[Freak]

Ugh.

BREAKING: Tennessee starting CB Rickey Gibson tells On3 he plans to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal this spring.

 

[Vol_sanity]

Somebody explain this to me like I am 8 years old? Starting SEC corners leaving makes no sense...

Has to be an NIL issue

 

[SoMissVol]

@dascoop @JAllen18 @KingVFL any inside info on this?

 

[Doberman]

Good Lord.

 

[TAF]

wanted McCoy $...

 

[FranklinVFL]

Hard loss. But best to just set him aside and use spring practice to find his replacement.

 

[Volfan_1999]

between this and mod's ACL, our secondary is cooked.

College football is so much better these days.............do I really need to put this in blue font?

 

[D3Athlete]

Ap posted already. All about money

 

[vollygirl]

Ah, nuts.

 

[GoBigOrange_2309]

Timing makes no sense. He’ll miss spring with everybody right?

 

[BigBadVol]

It’s always about the money.

 

[vol94]

The portal is closed until late March or early April? Why didn’t he hit the portal in Dec/Jan?

This one hurts .

 

[etsuvol13]

Pull him out of class and send his butt home then.

 

[Ttucke11]

Damn this is annoying. Why would he leave? That makes no sense.

 

[jp1]

Every time a team is down at a position....there will be a negotiation. It's really getting ridiculous. He knows he has them by the cajones.

 

[PA Vol]

Probably tried to leverage the McCoy injury for more money and now is butt hurt. But he’ll stick around all spring, have a free semester, continuing using university resources…

 

[SGMVols]

Obvious money play

 

[Hacksaw]

Going home to Alabama?

 

[ashleyyy]

the portal is exhausting and too volatile. I have to stop paying attention to it.

If he’s serious about leaving they won’t let him go through spring ball. They’re not going to coach up a kid for someone else.

Crazy how he will still receive Free tuition, room and board, trainers, access to training and conditioning….


Edit - I wonder if this is similar to the Matthews situation and TN will offer Gibson/Carter more $$$ to stay.

I'm sure some team reached out to him. Paying players is one thing but they have to do something about the tampering from other teams.
