Boy, I'd love to see him come to Oregon. Moreso just to tick off Cryami fans. I read their board and there's still not a day that goes by where they don't mention the PI call.

With National Signing Day around the corner, the Hurricanes now look like they are on pace to sign another Top 10 class -- one that will likely still include the nation's No. 1 recruit after today's news. When East Wichita running back Bryce Brown recently reaffirmed his commitment to Miami, he mentioned he would be looking for two things -- good news on the coordinator front and good news among potential offensive line recruits. UM got both Monday.

CollegeFootballTalk.com - ONLY THREE TAKERS FOR BRYCE BROWN RECRUITING UPDATES

ONLY THREE TAKERS FOR BRYCE BROWN RECRUITING UPDATES
Posted by Keith Arnold on January 29, 2009, 7:50 p.m. EST

As we reported earlier in the week, Bryce Brown, the highly touted prep running back, who is guided by controversial "mentor" Brian Butler, made waves when Butler announced he'd be charging $9.99 a month for updates on the star running backs progress as he decides on a college.

Today, ESPN.com senior writer Bruce Feldman caught up with Butler and tried to make heads or tails of Butler, his relationship with Brown, and his business of preparing high school athletes for college football.

Feldman was quick to point out to Butler that the distinction between being a non-profit organization, as Potential Players purports to be, and charging people - athletes, coaches, and fans - to interact with his company "feeds into the suspicion many people have about 'advisors' and blue-chip recruits."

Butler quickly stepped around that question, claiming that the fees aren't part of his non-profit business, but a separate business (hmm? yeah, right) that he's started.

A business that as of Thursday morning, had only three subscribers.

It's good to see in a world where millions of dollars have been made turning the recruiting process into an information industry, that only thirty bucks of it has seen Brian Butler's pockets.

CollegeFootballTalk.com - TOP RECRUIT ON ‘FAST’ TRACK TO A DECISION

Posted by John Taylor on February 1, 2009, 11:36 a.m. EST

Some high school recruits lean heavily on their parents and/or coaches when deciding on which college to attend.

Some rely on advisors who who are heavily in-tune to the recruiting game.

Some rely on their faith to guide their decision.

(Others, of course, rely on the tried-and-true method of chicks-per-capita times the nighttime "atmosphere" equals "that's my school", but that's another story for another day.)

Bryce Brown, on the other hand, is using a combination of all three. Particularly, and especially, the latter.

Brown, the consensus top-rated recruit in the nation, has yet to make a decision on where he will attend, although he has given a "soft" verbal commitment to Miami (Fla.). And he won't make a decision until he undergoes a faith-based fast that will last anywhere from one to two weeks.

The fast will consist of the Wichita, Kansas, running back living on nothing but water, tomato soup, vegetable juice and protein beverages for the duration of the ritual.

"The fasting makes you more sensitive and isolates you from everyday things," Brown?s father, Arthur Sr., told the Miami Herald. "When you spend time with God in his world, you're letting yourself be guided by the spiritual nature and asking the Holy Spirit to help reveal the decision."

While some may scoff at the way the younger Brown is going about making his decision, and the length of time it's taking him to make the decision - he's not expected to make a decision on National Signing Day Tuesday and the process could go deep into the month of March - in the end it's still his decision.

Probably the biggest decision he'll make in his young life.

He has every right to go about this process whatever way he and his "team" deem appropriate. Regardless of what the recruiting "experts", media and fans of the various institutions involved think about his prolonged process.

Am I the only one who sees Bryce Brown's "Christian Vision Quest" and his relationship with the sleazeball Brian Butler as being a total case of cognitive dissonance?
