Zero chance. From people who knew Bryce at UT that wasn't happening. It was either UT or KSU. The only thing keeping him at UT was the hot blonde he was dating. His dad wants him and Arthur at KSU.

This ain't about Bryce not coming to Miami during recruiting for me, it never has been. It's how he has handled the whole recruiting/media circus along w/Brian Butler this whole time. I've said in the past I hope he would change and actually play football instead of carrying on like this, but I was always highly skeptical. Looks like my skepticism was warranted.
I don't think it would have mattered what happened (face to face or not) Dooley wasn't releasing him anywhere. If he'd talked to him back in late Winter or Spring it might have been different.

For the bold comment, the kid hasn't made one statement through the press or anyone else since he's been at UT. Even when he was being recruited you rarely heard anything from him. It was always Butler. I'm not going to fault a 17 year old for falling in league with a leech. I blame his parents and even Arthur for that. He should have gotten better advice from them.

I didn't think he'd come back and if he'd came back this season he was more than likely redshirting. I never thought Arthur was that great coming out and I sure as hell didn't think Bryce was the #1 overall player or even running back. He's a 4* kid who may or may not be successful in college. He can be a good back, I'm not sure the want to is there though. It wouldn't suprise me if he never plays again.

I'm glad it's over because I'm tired of hearing about it. I knew he wouldn't be back but I'm not going to call him the antichrist and rag on him. The only thing I fault him with is not having the balls to take 5 minutes to tell the coaching staff, "thanks but no thanks, I'm going home.".
