'20 GA ATH Arik Gilbert (LSU commit)

[volinbama256]

Why would Gilbert go to GA and share the TE spotlight with Washington? He'd start and be a main focus day one at UT...

 

[SCvol333]

I’d love him here. But I get why there would be some appeal to replace 84. Clearly they can utilize that position

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

We need this guy!

 

[Blake25p]

What’s the latest with Gilbert @secking ? Vols still a factor?

If by main focus you mean a blocker, then yes, that’s what he would be in Chaney’s offense

No... no he wouldn’t

 

[Wickman]

No... no he wouldn’t

Other than Rivera... when has he ever used the TE? He drastically under used Issac Nauta.

I’m not digging into chaneys career like that, but there’s no way he hasn’t seen what AG can do with Bailey throwing to him. Jg never saw TEs, but as soon as Bailey started playing, they were targeted a lot more, so that tells me the decisions were more on the qb than the oc last year

Has anybody considered he may go to Texas, or even Oklahoma.

The only conference school that makes sense is Florida.

Considering he was homesick, no. At least not Texas or Oklahoma.

Main thought is he arrives on campus somewhere in summer. He’s cut off most around him including getting a new phone. People like his former HS coach do not even have his new #.

HB better have those digits

HB better have those digits

Even if he does do you feel confident going up against UGA and UF for him? Especially with the uncertainty hanging over us?

I feel confident that we should try.

lol not like I’ll be surprised or heart broken if he goes somewhere else, but you better believe I want HB in his ear

Pope is returning so problem solved .......

We recruited AG as a WR.........

Completely agree. Hopefully Bailey got that unlimited 5G data and is blowing Gilbert’s phone up.

Didn’t LSU pretty much use him as a WR?

Texas already got a jumbo WR in this recruiting class. Hopefully we can get Gilbert to come and do this for us:

No. With JG it was because he didn’t have the confidence to throw to TE’s. We had success with Bailey and Shrout throwing to Te’s at the end of the season.

 

[Catbone]

Why TF would this guy come here lmao

 

[Ace]

To play with his HS teammate - H Bailey

Define success
