Just read it. Other than the comment SECKing posted about UT pitching him as a WR, not much in there that wasn't about UGA. Also, I can't stand Jeff Sentell as a side note.

How about this jewel?

"Tennessee’s pitch is enhanced by the thought that they will ask him to do less blocking if any at all. It is mostly seen as a straight-up receiver."

As if receivers don't need to block, I highly doubt that is part of our pitch.

I was a little surprised that he said A&M would get an OV besides Bama and UGA. I didn't realize they were that much in the conversation.

If he doesn’t want to block, there is no reason to go to TN, Ga, or Bama, all 3 use will use their WR in the running game and WR have to block a bunch.

"I am thinking September," Gilbert said. "I am thinking about committing at the jersey presentation for the All-American Bowl. I talked to my mom and she said if that was what I want to do, then do it. But I have not finalized that."

Imagine UT has a lot of momentum in Sept, think they go undefeated in September to start the year.

He did trash the FSU program. He’s shown he can win it all, but he’s also shown he can destroy a football program.

Somewhat similar to BJ....except BJ can't win it all, but he can destroy a program.
I watched the 2016 Florida game and was amazed at the amount of talent we had, and how he squandered it. We beat both UGA and Florida and couldn't win the east.

Not a Jimbo cheerleader, in fact I actively dislike him, however I think Taggart destroyed the program, last year I saw total incompetence on the sideline down there.

No doubt Taggart did nothing to help and plenty to not help. But that program was not in the same place as it was when Jimbo took over.

I think FSU, for whatever reason, is not as all-in on football as they used to be, and I think that's part of the cause and part of the reason Jimbo left and went to A&M where they are throwing obscene amounts of money at the football program.

Yes, that's what Jimbo was saying. I remember that now.The other side was saying he kept demanding more money and wasn't giving results.

Jimbo is a snake in the grass and has screwed over many players at FSU. He picked a lot of talent but not real intelligent players and once the off field and academics kicked in he bailed. He has a good set up now but it is a matter of time he will start his whore hounding again if not already. He is a glorified Kiffin.

Maybe he’s talking about being an in line blocker? 😐

I think the pitch is obviously he’s talented enough to get to the next level. Playing at WR gets him paid more at the next level. That makes a lot of sense to me.

I haven't followed the story that closely, but it does look to me like FSU is not placing the priority they used to on their football program, Miami and to lesser extent Florida all seem to be in that boat.
