Has Miami Pulled Offer For Bryce Brown?

Blue turf and blue collar: that's the Randy Shannon philosophy so-to-speak in regards to postseason berths as well as talent management. Particularly after Larry Coker's leather-so-soft touch (remember the Willie Williams article?), Shannon was sought to instill a stabilizing force to a program that was spiralling into internal chaos, and they weren't winning anymore all that much either.

Well, we saw how the Robert Marve saga ended up. And now, Bryce Brown, #1 recruit according to Rivals and semi-legendary waffler, no longer has a standing offer to Miami. Beyond the fact that Miami already has two highly-regarded tailbacks in its 2009, here's the money quote: "No one player is bigger than the University of Miami." This comes from a source within the UM program, but still- it's credible considering Shannon's bent as of late.

What makes this more interesting are the family ties: Brown's brother is a sophomore linebacker at Miami, father's preference is that his son go to Miami, although he'll likely have a choice of Tennessee, Oregon, Clemson or that Canadian Football fever dream- seems like if anyone could be the Brandon Jennings of this college football stuff, it's this guy.

Maybe Brown is afraid of the academics at the U now that it has been upgraded to one of country's best and most competitive educational programs. He could also be worried about the stable of quality backs who he will have to compete against. Otherwise there is no rational for him not embracing the opportunity to play on the same team as his bro and where his dad would like him to play

IF RANDY DID PULL THE OFFER, I THINK IT WILL SHOW NO ONE PLAYER IS BIGGER THAN THE "U". THE NEXT RECRUIT WILL HAVE TO RESPECT MIAMI FOR THIS DECISION.

This guy should just go away, I mean lets compare him to Lamar Thomas . This kid played H.S. ball in the woods. Thomas faced the top H.S. teams in the country week in week out and ran all over them. Also I dont think anyone deserves this much attention especially some 17 year old kid who might or might not be the real deal. I'm a CANE for 30 years now and this kid with his whole family aren't bigger than the "U".

Miami is deep at running back.Bryce is good but I think Miami should be worrying how to "stop" the run. Did anyone see NC State and Ga Tech games? Not gonna win games giving up that much yardage.
