Re: Bryce Brown "Very Interested" in LSU Tigers...

Whether he is truly "very interested" in LSU or not, is really up for Bryce Brown to determine. Based on the article, he is very interested in possibly visiting.
Like all the teams that Bryce Brown is considering, there are a lot of strenths with LSU. That said, while LSU's depth chart isn't quite as deep as say, USC, it still is fairly deep. They have their two primary RB's coming back this next year (one of them who is a 1,000-yard rusher), a kid who will be a sophomore who was a 4-star out of HS ... AND they already have the #3 RB commit this year, who has already signed a LOI, and is a 5-star guy.
Now, I don't think that Bryce Brown will necessarily be "afraid" of various depth charts, and competition. From some of the things he has said, and my overall read, he doesn't necessarily want to go to a school where he will just be handed the job, have no competition, and will be looked at as the "man," or the "savior," for that school. To me, that rules out a school like KSU. On the flip side, I don't think his best interest is to go to a school that has deep returning RB talent, and/or highly rated commits that are comparable to him. From that perspective, that would rule out schools like USC and Miami ... possibly even LSU.
Obviously all of this isn't that simple, and there are many other factors he will be considering. That said, if the above analysis is correct, it would come down to Tennessee and Oregon, and Bryce Brown has already said himself that he doesn't feel Tennessee and Lane Kiffen have the other talent to make successful what he wants to do (OL, QB, etc). All and all . . . we'll see what happens . . . but I think a strong argument can be made as to why Oregon is the best school for Bryce Brown to commit to, if he were to only look at the RB situation, along with the overall team analysis. We'll see . . .

The point I was trying to make is, BB going to LSU because they have hotter chicks than us is highly doubtful & him being a Christian it makes that even less likely.
