If he wants to come here and the staff wants him that's great, He is a good athlete and we could probably find a position for him somewhere. I just don't see him as a program changer.

Or he had a great conversation where CBJ talked to him like a man and told him he was not going to be able to take him this year. Maybe he told him QB and WR were both full. Maybe TG respected the fact that CBJ did not tell him what he wanted to hear. Then after that conversation it was much easier for TG to make his decision to announce elsewhere.

I think that is plausible, but he declared UT his leader AFTER that tweet when he was at the opening. I think he is a take, but I hope Butch is realistic about QB opportunities. To me, it's a no-lose situation. You take 5 star talent, give him a shot at QB at practice, and if it doesn't pan out, you have speed, strength, and talent at a number of other positions (safety I hope).

Internet bet... SMH....
Its silly to guaran..damn..tee anything on this situation. Its so fluid. Speaking in absolutes like that in July makes most posters think you are full of it. Do I think he will come in and set the world on fire as a qb ? It's looking less and less likely. Am I throwing in the towel on TG being able to compete for some roll on our team, and earning a spot ? Absolutely not

I highly doubt Jones would tell him no if he really wanted to come here. You honestly think Jones told him that, "Oh we ain't going to have room for you so you can just go on and committ to Auburn if you want too." I'm sure Jones wants his team to win like the rest of us and it's silly to think he wouldn't make room for an elite athlete like Gibson. JMO

He's not an elite player at either qb or wr. I don't think he comes here. I also think Gibsons star rating will take a huge hit

So Scott Kennedy, director of scouting for Scout.com, calls him the second best wr prospect he saw all of last year and hes not elite? Seems legit.

losing 1 star is not a huge hit...IMO if he is classified as an athlete, he may not take a hit at all. No one ever said that he was not an electrifying and exceptional athlete. Trying to stick at QB is what may hurt him in the long run.

He played wr last year? That's news to me. I don't trust the recruiting sites at all when it comes to evaluation. I think van Jefferson is better.

Now that Scout ranks him as strictly a qb he is still a 4 star top 43 player. That is after seeing him throw in person. he dominated games his first year. Why would his ranking drop now?

Reports seem to point to AU is no longer pushing for him. Kind of similar to UT backing off. I that the *'s have a lot of folks refusing to believe it, but if you are actually paying attention, it's all very clear.

I can't decide if this is ignorance or a willful distortion of the facts.

I'm not going to quote all the articles out there that talk about his potential at QB and WR. If you have any doubts you can type "TORRANCE GIBSON POTENTIAL" in to the Google search box.

IF CBJ did try and take a 3rd QB and doing so could cost you either 1 or both of the QBs already committed, it would very much be a sure lose situation. I understand why fans don't care about what other recruits may be told. Lie to them, do what you gotta do to sign the *'s. Of course those other recruits may have a different opinion than some fans. IMO CBJ will do the smart thing and that is sign Jennings and Dormady and wish TG well elsewhere. IMO, he already has.

Yes, TG has named UT his leader recently. IMO it's because as of now I don't think he has many other options who would take him. UT will remain his leader till he finds a school that will take him. From the looks of it, it will not be UT, OSU, AU, or Miami.

After watching him throw...he loses a star...mystery wrapped in an enigma there...question for you... before the big argument was "how can you pass on 5 star talent?"...is that as pointed a question if he's four star?.... Or lower? :gone:

They have been saying he is a 5 star athlete and a 4 star qb. Now at strictly qb he is a very, very high 4 star. Nothing has changed. He is still a 5 star talent. At strictly qb he is still more highly ranked than Dormady.

Yet Quinten is a Vol and TG won't be. :zeitung_lesen:

UT's coaches know what they are doing.
