oregon

LSU - 5% Too late and too stocked at RB

UT - 40% I think Bryce wants the spotlight and it doesn't get any bigger than the SEC and Neyland Stadium.

I think Miami is the biggest competition to the Vols. Bryce's dad wants him to play with his brother.
