SIAP, but I found this article on the OSU forum about TG

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Four-star quarterback Torrance Gibson recently rearranged his top seven after taking a visit to Tennessee this week.

But the visit has nothing to do with Ohio State's new spot."

Here's the new list, in order: Tennesse, Auburn, LSU, Oklahoma, Central Florida, Miami (Fla.) and Ohio State.

So why are the Buckeyes, once one of Gibson's top schools, at the bottom of his list all of a sudden?

"I don't know - I am not even sure," Gibson told cleveland.com in a phone interview Thursday evening. "They are just dropping right now because a lot of coaches have been in contact with me, and I haven't been in contact with any of their coaches since I don't know when."

So 178.90 yard passing and ALMOST 2 TD is a pretty kicka$$ season for you?

I think it's pretty impressive for a HS QB, especially when you consider the fact that there was also a 2,000yd running back in the same offense.

That's nearly 5,000yds of production from a QB and RB on a HS team.

I believe Jalen Hurd is as good or better than Sony Michel and our receivers are among the best in the world. I'd be happy with a 2-2,500yd passing (is it really a stretch to believe he could increase his passing production by 100-600+yds with our WRs catching the balls?), 1,000yd rushing QB, and a 2,000yd rusher. 5-5,500 yards of production from 2 offensive players is a good season. In theory, that would be worth 50+ TDs, or 350pts. Over a regular season, that equates to 30pts per game.

I'd be happy with that production from our offense.

He scored 29TDs in HS. At the college level, that translates to an average of 17pts per game. 17pts from one player, every single game... sign him up - immediately.

I point out the RB production because it's obvious that TG was not a 1 man show, like we see with so many all-universe HS QB's. He was, and is, on a team with nationally renowned players and he's able to be at the head of the class.

Serious question...what's your assessment of his offensive line...reason I ask, he does A LOT of backward running which ain't going to work on a regular basis in the SEC...is he running for his life or by design...it was his first season at QB, so maybe that improves with experience.

I believe you're right Butchna. That sort of scrambling wouldn't be something I'd want to see a whole lot of. Don't get me wrong, I like his looks on the read-option keeps and some of the run plays he makes from the passing game, when he has to use his legs. I don't think several of those broken scrambles will work in the SEC - too much defensive speed.

I do think that is absolutely coachable. Once he learns his progressions and gets rid of the ball at the right time, we probably won't see many of those broken scrambles - unless it's really necessary. The good news about a player like him is that, when it's time, he can turn a broken pass play into an 80yd TD with his legs. He just won't be able to do it as much against SEC defenses (excluding UK & Vandy, of course).

If TG somehow goes to UT, I will post picture proof of me tattooing a power T on my forehead

LSU and Oklahoma still could be interesting. Neither school taken an elite QB commitment this year. Norman sucks buttholes so I wouldn't see him landing there. Tigers could be a contender though.

The only schools in the mix for TG that plan on him playing him at QB is Auburn and Ohio State.

Need to be more specific. TG will "go" to UT for another visit or 2 at least. Since he was on campus this past week, he has technically already "went" to UT. But I'll give that a pass.

I thought I read, maybe in this thread, that Ohio St.'s offer was for WR, and I haven't seen anywhere that we're recruiting him for anything other than QB, so I'd also like to request a link also.
