Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin had some stinging last words for Alshon Jeffrey, one of the nation's top wide receivers, according to ESPN.com. Jeffrey of St. Matthews, S.C., signed with South Carolina last month after an intense recruiting battle with Southern Cal and Tennessee. According to ESPN's Chris Lowe, "Kiffin told Jeffrey that if he chose the Gamecocks, he would end up pumping gas for the rest of his life like all the other players from that state who had gone to South Carolina."

No wonder Butler is steering BB to Tenn: birds of feather flock together.

If BB does actually go there....I don't think I'll be able to handle it. That said, I still think he's coming here.
I just can't wait to play them in the home & home, if he can even last that long as their coach.

All I'm saying is that ever since his visit in november he has said oregon is his leader. Before his Tennessee visit he said oregon was his leader. Now oregon seems to be one of his final two. I dont know I don't want to get my hopes up but it just seems to add up

Tennessee is at best a middle of the road SEC program at this juncture with Florida, LSU, Georgia, and Alabama in front of them. Ole Miss is the up and comer in the SEC and some may argue that they don't belong in front of Tennessee. However, I will point them to the cotton bowl, a top 25 finish, some stellar recruiting, and most importantly they aren't rebuilding. I am also waiting for Spurrier to break out at the other USC. Anyway, there might be some tough sledding for BB if he chooses UT with Kiffin not being a proven commodity. Oregon's stability should be a plus for us.

If he does go to Tennessee, he might transfer just like Onterio Smith.

I'm just wondering... who says it's down to Ten and The O? That sounds just like a rumor to me with no validity.

Let's hope it's not, "just like Onterrio Smith"... That kid had some issues!

I don't think many people really say that. I think LSU has a shot and Miami is possible, though it sounds like they might of taken themselves out of it. BB hasn't eliminated anyone yet. But UO and Tenn do sound like the best bets at this point.

True WoundedKnees, true, but he also had some talent, and a lot of media exposure, you remember that issue of ESPN magazine where he got the cover. I also remember a 200 + yard game he had in the NFL playing with the Viks, not to mention the greatest single game rushing record in Oregon Football history with the 285 yard performance against Washington St, back in 01.

Yeah I'm well aware of the parents thing and I know it sucks but I just think oregon feels right to bryce. based on what he said about oregon makes him fall asleep at night and everything I don't know its just the same feeling i had about jamil wilson. I just feel comfortable about this situation, unlike the tajh boyd thing

Couldn't agree more.... Isn't it funny now that 2 of Petey's ass. leave and immediately get into trouble but yet what they've got busted for probably what happens all the time at U$C, yet NOTHING... By the way anybody heard anything about what happened with Bushgate ?
