If it is indeed true that bb is coming with his parents it is a done deal. They would not waste their time visiting UT the weekend before he signs unless it was at least a huge UT lean at the moment. Unless his parents (especially his Dad) comes out of knoxville unimpressed we will have the #1 recruit in the nation come monday. I believe they are trying to keep a good relationship with UM right now because of his brother being a current player at that school. Game over

I concur. Why visit a school, with your family no less, on the weekend before your Monday announcement, if the decision hasn't already been made.

I also was interested to hear the coaches in yesterday's pre-practice presser talk several times about their "dream" scenario of having a power back/speed back tandem, a la Bush/White. Perchance they already know that the dream will become reality?

There is something to be said for setting achievable goals.

Also note that Bryce is every bit as fast as Oku if not faster, he just has a larger frame. Dude is a freak.

No one knows that he is a "selfish" player. All we have that really points that way is a bunch of internet chatter from fans frustrated that he didn't choose their team already.

I'm not one to give the "benefit of the doubt" too quickly but if this kid were poision I think CLK would have already pulled the plug.

Why do we want him though? Maybe because he's a college ready RB who at 6' 215 supposedly has Coker-like speed and acceleration.

I have shook the kids hand and watched him play. Standing beside him he is a good 6'1", and a solid 220. I can assure you this is the fastest kid I have ever seen play ball. He makes Coker looks average in every arena...imagine this...build of roger craig, speed of bush, and the cutting ability of barry sanders (well...getting there :)) but the way he cuts while at full speed is absolutely sick. He will be the best running back to wear the orange ever. If he comes of course...and stays healthy. He reminds me of a charlie garner but much quicker through the hole and breakaway speed like LT. He actually could be a young marshall faulk.

I agree that you can't directly compare Oku/Brown to Bush/White. For one, Brown (the power back to Oku) is also scary fast and agile for a back with his size. White was just a bruiser, plain and simple.

However, I do think that the difference in style between Brown and Oku make the analogy fair, if not direct. I was more interested in the fact that the comparison came up several times during the presser...our current stable of backs does not correlate to the Bush/White duo. I speculate that the coaching staff is fairly convinced that they will get Brown, and the dual threat dream comes true.

The relevant question right now is not whether VSPN is credible, but whether Brown and fam. will actually make the rumored trip on their own dime. When there is some confirmation that Brown has arrived in Knoxville, then there will definitely be a reason for some serious optimism. But until that time, I'm doing my best not to get my hopes up...

BBs trying to keep it low key. If it goes as planned it may not even get confirmed.

They have much different running styles. BB looks more bruising, Oku is a slasher, Reggie Bush, Charlie Garner, looking runner.

I would love to have them both. I hope everyone is correct about the late visit. If so, it looks very good to sign BB too.

Oku said they had talked of playing together. Maybe they are still talking!!!

All I can say is :eek:lol:

Kid is sick but doesn't have the speed of Bush.

we have a top five overall rb group in the nation right now. With BB we will have the #1 group in the nation hands down. Our ground game will be scary...what does that mean? Defenses will key our run game alot this year by placing more guys on the line. That will open up our passing game much more. That is why just having BB on the field will help us win more games. Its crucial that we land this guy IMO

OK... Im entering this thing late and don't want to go back 20 pages.

Bryce told one of the hostesses on facebook (lacey) that he was going to Knoxville with his parents this weekend. Lacey told some people who told some people and now the rumor is obviously out.

Why do you think that Bryce is upset that the rumor is out?
It would seem to me that he would want to people to know.

Brown's HS film reminds me of Adrian Peterson's film. They are both big and fast. You don't see them with Barry Sanders like fakeouts, but thats only because people have to actually be close to you in order for you to fake them out. Like AP, I don't think BB is like Bush or White. He is both.

Well put.

Assuming the speculation holds true, looks like we are well on the way of assembling some special teams down the road. At this point I couldn't be more pleased with the future of the program.
