I don't think anyone here hates him. Its just that those that want him at all cost (like running off committed players for him), because he's a 5*, keep throwing up how all the other recruits and insiders are liars and TG's word is gold and that forces the others to come back with all the bad...
The fact the Gibsonites are having to resort to not counting JJ now, since their "CBJ is taking 3 QBs" fell through, shows even they can see the writing on the wall. So they grasp for anything to use, like an A&M commit's word, who picked Trent Thompson to Auburn, to keep hope alive. Two kids...
Its amazing how much has to be twisted and swept under the rug to believe that TG is being recruited to be a QB at UT. You have to believe:
1. All the rumors are just smoke with no fire.
2. All the other schools letting up is just coincidence.
3. The insiders are lying or are being lied to...
Its more likely the fact that he didn't look good at QB at the Opening and Elite 11. Other than being able to throw the ball far he has very little QB qualities that stand out. There are alot of athletes that can throw the ball far and run great that would never make it as a QB in D1.
They got to give Saban's recruits the extra hype. Its in their contract. I wouldn't be surprised if they broke away from KM's announcement to do an interview with him.
If that was the case they would announce it early so they could talk about the surprising news they got for the rest of the show. KM committing to UT isn't a news story to them.
His known abilities is that he is athletic. Not that he is a great passer. Thats why all you hear is how with a year or 2 of QB coaching he could be good and even then its still a gamble. His highlights show him as Nick Marshall style QB. One that can run great but is average at best as a...
I think people are too stuck on the number of stars. A 3 or 4 star player, at a position of need, that can come in and play right away is way more important than a 5 star player that has to ride the bench for awhile before he can ever even see the field at his position.
Gibson is a 5*...
I didn't say the coaches were doing interviews saying he wasn't. I said the experts/insiders that talk to the staff are. Most of the quotes/comments on here in favor of TG being signed as a QB are straight from TG's mouth or from people repeating what he told them.
Not when he's talking about...
Well then TG is trolling someone because he hasn't been quite about who he wants to play with at UT, at all. Its obvious TG just wants the attention and you can't trust anyone who will do or say anything to get people to notice them.
I trust what the people close to the coaches, who care...
Its no different than the ones that claim everything that comes out that doesn't say "TG is a definite take and the #1 QB on the board" is lying. Both sides are doing the same thing. There are just as many experts/insiders saying one thing as saying the other.
TG wants attention and you can...
I don't know where he is going to end up. He changes his leader by the visit and seems to love the drama too much. Having his own blog and him saying that just meeting the coaches and people was the thing he love about the process says enough. I still want him but I think he is one of those you...
I think CBJ would still talk to him even if he had his mind made up to not take him (no matter the reason). I don't think people like RC on 247 would say things like he has without there being something going on.
There is nothing to gain by making stuff like that up. You certainly don't...
