John Brantley Waivering on Commitment?

I don't know if this has any truth to it or not, but I found this on another blog site:

*Looks like the Brantley's are having 2nd thoughts as reported earlier...if so, Texas is in trouble for QB depth next year. Sherrod Harris & John Chiles (ATH) may get a shot at backing up Colt McCoy (still injured too) soon. Brantley's dad played at Florida & is still good friends with Bob Stoops from his coaching days at Florida too. John Brantley has said he prefers to redshirt his 1st year anyway, but this kid is a big-time QB recruit. See what happens...*

"There's not a lot to talk about right now," said Mr. Brantley. "The only thing that's been brought up is the question about distance. I don't know how serious that is right now but when he gets back we're going to sit down and talk about it. If that's a problem we need to talk about it. We just want to make sure he's doing the right thing."

"We still feel good about everything but Johnny has brought up a little bit the distance and that's what's got everybody thinking," he said. "When he gets back, we're going to make him sit down and tell us if that's a problem. If it is, everyone needs to know."

"But I don't even think there's a situation. If there is, if it comes to a decision or a change, it will be done as soon as possible. That's just the philosophy of our family. We try to be ethical people and we're going to do what's right. If distance is a problem and Johnny decides something else, it will be done right away. I can guarantee it. We won't let time pass because Texas has obligations to do things and Johnny has obligations. We've been by the book with this whole process and we're not going to change now."

My aplogies
My apologies for repeating the already reported!  Thanks for the link to Monday's post.  I missed that and this was the first I had heard of it.

Was definitely newsworthy...

Myspace
As long as fans are tracking airplanes, I don't feel so bad about going to the kid's Myspace page. For what it's worth, Brantley still has a Longhorn background on his Myspace page.

I Find It...
Funny that JB lists his income as "$250,000 and higher."

Hmmm....boosters already?

From the Facebook front
You know, as long as we're stalking, he's left the "Fire Greg Davis" facebook group, but took off his picture with a Texas cap on.
