Title: The Bryce Brown rumors...
Post by: Iceberg on January 15, 2010, 08:45:22 AM
... make me miss JMart even more. He would have laid out the scoop with an interview and everything by now.

Jump on  :AA: and come home!

yeah, a lot of the board "cool kids" kind of suck up to Meek and Manbeck, but they're really no better than Kellis.

Kitchen tries, but he's not really a beat writer.

No, Kellis is worse. Kellis may be the worst sports writer I have ever read, which was by accident. I didn't realize that Kellis wrote for the kc star. I read an article, and thought it was uncharacteristically bad. My actually thought was that it was so white-bread and ku-ish. I looked up at the byline and saw that the answer was jayhawk cookies.

I miss jmart. Why is there no jmart emoticon?

JMart was phenomenal and spoiled us for sure.  But Meek, Kitchen, and Manbeck do a pretty solid job.  Like I said, we got spoiled by JMart.

I remember when J-Mart wouldnt update his blog for like a week cause it was the off season and I would be all  :angry: .  And now I don't give a frack if Kellis updates his thread because I'm not reading his trash.  The frustration came from love J-Mart  :thumbsup:

Comparing Meek to Kellis is laughable.  You have got to be kidding me.   :bs:

nope.  Other than not be a giant douchebag, what has Meek done that Kellis hasn't since Kellis came on?  They both write the same boring gamers and have the same boring blogs.  Nothing interesting comes from either of them, (especially w/ regards to recruiting).  I'm waiting for Meek to prove me wrong.  :users:

The Meek/Manbeck/Kitchen trio seem to put out the article two days before Kellis puts out a slightly worse written version of the same article. Maybe that was just once or twice but Kellis should stay away from what the others write because I honestly think he is worse.  Kitchen isn't often a prize either though.

I think they are a quite a bit better than Kellis but i'd agree most of Kellis's rep is based on being a horrible person.  And that one could really separate themselves if they got a handle on recruiting.

Meek use to have more on the recruiting side of things when he was competing with JMart, he must of let up off the gas when JMart left.  No competition has made him ease up and start coasting.

Maybe, but it's all just fluff using the same quotes everyone gets.  "Uninspiring", as J-Mart would say.

Here we go again.  I wanted to know about BB, and all I get is more column writer BS.  Who the frack cares anymore??  The only thing that should matter is what gets read, not who writes it.  Unless it's Kellis.  Frack Kellis. :chainsaw:

Just to be clear, 3rdworldrustbeltcat, you would be satisfied if meek had been writing tate snyder q&a's?  I am pissed about him not working the phones enough on the aau scene, but football recruiting?  JFC, if he covered that with baited breath it would be depressing and pathetic.

JFC, how about he mix in a call to Brian butler to ask about the rumors and/or just say what's up?  Is that too much to ask?

At worst, he has a blog post about how one of the best recruits in Kansas history is doing.

I don't know that he isn't doing that.  However, he is focused on the Kansas State recruiting beat.  Having his ear to that "beat" requires a $10,000 stethoscope and a ton of patience with little reward.  If he were covering recruiting of other schools it would make more sense to check in with people who make a difference.

If it were me might I start some campaign of lost/un-pursued recruit stories to shame/humiliate Snyder using Butler, CC coaches and Texas H.S. coaches as my named/unnamed sources?  Maybe, but cui bono?  You and me who would be fascinated by it?  Sure, but it would put Meek's ass in the air.

You sound like the "stars don't matter" crowd that thinks if you're unhappy with our current recruiting, you think we should be outrecruiting Alabama and USC. 

I'm not asking him to unseat GPC - I'm just asking him to appear to try to be more than Kellis.

Caught up with B. Butler today.

The coaching carousel amuses Butler, who has always told the young men he trains/mentors to do what's best for them. He has always stressed to them college football is a business, and he continues to preach that.

So - and here's the news-y part - it's little surprise that Bryce Brown is keeping an eye on Signing Day. If the Vols don't land more top-notch talent, which is one of the main reasons he went to Knoxville in the first place, he might be inclined to leave. Might be, people. He isn't looking to leave, but the Vols need to keep improving on what Kiffin started in order for Brown to feel secure, it seems.

And then there's this:

"If kids are looking around and trying to go somewhere else, the first place I'd recommend is K-State," Butler said.

honest question- wouldn't he be better off with less talent coming in which would allow him more time on the field or what?  isn't he at all concerned with the new coaching staff?

Nah, he's not concerned. Dude is a stud - everyone associated with the program knows it.

Wanna know how much the new coach, Dooley, realizes this? One of the first things he did was call Butler. True story.
