You can give your opinion all you want. I just think some of you are being a little hard on a 17 year old kid that was having to drive 14-15 hours to Knoxville with limited means of transportation. And agreed. We got a Qb, and hopeful Gibson will jump on board as well.
Nice post most rival posters would say haha we got the young cam Newton and u got a two star. Then they Would tell us who else there team is going afterThere is NOTHING better than a QB who knows they want to be a part of the class, no matter the offers or whoever is recruiting them. You guys got a good one that a lot of people are going to want to sign come February. Gibson is going to be good, and I honestly hope he does come to Auburn, but now you have a guy who loves UT, is obviously wanted by a lot of the current players based on tweets, and can be the leader of the recruiting class. Nice pull guys and girls. Congrats
Haha That's true and Crompton's against AU during the Clawfense..That was horrid. That could have been the worst offensive game combined I have ever seen.
The two star crap is old.. He's obviously not a 2 star unless u are too dumb or lazy to understand his situation.
If Gibson commits closer to NSD, we have as good a shot as any at him still. He is going to face competition anywhere he goes. He still has an excellent shot at being a QB at UT. We made him a priority but we couldn't wait on a commitment till NSD especially when Dormady is an EE as well.
Man, the TG die-hards are out in full force.
My opinion even though I know it's not allowed here:
Gibson has said for a long time that he wanted to take all of his official visits and commit after his senior season. That's all fine and good as long as you know the consequences. In today's recruiting game, QBs simply can't do that anymore. Heck, even most of the "elite" players can't. Dormady knew he wanted to play for UT and is super excited about it. I would take that 99% of the time over another kid that wants to live out his Twitter fame for 7 more months. I don't deny that Gibson has elite talent, but if he really wanted to be here then he just shot himself in the foot by being so noncommittal.
Part of what makes a great leader is having someone that is fired up about being where they are. Dormady brings that to the table.
