hosker Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I was on the fence, but I think I can officially say I don't want any part of either of these guys: Many coaches in the city of Wichita have discouraged or prohibited Butler from training their players, and Butler acknowledges that most of his business comes from the suburbs. Byers said Butler disrupted his program and got into the Brown brothers’ heads by promoting a selfish approach, which he described this way: “We’re not going to worry about what happens with the team. If we can do what we need to do and the team wins, fine, but we just need to take care of ourselves.” The brothers skipped a football camp that Wichita East held before the 2007 season. During his junior season, Bryce Brown did not even stretch with his teammates, Byers said. Brown went with his teammates to a team camp at Pittsburg State last summer but did not participate because he was concerned about being hurt. Nonetheless, he piled up impressive statistics during the season, rushing for 1,850 yards and 31 touchdowns. “It’s always been him and then everybody else,” Byers said. “Our team chemistry was nonexistent.” i agree, he has a lot of talent, but we don't need the baggage. if for some reason he does become a husker, he better get his priorities straight.

I don't know if I agree with calling teenagers that [edited] espically at that age and with people telling you to only think of yourself and not the team, but I definitely agree that they should stretch with the team and take part of team activities. They are steller athletes nontheless Quote Link to comment

They are steller athletes nontheless You are right. Calling a teenager that was uncalled for (so I've changed it), but I don't think Bryce escapes criticism for making poor choices just because he's getting questionable advice. Anyway, after reading about their faith, fasting, and what not, I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but this latest article makes Butler and Brown look pretty bad.

huskered17 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Do we really need another r/b, one that may have a lot of problems. We just recruited what look like two good ones and have 3 very good ones coming back this year. Why disrupt the team chemistry with maybe a head case. The old saying you can never have enough good players, thats bull crap, just ask the "Dallas Cowgirls" err boys. GBR!!! Quote Link to comment

killer cacti Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Would you guys please quit talking bad about Clemson's next running back? did clemson have a good class?.... The 12 we signed are solid. We only had room for 15 though, so we filled our needs and are looking forward to next year. According to the 'experts', it's not a great class cause of quantity, but I'm satisfied with it. We did sign a QB in Tajh Boyd. The player I'm looking forward to seeing the most is FB Tyler Shatley, check out his film if you can. He's an old school bruising back, and would be perfect for the TO triple option back in the 90's.

If he had a problem with the way one of his players was acting, why did he not address it? It's coming off like he is bad mouthing the kid after the fact, when the season didn't go well. Makes it seem like sour grapes. Doesn't mean these things aren't true, but i wonder if they are blown out of proportion. After all, if Bryce's actions were so destructive why did he allow them to go on? Quote Link to comment

TMul Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Don't bash Bryce as much as you should Brian Butler. Dude is a leech and scum. How he manages to pull the wool over on these kids and their families I do not know. Don't bash XXXX recruit as much as you should Rivals/Scout/Espn. They are leech and scum. How they manage to pull the wool over on these kids and their families I do not know. Exploitation is exploitation. Whether it be 1 man or a corporation. I love this line: “We’ve got to the point where a handler or a street agent starts a Web site to charge money for an update,” said Tom Luginbill, the national recruiting director for ESPN and Scouts Inc. “I’m not in line with that. I think that is a precedent that could become very scary and very ugly.” Quote Link to comment
