Bryce Brown Talks His Upcoming Visit To Tennessee And His Thoughts About The Program

Bryce Brown was interviewed by rivals asking him to break down each school he is considering.  Seems like he is still heavily favoring Oregon but also said that he is not 100%.  He was also asked about his upcoming visit to Tennessee and his thoughts about Kiffin and Chaney and if he could see himself fitting in on Rocky Top.

 To be honest, it doesn't seem like we have much of shot.  One thing that is very encouraging about the interview is the kid sounds smart,  smarter than most recruits sound.  I think it's very rare when you can combine God given football talent with God given intellegence.  

This kind of excites me in that I feel like the cards are extremely stacked against us in getting him plus with hearing how smart he sounds it just adds to his "wantability."  So if Kiffin and crew can land this guy it just makes it an all the better OMG moment.  GO VOLS! and happy recruiting.

Thanks for posting this, BigBeefe. He does sound sorta stuck on Oregon, so I voted for them. Hopefully my answer will change Monday if you ask me again.

Go Vols!

Oregon's the lead school, for sure.

Honestly, it makes more sense to call him “committed” to Oregon at the moment, despite the lingo. For Tennessee to get him, I think it comes down to:

+ Proving that the offense will be viable. Separate from the next points, I simply mean that the scheme has a reasonable chance of success against the defenses of the SEC.
+ Demonstrating a good chance at playing time. Honestly, UT has a decent set of running backs at the moment in Hardesty, Creer and Poole. Either Kiffin will need to show that he’ll use a deep RB rotation or that an incoming freshman has a chance to pick up the system well enough to make an impact in the first year.
+ Confidence in the QB situation. His comment about surrounding himself with good offensive weapons is spot-on to our concerns. If he thinks that UT will be 1-dimensional in ‘09, he won’t come. It may mean fewer carries, but a strong passing game is a running back’s second-best friend (after a strong O-line).
+ More than a football factory. He spoke a lot about lifetime friendships and relationships. Does UT still have the sense of family that existed under Fulmer? Is there enough time to demonstrate it?

This kid is a supreme example of why you can’t turn around a recruiting class in 2 months. I don’t think he and his family will be able to establish the necessary ties and confidence with UT to sign on the orange line. If he doesn’t come to Knoxville, I’ll have absolutely no hard feelings over that – it’s simply the way it works and I’d probably feel the same way in his situation.

Here or elsewhere, best of luck to him.

Would love to have him, though.

Oh, no doubt.

Showing his intelligence

“I’ve been doing this football thing for awhile now.” ;)

On less a joke, he does sound smart. And looks good. At least he’s not going to go to Florida.

And I actually really like Oregon, they run a “pure” spread/triple option (a-la West Virginia).
