Get him here and then we can figure out where to play him be a nice problem to have or just tell him like most schools will and then do what you want to, most do it like that anyway.

Torrance Gibson's Status, Travis Waller's Offer, Andre James' Visit and More | Eleven Warriors

(Article)THE GIBSON SITUATION
As documented recently, there are some red flags surrounding Torrance Gibson, the nation's top-ranked athlete in the 2015 class. Rumors of altercations at school and an overall shift in his attitude had started to contribute to some wondering whether or not he was worth pursuing.

Despite those flags, Gibson's talent keeps people clinging to the idea of "if we can just get him on campus, maybe things will shift." Unfortunately for Ohio State, Gibson's been unable to make it to campus, despite a number of trips to other colleges, some as far away as Norman, Oklahoma.

He recently spent a number of days in Knoxville, Tennessee and has already scheduled a return trip for later this month. That trip came after a repeat visit to Auburn, and the Buckeyes, despite repeated efforts to get him to commit to a visit; have been unable to secure one.

Why is that? How is that? That's anyone's guess. Clearly there are people around Gibson who've had no issues getting him where he wants or is asked to be, yet Ohio State's been left out of the picture.

If I were to guess? Oscar Meyer was selling him on being "the man" and the 1 QB he took in 2015. Ohio State per quotes from Gibson started to back off him. When Meyer took Burrows, Gibson IMO more less eliminated them at least for now. All the other school take QBs(which looks like will happen), and maybe they get back in it IF he ever visits Columbus.

You know a thread is bad when a post from pedigo makes the most sense.

:lolabove: So true.

Upon reflection today, I've realized just how much of a waste of time this thread has been. I think I'm just going to check out of this thread until Gibson shows up again next weekend for the Big Orange Carpet camp.

At this point, I doubt he even visit's that craphole up in Ohio. The great UM is finally finding out what life is like outside the SEC. And recruits are finally figuring out that great players make great coaches and not the other way around. Oop's, hang on a minute, think I have a heart murmur or a tebow coming on.

I got in trouble for that the other day and apologized but there are 2 to 3 others that have been doing ALOT of that in this thread, so don't start singling me out.

I have absolutely ZERO problem with anyone else having a different opinion than me. My problem is that there is about 4 posters give or take, that are in here regularly and they take personal shots at the kid which is uncalled for. If you haven't noticed, THAT'S when this thread blows up quickly. I'm sure you're smart enough to figure out who these people are when you loo
Code:
k at the traffic in this thread.

You don't think TG will be a QB? Fine, cool whatever. It's their opinion and they're entitled to it, no matter how delusional it is.

Ragging on the kid for having transportation problems, then using that as a way to say he's scared of competing? That's grade-A bull**** and completely uncalled for imo.

Absolutely agree but regardless of your rationale to personally dog a poster which they may well deserve...take a minute, regroup and be the better man.

Hate to say anything but it's not like he exactly struggled in his 1st year at Ohio st. Not that they played anybody worth mentioning in the majority of their games. Just don't think the fact that he went undefeated last year really helps your argument against his coaching.

That was 2 yrs ago. Last year he faced 2 decent teams; MSU and Clemson and lost both.

Going undefeated in the big 10 is like beating a bunch of kindergarteners at dodgeball.

I just spoke with JC Shurburtt from 247 sports and I asked him for a few updates. Here's what he told me. On Torrance Gibson, he feels like Tennessee is certainly the team to beat right now. He feels like OSU and Torrance have faded away from each other. He feels like LSU could be the dark horse in this recruitment as they are telling Torrance they will change their offensive scheme for him. He feels like more than likely TG ends up at WRU. On Quinten Dormady, he feels like he is our true QB this year. He's a big kid with a good arm and has impressed recently. He feels like Jauan Jennings is a headhunter at Safety and is better than Rashaan Gaulden. He also feels like Jauan would be making a mistake staying at QB on the next level because his upside is SO high as a safety. TIFWIW

On QD commitment:
“It’s a business,” Gibson told govols247. “When a kid’s decided to commit and he’s ready to commit, you can’t hold that against him. … I feel like I (still) can go in and play early (at Tennessee). I have no problem with competition, and I have no problem competing for the job. That’s what football is all about, is competing and having fun.”
