I think he does wait and so do we. He's pretty much our only chance at an elite QB this cycle as things stand. It's not like taking another moderately ranked but serviceable QB a few months earlier is going to generate a mass committal of elite talent that wouldn't have otherwise occurred. We'll see.

What if TG were to commit to UT tomorrow? I'm not sure why everyone thinks there are 4-5 5* recruits just sitting back waiting to follow TG wherever he decides to go.

IF he waits till NSD, much like last year I'd expect the class to be full or within 1-2 spots of being full. (McKenzie plans to announce on NSD). Just how many kids are going to all a sudden ON NSD pick UT because Gibson did? There won't be any spots.

Room will be made...

We can't seem to stop people from quitting

It is possible the coaching staff wants Jennings at S.

If that is what they said, I doubt he would have committed, especially as early as he did. The fact he is a commitment tells me QB. JMO

Maybe they want TG at TE? :) Maybe that is why TE recruiting this year seems slow. They know TG is a possibility closer to NSD as a TE.

I don't see any scenario where CBJ would turn down the #1 player in the state. Not sure what timing has to do with that.

Finally. It had to happen. You know you want him there RF. It's a no brainer. :good!:

I don't understand why people think we have get a commitment from another QB before NSD. I understand that would be way better, but it's not a do or die situation. If the question is whether to wait on Gibson or take an earlier commitment from a mid tier QB I think you have to wait on Gibson. Conventional wisdom says that all the other elite QBs left already have their minds on committing somewhere else. That can change, but as things stand today our best bet is to wait on Gibson.

If this drags out til NSD and we still haven't signed a QB, I'll be pretty confident that Butch knows he will land TG.

I think part of the problem is a lot of folks see TG as a mid tier QB himself. Some even feel he is a major project so not sure that would even make him "mid tier". After losing Ferguson I am quite sure the staff will add that 2nd QB asap. Most know I was 100% against taking a 2nd kid in 2015. After Riley left the staff does not have much of a choice IMO.

Very likely Jennings RS's. IF the staff takes Gibson I'd bet he RS's as well. Your going into 2015 with 2 QBs and 2 guys who would not be close to ready. I think that is why a lot of the people on this board are kind of shifting their "QB wants" to Dormady, or another QB like that who throws the ball a little better and may be able to play sooner.

What's new today in the TG thread? We still think he sucks and don't want him? Committed to Auburn yet?

I don't think there's as many people who think the # 1DT QB in the country is a mid-tier QB as you imply. Seven people in a forum doesn't constitute a majority. For what it's worth I think the pessimism of Gibson's passing ability is garbage. It also stands to reason that if Coach Jones thinks Gibson is mid-tier player then our recruiting efforts have been severely misplaced this cycle. As to the RS statement, I don't think that matters. RS or no RS any QB we take is not going to play much in their true freshman year barring emergency anyways.

Just because they announce on NSD, doesn't mean that they decide on NSD.
