Jarvis Giles

Hubbs posted it on the VolQuest message board that Giles told Austin that South Carolina and Tennessee are ahead of Nebraska. Also said that Giles texted someone that the visit was "tight".
 
You're not going to have a coach make a staff decision based on a single recruit, almost never. If he likes Drayton, he'll keep him. If not, he'll get rid of him. But Giles wont be the reasoning. Making staff decisions for a single player is poor decision and almost never ends well....see the whole Mitch Mustain thing with Nutt and Arkansas

Never said that CLK would make a decision based upon a recruit. I just said that Giles could have put him in an uncomfortable position in front of Drayton in the living room.
I still think that Drayton stays on the staff.
 
I'm sure this has been posted elsewhere, but this is his MySpace ridiculousness:

MySpace.com - Jarvis Giles!!!Ya digg!!! - 18 - Male - Tampa,8 1 3 ya digg!!! - www.myspace.com/MrPuddleMaker

Prepare for an unpleasant assault on the eyes - his page is Exhibit A as to why Facebook is increasing in popularity compared to MySpace - but there is an interesting quotation from him:

"Jarvis Giles!!!Ya digg!!!'s Blurbs

This guy seems like a straight up punk, just viewing over his myspace page.
 
"Coach Kiffin is impressive," Giles said. "I don't know him well obviously, but I have a good vibe about him. He is an honest, straightforward guy."

"He spoke about how everyone was on a level playing field," Giles said. "It's a new offense for everyone including the returning guys and that the best player will play which means if I came there and worked hard I would have a chance to compete to be the starter."

Talking about Reaves and Drayton...

"It's nice that they are there," Giles said. "But the biggest thing is the even playing field and the fact that if I went there I would have a legitimate chance to play immediately."
 
Guess this is the blueprint he was talking about that made him so successful at USC. You go in every recruits home and tell them that at the start of EVERY year there are NO starters. In essence the upperclassmen and the freshman are starting from the same point. Everyone tries out every year for their starting spot, nothing guaranteed for seniority. I can see why he is such a successful recruiter...
 
still think he is USC bound but I think CLK is giving us a shot.

Yeah, especially with his "announcement" set for Tuesday. Why would he set an announcement to reannounce TN?

Granted, w/ Reaves at TN, it makes sense for him to come here.

I hope we get him though, if he comes, I think he'd be the best in the stable right away...and that's saying a lot.

Per KNS:

The one-time Tennessee commitment from Gaither High School in Tampa, Fla., has long said that he will again commit to be a Vol if running backs coach Stan Drayton is retained on UT’s staff.

It has to be announced somehow.
 
I think you're reaching on him being the best back we have.

I thought so too before I looked at him closer.

My understandings are that Oku is fantastic and will be great in a year or two but that Giles has a serious chance for starting year 1 if he works hard this spring.
