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.
While a salient point, Bryce could have handled this one way and been cool in my mind: go to school, and play ball. Don't worry about what mommy/daddy/Butler wanted, go to school and play ball. Keep your head down and when you make it to the league--you can make your own decisions and no one can fault you for that. Shut the fack up and play ball, that's what you do...so do it. But it wasn't to be.

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.".
It's the same here. This isn't a one-time thing during his time in the spotlight though, he had Butler call and tell Shannon he wasn't coming to Miami. He wouldn't call up Shannon and tell him himself. Dude needs to sack up and fend for himself as far as I'm concerned. He may not be Ochocinco in the media, but he didn't go out of his way to deflect any negative attention drawn to himself by shutting up and playing football. Dude's a primadona, a quiet one, but he's still a primadona.

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.
Oh yeah--I know zero chance. Rivals and just about every other Canes related site debunked this over a week ago. As I said though--if that rumor were true, I'd take Arthur back and play him on special teams, but I wouldn't touch Bryce with a 1000000 foot pole due to his idiocy and ineptitude in dealing with coaches/people w/o needing his dad or Butler chiming in.
