'25 GA LB Christian Gass (Tennessee commit)

[thunder5]

I remember the days of freaking out over news like this and what is (potentially…not confirmed) going on with Travis Smith…I legitimately just don’t feel that anymore…

I’ve thought a lot about why and I’m convinced its two things…my confidence in this staff and the changes brought about by the transfer portal…I have no doubt we are going to get next level players from HS and/or the portal…I am equally as confident that this staff will develop them and then call the right plays/formations to maximize their abilities…

I hope we hold on to Gass and Smith…but if they decide to go somewhere else then so be it…there will be others…especially at their respective positions

Travis Smith didn’t show and had no intentions. He is locked in

On Christian Gass.. heard back from him earlier. He’s at Georgia this afternoon, and says it was a convenient trip to be able to spend some time with some of his friends who are there. Says he’s just enjoying some time before he leaves for college. Now, obviously UGA is going to push here until the end, but Gass says “I’m still locked into Tennessee”. He also tells me he will be back to town for the Florida game next month.

I think that's an encouraging sign that he talked to VQ today.

Well this is awkward. I already burned my mattress.

That’s great news!

Good to hear BUT anytime a committed guy vista other schools you have to monitor it.

 

[walkenvol]

Not particularly related to Gas’s, but It’s another example of why the staff keeps recruiting year round. Anyone can leave, decommit, or be injured. Have to constantly keep reloading.

 

[ScornedPapaVol]

We could also find a better option. Neverending cycle.

would be disappointing

He’s a highly valued commit. Not easily replaced. We’d have to flip someone else’s we previously weren’t in on.

 

[ScornedPapaVol]

These big boy recruiting battles are not for the faint of heart....

 

[volunteerpaul]

Lol, 18 year old kid gets free trip,sideline access, and host everywhere? Anybody staying home?

 

[KingVFL]

I wouldn’t stress here

Heupel as far as I know has only lost one commit that they still wanted- Sylvester Smith to Auburn.

Their recruiting process is concrete and the guys really do buy in once they commit.

And…we don’t want to be Clemson, and stressing recruits and not letting them enjoy the process.

I think he’s extremely hard to replace. He’s a WR athletically and can also pass rush. Tall and is light on his feet.

Some people refuse to accept the cure for their BVS. They have lived so long with the infection that the thought of being cured scares them. It is a little sad.

These new memory foam jobs burn hotter and stink worse! The cost of innovation I guess.

A lot of these people like to claim it's BVS, but they are constantly worrying about this or that in their daily life.

That kid was destined to go to Auburn. The only reason we got him in the first place was because Harson sucked at recruiting. Even if Harson got fired the following year he most likely would’ve transferred to Auburn.

I switched to a water bed. They're harder to get started and they self extinguish.

Throw some alkali metals to it. They will fix your problems.

Seems like a really good kid... Allot of good things to say about the coaching staff

 

[MoB_MoVols]

Christian Gass created some buzz last week when he showed up at Georgia. Volquest spent time with Gass this week, and two things are clear. Georgia will swing until the end, and to this point, Gass has built the best relationships on Rocky Top. He will be back to campus in October for the Florida and Alabama games. We continue to believe it will be tough for the Bulldogs to flip him away from his Tennessee commitment, though they will undoubtedly continue to try.
